After two theatrical installments, the series is now going VOD with “ABC’s of Death 2 ½.” So, what’s the deal with it only being a half-sequel? Well this time around, instead of using every letter of the alphabet, 26 new directors were chosen out of hundreds of submissions from around world, all working with utilizing the single letter “M.” The result? Murder, madness, mayhem… you get the idea. Here’s the synopsis:
1 letter. 26 new directors. 26 new ways to die.
An anarchic, alphabet-themed anthology of short films, THE ABC’S OF DEATH franchise launched a “Filmmaker Frenzy” competition devoted to the letter M, collecting more than five hundred entries from over forty countries in the process.
THE ABC’S OF DEATH 2 ½ contains the best 26 shorts — each three minutes long — clocking in at 85 irreverent minutes of disturbing, inventive and unadulterated madness by the most passionate and talented upcoming filmmakers in the horror genre.
