One of 26 fatal segments of The ABCs of Death.
The horror film The ABCs of Death is a high-concept anthology movie if ever there was one: 26 individual “chapters” on the topic of death, each helmed by a different director assigned to a specific letter of the alphabet.
Showcasing the wide variety of possibilities when it comes to that most final of topics, the segments include the fatal visions of such established genre filmmakers as Ti West (The Innkeepers), Xavier Gens (The Divide), Adam Wingard (V/H/S) and Yoshihiro Nishimura (Tokyo Gore Police) amongst a whole helluva lot of them.
The unrated ABCs of Death, which features an ill-fated a cast of performers from around the world, received a limited release to theaters in the U.S. following its rollout to genre film festivals around the world. Though the critics didn’t rave about it all that much—“overkill” was the general feeling—the film sure received a whole lot of buzz online.
The DVD and Blu-ray editions of the film include the following features:
-Behind the scenes footage
-Making-of featurettes
-Deleted scenes
-Filmmaker commentary tracks (Over 30 Filmmakers)
-BD-Live Feature (Blu-ray only): Additional Short Film Contest Submissions

Interesting concept which has been done before but not to this extent. I love horror films so I really want to see this, but I can already say from watching the trailer, I’m probably gonna skip the “D” segment. Big tender spot for animals; people, not so much. How sick is that? Thanks for the review.
I think I’m with you on skipping the “D” entry, Anita. Hopefully, the “L” segment will make up for it. It sounds intriguing…!
