So, I watched the 2012 movie The ABCs of Death, and I must say...I am somewhat disturbed as to some of these directors' thoughts. Most of these clips were just...insane. But, I couldn't help but watch it all, to see what all the words would be, from A-Z. X got to me most, I think, because of the insults being flung at her.

For those of you that don't know, The ABCs of Death is a compilation of movie shorts that are based off of someone dying on a single word; the word had to start with the letter that that one director (out of a group of 26) had been sent, and given $5,000 each for the production of the clip.

I have to warn, though, if you have a weak stomach, don't watch it. Some of the scenes are pretty graphic.

I just wanna see if anyone else here has seen it, and what you thought of it. 

Why?

@James, Because, as crazy a movie as it is, it is interesting. To me, anyway.

Meh, I've seen too many people die IRL that I have no interest in seeing fictional simulations. I don't even like war movies anymore...

I'm the only person I know who loves anthologies, and I remember seeing this a couple years ago. After so many jump-scares, cheap sci-fi mashups, and generic slashers, it was interesting to see a different approach to horror and gross-out even if some of them were pretty far out. I was cracking up at F.

If you like horror anthologies and don't mind subtitles, try 4bia.

I've got to be honest; I was bored to tears. I thought it was completely awful.

Yeah, F is pretty funny! Also, I'll have to check out 4bia!

@Tegan, It's not the best movie ever, for sure, but it's interesting to me to see what people can come up with in those situations; being given $5,000 and a letter and making a short film out of it.
