THE ABC'S OF DEATH 2 [2014]

Without changing the formula of the original film, The ABCs Of Death 2 manages to surpass it's predecessor.
26 new genre directors from all over the world are brought to the table to assault the viewer with 26 new deaths and it is a twisted delight. Each segment mixes it up a bit, some live action, some classically animated, some silent, others done with stop-motion but all of them guaranteed to question your judgement of good taste.  Some are devilishly hilarious, others downright disturbing, many of them quite frightening but all are bat-shit fucking crazy, unfortunately only a small handful of them are genuinely brilliant, making for little replay value.

MI MEFAHED MEZEEV HARA [2013]

aka Big Bad Wolves

Mi Mefahed Mezeev Hara, a ruthlessly brutal Israeli crime drama from writer/directors Aharon Keshales & Navot Papushado is sure to please those fans of Guy Richie and Quentin Tarantino who need a bit more wince-inducing sadism than what they're getting.

As violent and stomach turning as things get in this film it's a wild (and twisted) surprise to find it has a wickedly dark sense humor thrown in to break the heavy tension at all the most unexpected moments.  It's well acted, beautifully shot and wonderfully scored by Frank Ilfman to give it that extra dramatic flair.  

It walks a thin line between torture porn and good crime drama but that's what kept me watching until the end.
