The ABCs of Death Movie Review: | |
Most are exercises in sickening bad taste, with an emphasis on human bodily functions. V.A. Musetto-New York Post At its best when merging shocks with social commentary, this halting compilation improves significantly as it nears the end of the alphabet. Jeannette Catsoulis-New York Times An enormously impressive and massively indulgent cornucopia of 26 short films from all over the world. Andrew O'Hehir-Salon.com It's a feast for fans of the genre and a guaranteed ordeal for everyone else. Jeff Shannon-Seattle Times There are just too many stories to fit into two hours - and even with fewer weak links, The ABCs of Death might have fallen short all the same. Ian Buckwalter-NPR Some shorts are four-star material, others incomprehensible and disgusting. The sum total is a cinematic abecedary that barely gets a passing grade. Ethan Gilsdorf-Boston Globe The quality of each segment varies widely. Charles Ealy-Austin American-Statesman A good concept yields scattershot results in this horror-film anthology. Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle The ABCs of Death is a repulsive and excessive excuse of blood-soaked entertainment that should make the horror fan in you squeal with delight. Chris Sawin-Examiner.com Weighed down by some sub-par entries and lacking some great genre minds, this compilation overall pales in comparison to other recent anthologies. Brent Simon-Shared Darkness Judging from their contributions, some of the filmmakers behind this 26-part anthology find death less fearsome than the thought of a cute girl farting. Peter Keough-Boston Phoenix An alphabetically-organized horror antology that's often unsettling but only sporadically rises above mediocrity and sometimes descends into absolute awfulness. Frank Swietek-One Guy's Opinion Short, sharp shockers about death in all its infinite variety, one for each letter of the alphabet. Maitland McDonagh-Film Journal International The possibilities are delicious. The reality is absolutely vile. Rob Vaux-Mania.com This is one seriously ghoulish and messed-up movie. I realize that certain blood-thirsty moviegoers will consider that high praise. This film is for them. And only them. Mike Scott-Times-Picayune It's a mixed bag, and it's mostly mixed toward the not-good. Alonso Duralde-What the Flick?! If you're gonna bother with this alphabetic orgy of gore and carnage, do it On Demand so you can fast forward through the unbearably bad ones. Brian Tallerico-HollywoodChicago.com This could have been an interesting opportunity to make short vignettes about the nature of death, which would have made for a far more fascinating film, but unfortunately, many of the filmmakers opted to try and gross out the audience instead. Jeff Beck-Examiner.com It's like you walked into the last day of a graduate film school production class, only to realize during the screenings that each of the students was messed up in the head. William Bibbiani-CraveOnline As neat as the organizing premise sounds, it's exhausting to commit to this many points of view in such a small amount of time. And several of the films are just awful. Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press | |
