Cast

Release

The Amazing Adventures of the Living Corpse premiered at the 2012 San Diego Comic Con. Four days later, it was picked up for distribution by Anchor Bay Entertainment.[2] Director Ritter delayed the release of the film several times so that he could fix issues with it.[3] It was released on home video on June 18, 2013.[4]

Reception

Gordon Sullivan of DVD Verdict said, "For most viewers the story isn't coherent enough to justify the low-tech animation."[5] Ryan Keefer of DVD Talk rated the film 2/5 stars and said, "The corpse's adventures are less amazing and more mundane."[6] Todd Dugan of The Digital Bits rated it D- and said that he would not recommend it to either horror or animation fans.[7]
