Plot:
The second in the ABCs of Death series – 26 directors from around the world were given a letter from the English alphabet and had to make a short, themed on death. Though this was better received than the 1st part, personally feel ABCs 1 had more memorable shorts.
Some of the ones I enjoyed here came late like Ochlocracy, Split, Xylophone (from the makers of Inside) and Zygote.
Random:
Look out for the credits where Laurence R Harvey (Martin from Human Centipede 2) pops up jerking off to one of the shorts.
Honestly, this was better than the first one. It’s almost like a bunch of filmmakers saw ABC’s of Death 1, saw the hit-or-miss nature of the shorts and said “I can do better than that”. It’s hard to pick a favorite letter for this one, but it might have to be Z. I’m really looking forward to watching the 3rd in the series. I hope the quality keeps up.
This one is good too. More inclined to comedy than the first one, though. That plot twist on “S” was amazing.
I really thought for a second that T would be about Tentacles but it’s not. haha
Favs: A, O, R, S, U, Z
I also agree with the part that the prequel movie was more daring and memorable on their themes than this one.
