Critics Consensus

ABCs of Death 2 delivers some inventively gory thrills, offering a surprising (albeit still somewhat uneven) upgrade over its predecessor.

Once again, this format proves as much a curse as a blessing. Yet the variety that makes the collection so uneven is also its best asset.

Each film is too short to be really satisfying, but the iTunes shuffle-style format ensures you're rarely bored. You don't like the entry for the letter G? Don't worry, H will be here any minute.

What results is a survey of what's both glorious or at least intriguing about the directions in contemporary horror, and what's problematic as well.

There are a few little masterful strokes here, though enjoying them feels a bit like trudging through a bargain bin.

Hopefully, in the future, the franchise continues to improve, but not many people are demanding an ABCs OF DEATH 3 other than hoards of Fantastic Fest-ers.

ABCs of Death 2 is, like its predecessor, riddled with pointless and somewhat interminable short films...

The series has graduated in terms of low-budget effects and creativity, but ABCs of Death 2 remains largely inconsistent.

I liked the first one and this one mostly landed for me. Yeah, there’s always gonna be some duds, but the insanity and overall violence/gore felt ratcheted up here.

Twenty-six stories of weirdness and horror. Following a wonderful pop-up book opening sequence, the viewer will be subjected to a variety of films from 26 directors around the country. I'd say this one is more weird than the previous film. Overall, enjoyed most of them. My faves are D, E, H, and T.

Absolutely terrible. Half of the short films were not even “horror”. And the other half weren’t memorable. There might be only 2 shorts that stood out to me.
