It Came From Netflix:The ABCs of Death(2012)
By Eric Polk-
Nothing like a timely review of a talked-about movie. Before I begin, I'd like to mention the teacher charged with a felony for showing this to her classroom doesn't warrant a jail sentence. Poor judgement? Yes! Deserved to lose her job? Yes! There are a litany of problems in our American education system that should take priority over whether or not someone should go to prison for showing a movie. The priorities of The Powers That Be continue to baffle and irritate this one!.
The ABCs of Death are 26 segments directed by 26 directors popular in the world of horror. There are a variety of stories ranging from The End of The World, animation, Japanese torture porn(!), Man vs. Dog, etc. Like all horror anthologies, there are some great scenes(A,B,H,N, X,Y) but unlike Creepshow, even Tales From The Hood, there are a couple of segments that just go way too far. Showing a man punch a dog even though he has no choice really wasn't necessary. The hooker stomping a kitty made me shut this off for awhile. Thanks to this crap, anything that is good about this movie is overshadowed by certain directors needs to shock rather than tell a story. I'm not saying this is two hours of garbage, but it is pretty close.
If this movie would have kept with some of its humor and, such as in X, a pure revenge motif, I would have enjoyed this much better. For depicting scenes of both animal and child cruelty, I hereby induct The ABCs of Death as the first member into The Crazy Fat Ethel II Hall of Shame:Class of 2015

I watched Jeepers Creepers 3 here http://www.jeeperscreepers3.net/2015/02/jeepers-creepers-3-full-movie-download.html
I'm someone who has lived a life seemingly in the background, I must say this final indignity I have suffered almost too much to endure. You see, I have been sickly and weak since the day I was born and doomed to go through my life weakling. I seemed to have always suffered from one illness or another and could never play with the other children as I so desperately wanted to. Mother always made such a big fuss over me, also, making the situation worse as the other boys teased me mercilessly after they saw it. I was browsing the internet searching on how I could be transformed into a powerful person when I came across the email of a man named Lord Mark. who was a VAMPIRE so I told him that I has always dreamed of becoming a VAMPIRES, All i did was just to follow the procedure that i was been told, and i bet you that procedure I took change my entire life to something i ever desire, freedom, sickness free, pains free, fame, influence, connections and even more that i can. Thanks to Lord Mark. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Vampirelord7878@gmail.com
