You can't call out the ABCs of Death for not being an ambitious horror anthology! Featuring shorts for every letter in the alphabet made by directors from all over the world with a budget of 5000$ each. This might be a bit much so it work's best on the small screen, giving you the chance to think about them or just taking a short break (it's clocking at a bit more than two hours). There is bound to be difference in the quality of the segments when it comes to anthologies but overall I found it to be an enjoyable project. Some shorts failed the mood a bit and "M" was a major disappointment (no idea what he used the 5000 bucks for). If you're a horror fan, nothing should stop you from watching it. I would not recommend it for casual viewers.

Standouts: D is for Dogfight (Marcel Sarmiento) / L is for Libido (Timo Tjahjanto) / N is for Nuptials (Banjong Pisanthanakun) / P is for Pressure (Simon Rumley) / T is for Toilet (Lee Hardcastle) / U is for Unearthed (Ben Wheatley) / X is for XXL (Xavier Gens) / Y is for Young Buck (Jason Eisener)
Bads: G is for Gravity (Andrew Traucki) / J is for Jidai-geki (Yƻdai Yamaguchi) / M is for Miscarriage (Ti West)

The horror anthology The ABCs of Death is a mixture of the macabre, the bizarre, and the absurd. Twenty-six directors from around the world have come together to create horror vignettes, each based on a letter of the alphabet. Some are quite imaginative and especially well-crafted, while others are trite and poorly constructed. On the whole about a third are worth watching, but the rest are garbage. The ABCs of Death is an interesting experiment in filmmaking, but it ultimately fails.
