Note: this is NOT a still from “The ABC’s of Death”. I Googled images from “The ABC’s of Death”, and they were all too gross to even post here.

Welcome to my first review for Scary Movie Month! I had to make the decision that only horror movies I COMPLETE will be reviewed here. Kicking off this month I started watching at least four horror movies that I had zero interest in completing. The first film that I actually completed was “The ABC’s of Death”, which was released in 2012 and actually just had a sequel released this year. This movie has a great premise: 27 different directors tackle each letter in the alphabet, resulting in what should have been 26 excellent and scary short films. WRONG. I was hoping that one, just one letter would stand out, but they were all pretty bad, some worse than others. This movie is also really gruesome and violent, so if you’re into “gross-out” horror, this is your bag, baby, but not mine.

I had only heard of one of the directors and his letter was probably the worst: “M is for Miscarriage” consisted of a girl standing in her bathroom, leaving to grab a plunger, and then returning to the bathroom to plunge her bloody toilet. THAT WAS IT. Someone paid that fool 5,000 dollars to make that. Sheee-yit just about anyone could have done a better job. “Q is for Quack” was okay. “S is for Speed” was okay too–another reviewer called it “Russ Meyer meets Bergman’s “The Seventh Seal””, which is accurate.

Final verdict: Skip this one. It’s not worth it. Trust me.

Scary? 2 out of 10. I’m not scared by gore, but I suppose some people would be.
Boring? 0 out of 10. This movie is many things (horrible things), but boring it ain’t.
Gory? 10 out of 10. “X is for XXL” was so disgusting I had to fast-forward it.

In other news, what’s up, blog? And happy Friday. I can’t wait to start packing, I MEAN IT I’M REALLY EXCITED.
