I don’t know what to say, but this red band trailer for ABCs of Death 2 is doing nothing for me, it just looks cheap and uninspired, but perhaps I’m just in a bad mood because I think that’s sort of the film’s intention. The trailer is certainly gory and beyond what we most often get from a red band trailer, which is probably why it was labeled “extreme” in the email I received, but I guess I just don’t see the humor in it, at least not as it’s presented here in this trailer.
The film brings together 26 directors for 26 different segments, all representing a letter of the alphabet and each director was given free reign as long as their segment was inspired by a word beginning with their respective letter and a story involving death. Said directors are Alejandro Brugués, Bill Plympton, Chris Nash, Dennison Ramalho, Erik Matti, Evan Katz, Hajime Ohata, Jen and Sylvia Soska, Jerome Sable, Jim Hosking, Juan Martinez Moreno, Julian Barratt, Julian Gilbey, Julien Bustillo and Alexandre Maury, Kristina Buozyte and Bruno Samper, Lancelot Imasuen, Larry Fessenden, Marvin Kren, Robert Boocheck, Robert Morgan, Rodney Ascher, Soichi Umezawa, Steven Kostanski, Todd Rohal and Vincenzo Natali.
The film arrives On Demand on October 2 with a limited theatrical release this Halloween. Give the not safe for work trailer a watch below.
