Truly Dreadful Film

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Interesting art piece if you like anthology types of horror. The director makes a point to give you the ability to interpet this movie the way you want, and delivers it with a sort of "Fellini meets Freddies Nightmares" attitude. If you need explanations to justify your viewing experiences, this probably isn't the type for you. He takes you on and interesting journey that ends as it begins with decent actors and a professional delivery. I'm certain and hopeful to see more from this director.

Im a sucker for short horror stories and southbound has 5 of them. Long story short, the stories dont make sense and have little to no connection. There is no context, what you see is what you get. I thought the second story with the driver was really really good and i would love to see a full movie of this, the other stories were meh to ok at best. Without the second story i would have rated this 4 stars.

SOUTHBOUND is a solid little horror anthology consisting of five interlocking tales about travellers encountering monstrous nastiness deep in the desert. I found it much better than expected; a B-movie for sure, but one which delivers plenty of bodily fluids and slime for the gore fans, as well as some creepy scenarios and a budget that does justice to the sometimes imaginative set-ups. The opening sequence is particularly creepy, with the sight of those winged skeletal things enough to send shivers down the spine; if anything, the subsequent tales get darker and darker until they reach a pitch-black level.

This movie was a pleasant surprise. There are 5 different tales of death, and the writers tried to leave back stories out and connect each story to the next. What they did though was not connect the stories rather, lead to the other with perhaps one character from the end of one tale to start the next tale. There were not many jump out of your seat scary parts so these are just good throwback stories with a bit of suspense to them. I think the writers would have done better to give some of the character back stories, and perhaps give them a chance. I would have liked it better if more of their struggle to survive was shown, rather than, you're marked for death so you die. Also the mysterious ways they die and reason they are marked leaves much to the imagination, good or bad.
