In what I think is the first Drafthouse Films-funded venture, Tim League and Ant Timpson enlist 26 genre film directors to each produce a short, each based on death and a letter of the alphabet. As is usual, I don't review shorts except when they are produced together to form a feature film. I'm not going to attempt to review every story; it's sufficient to say some were funny, some were bizarre, and some were downright disgusting. I can't recommend it for anyone with a stomach or conscious.
