Austin Chronicle
This is basically a Whitman’s Sampler of poor taste, and a tastier one at that. - 75
The A.V. Club
Omnibus features are by their nature uneven, so it’s to the benefit of the ABCs Of Death series that the creative constraints (26 short horror films, each one pegged to a specific letter of the alphabet) encourage brevity. - 70
Village Voice
Overall, it's a strong sampler, with surprising variety. - 63
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
That miss-or-hit collection of horror shorts, “The ABCs of Death” becomes more hit or miss with its sequel, ABCs of Death 2. - 63
RogerEbert.com
This ABCs of Death is, either as a result of a surfeit of artistic freedom or just my own narrower-than-the-producers’ strictures of taste, as much of a hit-and-miss affair as the first, which came out in 2012. - 50
Slant Magazine
Irony is a popular pose struck throughout these shorts, which are less revealing of the existentialist despair that death often rouses than they are of their makers' prejudices. - 40
The Dissolve
The shorts in The ABCs Of Death 2 are wholly forgettable, and leave the limits of the gimmicky conceit completely exposed. - 40
Variety
Far too many of the shorts prove instantly forgettable.
