The ABCs of Death
The Profane Exhibit
An anthology that traveled festivals for a full decade and was tinkered with profoundly before it finally saw its domestic release a little while ago. It's not hard to see why this one took so long to materialize in full, but there are some very cool segments here, and true horror heads won't be disappointed. Boll's entry is a terrible low, but other than that most shorts are pretty interesting. What this anthology is lacking is some true standouts. Apart from Manna, by far the most visceral and mysterious short of the bunch, and to a lesser extent Nishimura's Hell Kitchen, there aren't any shorts that push the limits. But if you love a good horror anthology, be sure to give this one a shot.Read all
There's no lack of great ideas here, but the execution isn't quite on par. Both Hathaway a Sudeikis look kinda lost, the monster design is a little boring and the drama doesn't really gel. The film offers a constant tug between genre appeal and unrealized potential, making it a somewhat disappointing watch, though not without a couple of memorable moments.
