Southbound

No matter which road you choose, it's all going south.

5.9(729)20151h 29m5

On a desolate stretch of desert highway, weary travelers — two men on the run from their past, a band on their way to the next gig, a man struggling to get home, a brother in search of his long-lost sister and a family on vacation — are forced to confront their worst fears and darkest secrets in these interwoven tales of terror and remorse on the open road.

    If you are looking for a good thriller, with minimal special effects that calls upon the skills of the filmmaker and cast to make you feel the moment, this is a must see. Southbound, created by the independent group radio silence take the genres of thriller and horror to a new level, intertwining five stories that will have you turning on the lights and questioning the sanity of the cast. All five sequences take plac…

    Modern Day Southern Gothic Highway-Based is a very specific theme for a Horror Anthology to tackle, and while none of the segments are bad, none of them stand out as particularly good either. _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._

    **The neverending tale(s)!** Five tales, written and directed by four directors. It was a horror anthology that takes place in just one day and night. Firstly, this film was not bad as it looks.

Especially one character from each ta…

This one plays out fairly well with excellent pacing and some very creepy stuff ...especially the creatures. I have no idea what these reaper-like things are supposed to represent but they were very cool! Fitting quite snuggly somewh…

    I generally do not like anthology-movies, as some stories are always so much weaker than others, and even where they interweave or overlap they lack a narrative thread. This movie was a lot better in that regard, with no 'weak' story among them. They are all unsettling and weird, and not necessarily in the same way, which gives you more a sense of these being in the same world than they being just scary stories stack…
