As I sit here tonight having finished my homework earlier in
the evening, I decided to get back to the reviews. I know that the majority of
my selections lately have drifted toward Sci-Fi; my next selection is nowhere
near that genre. Next up for review is the 2015 horror anthology, Southbound.
Plot/ Five interlocking tales of terror follow the fates of
a group of weary travelers who confront their worst nightmares and darkest
secrets, over one long night on a desolate stretch of desert highway.
Horror anthologies are often fun reminders of my earliest
memories of the genre back in the late 1970s and early 1980s. This anthology
movie is definitely one of the better ones that I have seen in some time. While
Southbound is not perfect, it does offer some solid storylines, decent
characterization with believable performances, and a tightly written script
that does a great job at crafting a coherent horror film. Yes, the effects do
vary in quality and there are a few uneven scenes, but that does very little to
bring the movie down. In the end, this is one of the better horror flicks that
I have watched in some time and a pleasant surprise. If you have not seen it,
do yourself a favor and check it out!
