Southbound

Generally, horror films that market themselves as intersecting anthologies are anything but, or the individual elements are so uneven in quality that the film suffers. I was pleasantly surprised by this movie, which, in fact, had five stories that actually all intersected in ways that made sense. I was also pleased that each of the stories were relatively solid with interesting plots. Given that each short was less than twenty minutes long, there were a lot of holes in plots and characters, but that's to be expected with films like this. The lack of budget was apparent, but I ended up rather enjoying this film. If you like weird horror, you might like this odd but enjoyable film. 3.5/5
