ABC’S OF DEATH; DVD
DVD (2012), New
This totally wonderful comedy/horror anthology film is divided into 26 individual chapters, each envisioned by a different director assigned a letter of the alphabet. The directors were then given free rein in choosing a word to create a story involving death. The varieties of death range from accidents to murders. The movie begins showing a close up of a funnel with blood pouring ominously from it. The blood proceeds to fill up various rooms inside of a house before filling up the interior of a small room containing children’s letter blocks. The room floods as the blocks float to the top spelling out the title. Throughout the film, the blocks spell out the titles to all the segments with each of the segments ending and beginning with a focus on, or a fade into, the color red.
*Here is a hilarious example: F is for Fart (Noboru Iguchi)
School girl Yoshie is obsessed with her teacher Miss Yumi. One day while outside, a deadly gas breaks forth from the ground and kills anyone who inhales it. Yoshie and Yumi escape into a building where the former wishes to smell the latter’s farts instead of the gas. Yumi farts in Yoshie’s face and she is transported to a gas-filled dimension where she and Yumi make out.
Rated R: High impact sexual themes, violence and nudity
