The ABCs of Death plot
"26 Directors, 26 Ways to Die."
A horror omnibus film consisting of 26 chapters, each title starting with a different letter of the alphabet. The central subject is death - or '26 ways to die' - but the interpretation is always different; these include beheadings, cannibals and animal attacks. The main title is inspired by the educational children's books with partly the same name.

What an incredible mess.
What is this? Is this movie trying to do something new? Because it succeeds with verve, but the film is so mediocre in most films that it is painful to keep watching it. Some are even so terrible that they already set the tone for the next cutscenes.
It started with A and B a bit better, because they were nice and coarse. Things already go wrong with C, but D is still kept above water for a while. What follows is mostly bland, not horror enough and certainly not comedy enough. F is really the low point of all cinema put together.
Gens has the best film with X, and Leecastle's animation can also continue with it. For the rest it is one horror after another. And the fact that there are still quite a few big names among them is even more bad, because some of them are too stupid for words.

The concept is nice, but the level of the movies is quite variable. Of course, with 26 segments you don't have much time to build something up, and that doesn't make it much easier. Still a lot of famous names who participated, and I have to say, some of the nicer movies are from the bigger names (the Q from Adam Wingard, the U from Ben Wheatley, the X from Xavier Gens, and also the B and the T were nice), but there is also a lot of crap in this (F, G, J, V, Z were all junk, some other letters I can't even remember anymore) and a few that just could go through with it. Overall, I wasn't really interested or amused, anyway.

26 filmmakers were assigned a letter from the alphabet with the assignment to make a film of no more than 5 minutes about death around a word that starts with that letter. Deserves a star for the daring set-up but the result is disappointing. Most segments are just style exercises, often with a surprising ending twist. Some other films fall into the category of semi-satirical, Dadaistic, incomprehensibly noncommittal. A few outliers (and not all of them positive) The letter F is a light-hearted tale about a young woman who is dying to smell Miss Yumi's fart before an earthquake ends her life; the letter L is about a man who can only avoid his execution if he cums faster than his opponent; the letter V is a neat SF thriller with a homage to Robocop, but the letter Z surpasses all previous letters with a really crazy parody of Dr Strangelove. It would be a shame to say more, but at least it made me laugh a lot.
