Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to get literary and remind ourselves of our aBCs. After a run on the festival circuit, the first, very red band trailer for horror anthology The ABCs Of Death has appeared online.
The premise of the project is simple, as you may recall – twenty six directors with minimal financial resources but full creative freedom were given a letter and the request to construct an on screen death in a manner connected to that letter.
Have a look at the trailer:
