31 Days of 31 Horror Movies for Halloween: Day 8 - ABC's of Death 1




Day 8: ABC's of Death
Via: Netflix
Release Date - 2012

Synopsis: An anthology of stories helmed by more than two dozen directors details 26 ways to die, each corresponding to a different letter of the alphabet.

SPOILER ALERT - No plots given, only my like and dislike.

Like the ABC's of Death 2, I will just write if I liked it or not since plots are so short.
However, before you read the rest, click the link below for a story of an Ohio teacher jailed for 90 days for showing this movie to her Spanish class.


*Liked
**Loved

A is for Apocalypse - Not a bad start to the series. Good effects, good emotion and surprise ending.
B is for Bigfoot - Meh, storyline is overdone and effects are lame.
C is for Cycle - Confusing plot, bad acting and worse effects.
*D is for Dogfight - Unique story with surprising ending and very well shot.
E is for Exterminate - Super cheesy CGI completely killed 
F is for Fart - Leave it to the Japanese to make a fart-horror flick. Alas, it was just dumb.
G is for Gravity - This was by far, the stupidest short ever. It's as dumb as the title suggests.
H is for Hydro-Electric Diffusion - This one was just odd, and not in a good way. People dressed up as furries. Nazis and a giant killing machine. Unique but not worth watching.
I is for Ingrown - Boring. Just a typical killing scene from any other horror film.
**J is for Jidai-geki (Samurai Movie) - This was HUGELY entertaining. The effects alone made this worthwhile. It's humorous and disturbing.
*K is for Klutz - Although the death scene kind of a last thought, this cartoon short was pretty funny.
**L is for Libido - WOW! Disturbing in so many ways. Highly sexual and lots of bodily fluids. Awesome!
M is for Miscarriage - Dumb, just dumb.
*N is for Nuptials - Funny and unique plot with a parrot.
**O is for Orgasm - Beautiful concept of the word and a fetish. Creepy, sexy and stimulating.
*P is for Pressure - Deals with an unknown, disturbing fetish and has a real world narrative.
*Q is for Quack - Funny take on their short's subject matter. Not great, but not bad.
*R is for Removed - Very interesting ideas here, effects were pretty good and storyline was bizarre.
S is for Speed - Very Robert Rodriguez. Started out good but the grim reaper was really lame.
**T is for Toilet - Amazing claymation short about a simple and humorous subject.
U is for Unearthed - Non-imaginative and dull.
**V is for Vagitus - Very unique story and the effects are pretty well done. Great little action short.
W is for WTF! - Too random and poor makeup.
**X is for XXL - Very disturbing and sad. Great effects and ending.
*Y is for Youngbuck - Disturbing subject matter, great cinematography and editing. Makes you feel dirty.
*Z is for Zetsumetsu - Just plain bizarre scenes filled with gore an nudity.
