Utter garbage. Most disturbing part is Mickey Rourke's face, dude is addicted to surgery ...
I love horror anthologies. Mostly there are some hidden gems in there. V/H/S series was a great example to it. The same applies to the ABC’s of Death. This one has certainly a higher production value and seems to have a decent budget to pull that off. I cannot name a single short film within that ... is better than the others. They all seem to be equally good. Not great, but certainly good. The “horror” value was mostly “gore”, rather than a horror that gives you chills. This makes the film much easier to consume. Would I watch it again? Yes. Would I make my friends watch it? Yeah, it looks like a great get together and watch something film while having chats in between.
