Running Time : 123 mins

Another movie bringing a collection of 26 short stories focussing on the subject of death, directed by a variety of directors from around the world, though this time most of them seem to be British.

This just wasn’t as varied as the first movie, with too many British directors, especially at the beginning of the movie. Some of the better segments include E Is For Equilibrium with two men trapped on a desert island having their friendship tested by the arrival of a beautiful woman, M Is For Masticate which is beautifully directed as a man falls victim to the effects of bath salts, I Is For Invincible where a family try to kill their eldest family member, Q Is For Questionnaire which portrays an intelligent man having his brain transplanted into a gorilla, F Is For Falling with an Israeli paratrooper being discovered by an Arab boy, and N Is For Nexus which shows the before and after effects of an accident on Halloween. Unfortunately this also featured such drivel as C Is For Capital Punishment which just felt like violence for violence sake, J Is For Jesus which was just odd, G Is For Grandad which felt out of place, L Is For Legacy which looked really cheap, and T Is For Torture Porn which was terrible. In spite of a handful of decent shorts, the terrible ones unfortunately dragged my overall score down.
