  I resisted seeing this movie initiallly given the mixed bag of reviews but, as the sequel is due, thought i would check it out. Has anyone else here seen this movie? The movie is a 26 instalment anthology covering every letter of the alphabet. Over two dozen different directors were tasked with making the individual segments, with each to focus on murder / death. The film itself jumps from the yawn inducing, to the hilarious, to the what the f**k have i just watched (the segments f, w and z cover the what the f**k perfectly). I dont think the film does enough though to make it more than a 1 watch but, its entertaining enough.

  I've seen it and honestly wish I didn't bother after watching it, none of the directors seem to take the prospect of making a short seriously, they just threw together random shit and put absolutely no effort into it.

  Know waht you mean jesslloydfan. It was fairly apparent tht none of the directors seemed to take making their individuual shorts seriously. I did have a chuckle at some of the more twisted shorts though. Trouble is the vast majority were dull as dish water. Was annoying waiting for the payoff only to feel short changed and then just move onto the next short. Reviews have been more positive for the sequel. Meant to be more serious than the first movie. Through sheer curiosity i will check that out at some point as well.

  To be honest seeing how bad the first one was has not exactly given me the inclination to watch it's sequel. Unless there is a dramatic improvement from the first it will just be a waste of two hours like the first. I'm actually very surprised it got a sequel at all.

  As the the original wasnt terrible i decided to give the sequel, The ABC's of death 2, a look today. Have gotta say its not all that different to the first. 4 or 5 good segments versus 20 odd ranging from the not so good to the just plain rubbish. My favourites were the segments y, z and the one in the attached video, d. Theres only the first half of the segment in this vid (all i could find). Its proper disturbing but all the better for it. Probably file this 1 under the same as the 1st, ok in parts but only a one watch.
