Rating:
Another 26 death scenes. I put this version of this slightly better than the first one. The only reason I say that is because the overall quality of the segments is better. The 26 different short films ranges from creepy, to bizarre, to animated, to strange, with a whole lot in between. Once again most of them are not memorable thought. Nothing that says tell your friends about this incredible segment.
Overall it was somewhat better than the first one but not so much better that I thought it was all that good. The over all quality was better and the number of segments that were at least entertaining was high. It still had some segments that were so bizarre they were not even entertaining. The short of it is that it is better but that still does not make it great.
