Southbound (2016)
Excellent anthology horror film in the vein of Trick r' Treat (2007) in which five different stories taking place in the American desert become interlinked with characters and situations bleeding into one another along the way.
As with all anthology films not every segment is 100% successful especially seeing as they are by five different directors so the tone does occasionally shift. The five tall tales themselves ranged from the okay -
Siren - to the superb -
The Accident - twenty minutes of unbelievably tense, knuckle whitening horror with a beautifully gory conclusion. In fact it was probably the best slice of new horror i've seen in as long as i can remember.
Definitely one to watch multiple times as i'm sure there was so much i missed or didn't register with me at the time especially in the first couple of stories.
½ / 5 (5/5 for
The Accident)
