THE ABCs OF DEATH [RED BAND movie trailer]
The ABCs of Death to me is what black sheep are to the flock, rather fluffy. Unique too. Though I don’t usually go for body-horror (everything Shin’ya Tsukamoto, Takashi Miike and David Cronenberg aside of course) this is going to be an absolute splatter, and it premieres in Auckland tomorrow night!!!
Kiwi film-buff maverick Ant Timpson, notorious for presenting audiences with some of the most offensive creations ever shunned from human awareness on behalf of decency, has a new bloody bag of tricks. 26 directors from around the world were each given a letter of the alphabet to inspire a short film, under the guise of death. An anthology brought about by Ant Timpson himself, with special help of course:
“You are cordially invited to the New Zealand Premiere of THE ABCs OF DEATH, a feature film I produced with Tim League of Austin, Texas and Magnolia Pictures NYC. The film screens in The Mighty Civic Theatre on Sat April 20th, 10pm as part of the Autumn Season of the New Zealand International Film Festival. By the way, when I say ‘cordially invited’, I mean buy a ticket to the event and support my premiere.” ~ Ant Timpson
A 26-chapter anthology that showcases death in all its vicious wonder and brutal beauty.
The ABCs Of Death looks like the complete opposite of whatever romantic imagery I have floating around in my head. I’m not missing this. I’m going because I’m interested in what ideas people have extrapolated out of death and also to support Ant — Thanks for reading my “inane pop-culture blog” 😛 Sonofaguilttrip!
