Leave your thoughts about The ABCs of Death.
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.It's a very interesting collaboration of creative cinematic minds, and one that warrants at least one viewing. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekAn alphabetically-organized horror anthology that's often unsettling but only sporadically rises above mediocrity and sometimes descends into absolute awfulness. |
| Salon.comAndrew O'HehirThe ABCs of Death is one-stop shopping for deviant cinema, a Pu Pu platter of perversity. It made me laugh hysterically, shout with outrage, wince with discomfort and yearn to hide under the sofa, all by the halfway mark. |
| Examiner.comChris SawinThe ABCs of Death is a repulsive and excessive excuse of blood-soaked entertainment that should make the horror fan in you squeal with delight. |
| Shared DarknessBrent SimonWeighed down by some sub-par entries and lacking some great genre minds, this compilation overall pales in comparison to other recent anthologies. |
| StaciWilson.comStaci Layne WilsonAs to expected, ABCs is a mixed bag. It's just too bad there aren't more treats than tricks in this Halloween haul. |
| The ListHenry NorthmoreAs with all anthologies the nature of the format means some are better than others. And with this many on offer inevitably there are a few clunkers, but they are so short they don't have time to outstay their welcome. |
| The PlaylistRyan GowlandThe end result provides a range of quality, from the inspired and creative to the lazy and insipid, but one that horror fans will certainly devour. |
| ScreenCrushJordan HoffmanG is for Gimmick. But gimmicks are not necessarily a bad thing. |
| NerdistLuke Y. ThompsonIt's a midnight movie for folks with a sick sense of humor and an attention span dulled by booze. Feel free to take this review as a recommendation or a warning. |
