The Amazing Adventures of the Living Corpse

My daughter and I recently watched The Amazing Adventures of the Living Corpse (2012) on Tubi. The story follows a young man who gains unique powers after being turned into a zombie during an outbreak in his hometown. He then uses those powers to protect his human friends from meeting the same fate.

Directed by Justin Paul Ritter (A Gothic Tale), the film features voice work from Maria Olsen (Percy Jackson & the Olympians), Maxx Maulion (Tony Tango), and Lee Perkins (Reptile).

The animation style is reminiscent of early 2000s Nickelodeon-think a budget version of Jimmy Neutron. The storyline is engaging enough and held our attention, and I appreciated the design of the zombies. However, the bite and attack scenes felt underwhelming-there's no blood, just a head moving toward someone's neck. The characters are serviceable but lack emotional depth, making it hard to fully invest in their fates. The film ends up being very average and predictable, which is disappointing given the potential of its zombie premise.

In conclusion, The Amazing Adventures of the Living Corpse is a mediocre entry in the animated genre. It's worth a watch if you're out of better options, but keep your expectations in check. I'd give it a 5/10.

Being a zombie aficionado, I pretty much devour, pardon the pun, every single piece of zombie material that I come across. And every once in a while there is something that is just such a swing and a miss that it makes you cringe.

"The Amazing Adventures of the Living Corpse" is one of those moments.

The story is utterly rubbish, and lacking a greater sense of purpose and coherency. It is just a random series of events put together into some kind of atrocity that is supposed to be a storyline. It just didn't work out.

And the animation itself didn't really help the movie along either. Why? Well, it was just too wooden and rigid, lacking proper movements and even failing to make the audience buy into it. It was sort of like a first draft at the animation to be presented, given a texture coating and then shipped off from the animator's desk. It was just not nice to look at.

The zombie was the sole thing in the entire animated movie that was worth looking at, but even that was nowhere near enough to make it worth suffering through. I gave up on this movie about 50 minutes into the confusion and mess.

Even the dialogue didn't pass off as being believable. It was forced, delivered without conviction and it was just downright embarrassing.

If you enjoy the zombie genre, then stay well clear of "The Amazing Adventures of the Living Corpse".

Just saw a screening of this at the Calgary International Film Festival and was fairly impressed. The animation and 3D effects were great. Soundtrack was very well put together. That being said the story felt a bit too rushed and disjointed. The plot was good, but the way it was put together could have been better I feel.

If you're into video game like movies and don't mind getting a little dizzy from the video game angles, then this is the movie for you. In fairness, the director was there for the Q&A and stated the film was not intended to be viewed on an IMAX screen and that could be one reason why it was so dizzying. There was also a weird pause in the movie (guess the director hadn't noticed it before - he seemed a bit embarrassed over it), but in later showings you probably won't notice this.

Honestly, I enjoyed it, but felt it could have been a bit better.

I really enjoyed this animated zombie movie. It's not a big budget Disney Film, but could definitely become a cult classic. There's a cool back story and it's based on an underground comic book character of the same name. The comic book creators are really talented and I recommend checking out their artwork on Facebook. I recommend this film for teens and above. The graphics are interesting and fun with a great attention to detail for a lower budget film. I also found out the film premiered at San Diego's Comic Con last year with a lot of positive response. I really support independent film makers that pursue their dreams, I find this film an inspiration !

I loved this movie! This was a cool zombie movie a great story line between a father and a son. The special effects were cool considering this was a low budget movie. I definitely recommend this movie. I found this movie on Red Box, I found it by accident, my friend wanted to see it. One Friday night we rented it and watched it twice. Afterwards I looked it up and found it online and bought it. My friends like and found it to be very interesting. My friend's kids enjoyed it very much. I'm actually buying 4 copies for my friend's birthday parties. I'm totally in to Zombie movies. Thanks to Red Box! Check it out it's so interesting!!
