Synopsis

From the screenwriter of the original 1968 Night of the Living Dead comes a shocking new wave of zombie mayhem to devour your dreams—and feed your nightmares . . .

THEY ARE WHAT THEY EAT

It starts with infected needles. It spreads like a plague. Soon the town of Chapel Grove, Pennsylvania, is overrun with cannibalistic corpses. Some are taken down with a bullet to the brain. Others, torched like kindling. But a few have survived—inside a maternity ward . . .

THEY'RE EATING FOR TWO NOW

Detective Bill Curtis manages to rescue his pregnant wife Lauren from the ward in the nick of time. But the other pregnant women are not so lucky. Some of them have been bitten—and infected. Now it's anyone's guess what's growing inside them . . .

THEY'RE THE NEXT GENERATION

But the nightmare isn't over yet. The infected mothers' newborns appear to be normal. But as the years go by, Bill and Lauren Curtis begin to worry about their beautiful, healthy daughter Jodie. Jodie is drawn to the town's "special" children, the ones whose mothers were bitten. They're reaching adolescence now. Their hormones are raging. And they're starting to possess strange appetites . . .

Contains mature themes.
