A bad ending can leave a bad taste This was a semi-enjoyable collaboration of horror films, about 5 minutes each. Some were very good ("Buddy"), some were so-so, and others we sat through to get to the next Letter (read: crap). Still, guessing the title of the short film you just saw, based on its letter in the alphabet, was fun. And each were on a limited budget, so you have to cut them some slack in that regard.
I won't go into details about the movie, as many other reviewers have given their insight. My review is focused on one letter...
Z ruined the entire endeavor. I gave the overall film 5 stars here on IMDb, to tip my hat to the other filmmakers. I did not sit through the Z film - I turned it off midway - thus don't know who directed it, or care. I can take gross and nonsensical to a point, but additionally this waste of celluloid was so insulting and hateful to America that I could watch no further. Suffice to say that on top of the continuous anti-America rant and visuals throughout, the Twin Towers and a airplane were depicted on a pair of breasts.
It's art, right? I should get over it. If so, is it OK to make an "artsy" film that claims the Holocaust was a hoax? Is it OK to make fun of the plight of slaves in America for the sake of a scare or a laugh? When is it "too soon," or is it ever really okay to laugh at these events? So while The ABC's of Death gets a 5 on IMDb, I gave it a "Hated it" on Netflix and a "don't bother" to anyone who asks. Perhaps I'm not "open-minded" enough; perhaps, that's okay by me. For those of you who have watched this film, you know that I can take a lot, from A to Y. Z was just too vigorously assaulting on my sensibilities as an American.
Too bad, because so many other filmmakers worked so hard to produce their contributions to this film.
