Raka
This was very well-shot, with some creative and beautiful shots. The premise is simple yet interesting, and I didn't expect real world geopolitics to play into it but it makes for some good context.

Suprak
Theres some stuff here I like and some stuff that I dont. The opening shot is pretty good and for a second I was like oh shit they hung Robin Hood! But then it turns out to be an Israeli paratrooper/supermodel. We get another way too long shot of a dudes feet walking up to her which almost felt like they were stalling for time for some reason. I did like the interaction between the two and the back and forth isnt too bad. Im not sure why this two foot drop caused her leg to literally explode. I also feel like guns in the ABCs of Death universe misfire with perfect accuracy if you so much as sneeze on them, so the whole ending was kind of a weird one for me. It was still interesting and well shot for such a simple concept.

Inviso
This one was an interesting story for sure (though its one of the least horror-themed shorts Ive watched thus far). I thought it conveyed emotion rather well, and characterized the two leads strongly in a short amount of time. The ONLY issue I had was that she was stranded liketwo feet off the ground. How the hell do you break your leg THAT quickly?

jcgamer
Interesting spin on a Brer Rabbit-type story with one character trying to outsmart the other

Karo
A downed israeli pilot is captured by an arab youth who is so inept at soldiering that he sets a valuable enemy prisoner free and manages to shoot himself with his own rifle. Should have called it f is for failing.

Plasma
This one started with some clever camerawork. Right off the bat, we see feet hanging beneath a tree branch, and were led to believe someone got hanged. Then the camera pulls back to reveal a parachute caught in the tree. Nice.
Unfortunately it all falls apart from there, as the story turns into a melodramatic back-and-forth between a female Israeli soldier and an Arab boy with a rifle. The woman questions his masculinity in order to convince him to cut her down from the tree. Then her shin snaps in hilarious fashion, and the boy falls out of the tree in even more hilarious fashion. The stunts in this one were disastrous, and they took me out of the story. But, hey, I laughed. C-

TomNook
The concept is fine, but it felt too rushed in short form.

Snake
Its thin - is it supposed to be some kind of Romeo & Juliet thing? I dont care

John
I kinda dug this up until the ending, where it suddenly doesn't understand how either broken legs work or how guns work. The emotional conversation between the two was great leading up
