I have not seen “The ABCs of
Death”, an anthology style horror flick that was released this spring that
compiled 26 short films with each focusing on a letter of the alphabet.
Apparently, its producers are already compiling the second ABCs film which will
feature another 26 horror shorts shot by 26 new directors, including one to be
chosen through a contest on the website. A friend of a friend has submitted one
for the competition entitled “M is for Messiah”.
His is a funny take on the
second coming of Jesus. Of course, we all know the second coming isn’t about
Jesus dying for our sins again. This time the J man brings some death and
destruction of his own, hence its qualification as a horror film. It is
lighthearted though, and produces more than a couple laughs over its brief two
and half minute running time. I particularly liked how there was a popping sound
every time Jesus performed some sort of paranormal act. It’s a sound much like
that produced when you stick your finger in your mouth and pop it out to the
side. Nice touch.

Hey, thanks for the kind words! Glad you dug it, we had a lo of fun making it!
Just a bit of shameless promotion, if readers who enjoy the flick could go to the site and click the "Like" button above the video player (Not the vimeo "like" button, but the facebook-y one) that's how they tabulate votes for the contest! And then share the link with their friends and family (and enemies) that would be great! It's the kind of infectious that's good to spread!
Thanks again!
No problem. I did find it difficult to figure out how to vote, so thanks for clarifying that for the readers. Pop!
