The ABC's OF DEATH is an ambitious anthology film featuring segments directed by over two dozen of the world's leading talents in contemporary genre film. Inspired by children's educational ABC books, the motion picture is comprised of 26 individual chapters, each helmed by a different director assigned a letter of the alphabet. The directors were then given free reign in choosing a word to create a story involving death. Provocative, shocking, funny and ultimately confrontational; THE ABC's OF DEATH is the definitive snapshot of the diversity of modern horror. Drafthouse Films, Magnet Pictures and Timpson Films are proud to present this alphabetical arsenal of destruction orchestrated by what Fangoria calls "a stunning roll call of some of the most exciting names in horror across the world."

Parent Guide

Very extreme violence and gore throughout.

Many of the subjects feature strong violence and gore.

A woman chopping a man's hand in half, resulting in a gaping, bloody wound; a pan of boiling water being poured over a man's head; a samurai chopping off another man's head, with copious blood.

A woman attacks a man in bed with a knife, cleaving his hand in two. She then stabs the knife into his neck, blood is seen gushing from the wounds as the man gags.

A woman hurls hot oil into a man's face, burning him. She then bludgeons him with the frying pan.

A couple is murdered in their home. The woman is seen with her heart completely removed, background light shining through it. The murderer's bloody weapon is shown.

A man strangles his clone with a hose bound in barbed wire. Blood squirts from his neck, and the segment ends with a close up of the puddle of blood.

A man has baby spiders hatch out of his ear.

A surfer drowns himself, shown in the first person. Not graphic.

A small child's head is ripped off, although the violence is shown only in darkened silhouette.

A severed head and a headless corpse are both seen.

A woman who carves herself into her ideal shape. We see the woman set about herself with a knife, a razor and an electric carving knife, whittling herself down.

A man is seen on a bed, being straddled by a woman wielding a chainsaw, who brings the blade down onto him, with huge blood-spurts.

A woman wears a gigantic prosthetic penis. We see ejaculation from the fake penis and then a blade shoots from the tip of the penis. It is implied that the blade penetrates another woman, although nothing is shown other than a spurt of blood and blood on the woman's clothing.

There are plenty of blood-spatters and raw flesh covered in blood.

A claymation of a toilet eating a man and a woman. Very bloody, but it can seem mild for those who are not of faint of heart.

A man is killed by a dog.

A man has his head chopped off by a Katana. His head rolls down in a disturbing manner and we see it covered in blood.

A woman shoots three men at the same time in the face. We see their faces getting blown and all the flesh coming out exaggeratedly.

A woman slices a man to pieces with a chainsaw. Heavily disturbing.

A woman shoots robots.

A zombie turns into fire. Very sadistic, but brief.

A fox-prostitute electrocutes a man.

A schoolgirl's head is turned into fire.

A woman holes her own leg. Gory and bloody.

An animated segment that shows a woman having a broomstick shoved up her anus.

A clown is decapitated by another clown.

Scenes of a man punching a dog and a kitten being murdered by having its head crushed (offscreen, but still disturbing).

A man's eyes are gouged out with deer antlers before his head is entirely torn from his neck. His eyeless head is then tossed through a basketball hoop.

A young boy is implied to have been raped and murdered.

Part of a man's skin is surgically removed from his back with a scalpel. Graphic and bloody, but not cruel. This is shown twice.

A man is suffocated in a used bed-pan. Not graphic.

A man bludgeons another man with a bottle of iodine, breaking it across his face.

A man is impaled offscreen with an IV stand.

A man is shot with a revolver, crashing through the window he was standing in front of.

A woman dies from a drug overdose. She is seen frothing at the mouth.

A woman injects a syringe into an infected wound.

In a claymation scene, a young boy's head is crushed by a falling toilet tank, his eyeballs fly out along with his brain.
