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.

**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.

31 Days of 31 Horror Movies for Halloween: Day 7 - ABC's of Death 2

Day 7: ABC's of Death 2
Via: Netflix
Release Date - 2014

Synopsis: Twenty-six filmmakers from around the globe helm stories that detail 26 ways to meet your maker, each one corresponding to a different letter of the alphabet.

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

A friend of mine sent me a link with 14 great horror movies to watch on Netflix, so I decided to take a gander at ABC's of Death 2. I'll eventually watch the first one tomorrow.

Ok, so I'll start out by saying that unlike my other posts, I will not give away the plot on any of these.
ABC's of Death 2 has 26 plots so short in length, that it is better to watch them all for yourself or find them on Youtube.

So I have just put stars next to the ones I liked and loved. This isn't a terrible collection. Not as good as the VHS series, but still very creative.

**A is for Amateur - funny, great beginning to the whole film.
B is for Badger - meh, kind of funny. Good gore.

*E is for Equilibrium - Humorous ending and plot.
F is for Falling - Meh. Story is a bit weak.

*H is for Head Games - Pretty entertaining animation piece.
I is for Invincible - A bit too cheesy with the killing scenes.
J is for Jesus - This one was weird. Torture scenes seemed good but main monster was lame.
*K is for Knell - Plot seemed a bit confusing but the effects were really amazing.
L is for Legacy - Bad all around. Confusing plot, bad acting and worse special effects.

T is for Torture Porn - Just bad all around.
U is for Utopia - Gattaca poorly made.
*V is for Vacation - Entertaining but effects were lame and characters lacked substance.
*W is for Wish - The over-the-top use of puppets and toy sets made this original and entertaining.

*Y is for Youth - Pretty good plot and effects were so bizarre it made it enjoyable.
**Z is for Zygote - The effects in this were SO gorey and the plot so weird that it was my favorite.

I enjoyed Zygote so much that below is the short:
