    W is for Waste of time
    Idea for the movie was really great, but they missed the whole point of movie. Realization of that idea was in best case awful. 26 different directors must made a skit (ABOUT DYING), everyone for a different letter of alphabet. And everyone of them did it badly. Movie isn't horror, parody, comedy, it is nothing. This is currently my biggest waste of time watching this. I can't describe emotions while watching this movie. It isn't fun or thrilling or even boring. You just watch the movie and think why am I wasting my time on this. I don't know what more to say about this movie. Movie has no point so there is no point watching it.
