I hated the first ABCs film. Most of the segments were just dreadful to sit through. Then part 2 came out and I was pleasantly surprised. Now this one is chockfull of the rejects who didn't make it into part 2! It's all the segments for the letter M. So we are going to see if they should have been kept away from us or not. I have heard of a few of the movies from some of the writer/directors. I have only seen the work of Wolfgang Matzl and Gigi Saul Guerrero. Of which I know I enjoyed Gigi's segment in Barbarous Mexico. Anyways let's see what they have to offer in this installment. I find it interesting that they started it like a V/H/S tape, but also it feels kind of like a rip-off.
"M is for Magnetic Tape" Directed/Written by Tim Rutherford & Cody Kennedy and Co-Written by Kevin Martin
Well the opening makes sense when you think about this first segment. It kind of feels like something you would have watched late night in like the 80s. Haha that kind of reminded me of Power Rangers. Well that is certainly creative. I have to admit I was pleasantly amused by this first segment. It's over the top, cheesy, and just plain fun.

"M is for Maieusiophobia" Directed/Written by Christopher Younes
I'm not sure if I will like this one I usually don't like the claymation stories all that much. These just make me so uncomfortable. It just looks so disgusting. It's not scary just awkward. What in the hell? What was that ending?! This entry sucked so bad. Nothing at all enjoyable about it for me.

"M is for Mailbox" Directed/Written by Dante Vescio & Rodrigo Gasparini and Co-Written by Rafael Baliu
Ah it's an Italian short. It kind of feels a little like a good old Giallo. Oh damn that was brutal. That was amazing. This will most likely be my favorite of this entire anthology. It was so clever and had a great twist.

"M is for Make Believe" Directed/Written by Summer Johnson
That looks painful. Oh lord it's always disturbing when kids are involved. Well that's unfortunate. Wait what? Aw man no explanation. Well this was weak. It's definitely messed up though.

"M is for Malnutrition" Directed/Written by Peter Czikrai
Oh we get to start off with a shot of goriness. Ah they manage to put some zombies into the mix. Well damn. That was pretty good. It's straight to the point. The ending was good as well.
8.5/10
"M is for Manure" Directed/Written by Michael Schwartz and Co-Written by Jay Clarke
With a title like this I can imagine this will be pretty gross. Well he is an oddball. That guy is a grade A prick. He got excited?! This kid is one sick dude. I kind of figured that something strange like that might happen. It's definitely different and creative. The looks are their faces pretty much sums it up.

"M is for Marauder" Directed/Written by Steve Daniels
Lol okay that's pretty freaking hilarious. I can't take this seriously at all. That was not a smart move at all. It kind of reminds me of Turbo Kid. All the bloody goodness. Oh I didn't see that coming. That was fairly amusing.

"M is for Mariachi" Directed/Written by Eric Pennycoff
That doesn't seem like a Mariachi set up. Yeah it's definitely not. Okay all these weird face shots of people. Uh oh something just happened. Oh damn that's hardcore. That ending was interesting. I wondered what would happen.

"M is for Marriage" Directed/Written by Todd E. Freeman
What an odd psychiatrist. Whatever he is doing is working though. I don't know what is going on, but it is definitely different. I think I get what happened with the end. The acting here is the best thing about it.
7.4/10
"M is for Martyr" Directed/Written by Jeff Stewart
Uh okay then. I hope this makes some kind of sense. Okay I think I get it. It's definitely an interesting idea. There isn't much to it, but I liked it.
7.8/10
"M is for Matador" Directed by Gigi Saul Guerrero and Written by Shane McKenzie
Ah now we come across someone I am familiar with. Hopefully her story here is as fun as her story in Barbarous Mexico. Oh I can already tell where this is going. It's so messed up! Oh damn that is brutal. Once again I highly enjoy Gigi's work!

"M is for Meat" Directed by Wolfgang Matzl and "Written" by Moana Rom
So now Wolfgang who only did the opening credits for ABC's of Death 2 has his own real segment. Let's see how he does. Oh great it's another claymation. At least it's not disgusting looking. It is however hard to really see given the dark red tint to it. Oh wow that's not what I was expecting at all. It's not bad considering how I feel about claymation.
7/10
"M is for Mermaid" Directed by Ama Lea and Written by Robert G. Phelps
A mermaid in a lake. Well that's definitely unexpected. Oh wow he is just going to kill it wow. Ah the best kind of mermaid. Holy crap that went an entirely different direction than I could have anticipated. Well damn okay. That was an interesting segment for sure.

"M is for Merry Christmas" Directed/Written by Joe & Lloyd Stas
Ah it's another take on Krampus. Yeah I don't get exactly what is going on with the meaning of this one. It's pretty lame. The ending was just awful. It was just boring.

"M is for Mess" Directed/Written by Carlos Faria
Whoa we start off this one with some naughty business. Oh gosh that's just nasty. She was hot too! Eww no! NO NO NO! That ending was just not right!
1/10
"M is for Messiah" Directed by Nicholas Humphries and Written by Bob Woolsey
Those are some strange masks. Oh gosh some of them are naked. Well damn okay then. Okay that would be kind of terrifying to witness. Not sure what happened here though.

"M is for Mind Meld" Directed/Written by BC Glassberg
Yeah that doesn't look like a good sign to me either. Uh what in the hell? Okay well I guess. Okay that reveal made sense a little. It's just really messed up and disturbing.

"M is for Miracle" Directed/Written by Álvaro Núñez
Interesting it doesn't need to say anything for you to get a gist of what is going on there in the beginning. Okay that's weird. Well damn! That was twisted as hell.
8/10
"M is for Mobile" Directed/Written by Barış Erdoğan
It's weird that they aren't asking for pictures of proof. Oh wow whoever is orchestrating this is one crazy son of a gun. Oh my god! Such a simple story that is done quite well.
8.5/10
"M is for Mom" Directed/Written by Carles Torrens
Hmm what is that he is carrying with him? Okay that's odd. It's crazy to see someone from a current kids show in a gory horror film. Well shit! I had no idea which way that was going to go. It definitely messes with your emotions.
9/10
"M is for Moonstruck" Directed/Written by Travis Betz
This is made in a style reminiscent of a pop-up book. That's an odd but unique choice. I am not sure I like this style very much. I also never thought I would see pop-up book style sex or nudity. Well that was all kinds of strange. Not really sure what to think about it.
2/10
"M is for Mormon Missionaries" Directed/Written by Peter Podgursky
Oh man Mormons. Nobody likes them, but when you make them a horror element that's even scarier. Wow that was definitely one of the better segments in this batch. The ending was intense.
10/10
"M is for Mother" Directed/Written by Ryan Bosworth and Co-Written by Jennifer Bosworth
Well looks like we have another mother story in this batch. Oh that's a creative way to put your title in the film. Damn that was really damn short. I would have liked more. It was a fun one! Also the CGI here is actually really decent.
8/10
"M is for Muff" Directed/Written by Mia'Kate Russell
Ah one of those kind of motels that's probably known for it's crazy antics. Uh yeah no I would close the door. That is definitely not what I would want. This is so awkward. It's amusing though. Damn lol! This segment is just funny.
6/10
"M is for Munging" Directed/Written by Jason Koch & Clint Kelly
What is going on? Oh wait a minute now I remember something. People are just sick. Why would anyone want to do something like that. The fact that this is a thing is disturbing.
5/10
"M is for Mutant" Directed/Written by Stuart Simpson
Well that's an interesting way to start a segment. Oh lord that's disturbing. WTF?! It's kind of like Bonnie and Clyde mixed with a demonic Birdemic type situation. Well that segment was a waste of time. It got really stupid as it went.
3.5/10
One thing I really despised about this movie is the VHS style. I thought that was a cheap move considering that series is way better. "M is for Mailbox" is the best of the bunch with "M is for Mormon Missionaries" as a close second. Half of this is shit, but I recommend at least checking those two out. It's definitely a step down from the previous installment. It's not nearly as bad as the first one though. It's fairly tolerable. It averages out to about a 6.3/10 for the content in my opinion, but I am deducting a little for the VHS style it used. I mean let's be reasonable here right?
