A unique artistic film. Welcome to Hell!

Southbound is unlike most Horror films, belonging to a sub-genre I would define as "intertwined". 5 different stories leading to and deriving from each other: Two friends on trying to get home, a girl band trying to get to their next gig, a man trying to go home to his loving wife, a brother trying to rescue his sister, and a family on vacation before their daughter goes to college. Sufficing to say nothing ends well.

The common ground for the tales is the actual ground, as they all seem to be taking place at the same location, referred to as "the middle of nowhere" and giving a strong sensation of Hell itself. Also, all the characters seem to be tuned in to the same radio station, where the DJ hints of his awareness to their sins and struggles. In each story, the protagonists (if you can call them that) have secrets in an escalating level of severity, and I guess the moral is that Karma always catches up to you.

Seeing as how each story is around 17 minutes in average, it's quite challenging for me to rate the film as a whole. The screen writing is by far the best feature, as the stories leave you confused, wondering, desperate and lost. Some fine shooting and cinematography as well, especially during the beginning of The Accident part (great work from directors and screenwriters Roxanne Benjamin, David Bruckner and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin). The acting is also good, but the each of the cast is given little screen time, so it's hard to say anything more. I will say that all the cast is largely unknown, and still showed a lot of promise.

All in all, Southbound would appeal to fans of more "artistic" Horror films. It's unusual and quite unique, leaving the audience with an uneasy sense of bewilderment. While not my preferable sub- genre, I was very impressed with it and enjoyed it to the last second.

Getting down (south)

There are a couple of short stories and they all go down. Geographically speaking that is. Although as you can imagine with horror shorts, the pun is intended in this case. And the stories are all kind of working. You have to like the genre to really appreciate it of course. If you're not into it, than it would be a waste of time. No matter how short some of the stories are (if you're not watching the whole thing, but would like to skip to the stories you like that is).

Horror Anthologies are not easy, or as accessible to most people. The common thread may be lacking or your not into some of the themes or stories told. And also the quality varies most of the time, which is true for every anthology. Still this has enough blood and tension to entertain you and keep you satisfied

Couldn't stop watching

I was happily surprised that this movie was very watchable and reminded me of my old pulp horror comics. Another reviewer was right when he compared it to Tales from the Crypt, so if you like that style of show this will be right up your alley.

The stories are all intertwined one way or another which made me enjoy it even more. Was it great? No, but it was damned good for what it was.
