Critics Consensus

Southbound doesn't entirely avoid the jarring shifts common to anthology films, but thanks to some thrilling twists and turns, this horror road movie is a surprisingly smooth ride.

Little White Lies

Abstract and eerily incomplete, Southbound unfolds in a place where Marienbad heads south to the Twilight Zone and Dead End, and where moral failings collide with macabre consequences.

Southbound delivers more than its fair share of pulpy, grisly thrills with its quintet of creepy tales set on a suitably desolate stretch of highway.

4/5

Most anthology films have ups and downs. It's almost inevitable. Southbound is more even and has more connective tissue than most, but it does feature one segment that singlehandedly justifies seeing the whole movie.

Fun and surprisingly engaging. If every horror movie was this polished and well thought out, the world would be a better, spookier place.

A unique and creative gem! Not so much horror per se but a really solid watch.

Twisted and haunting, Southbound is a demented and inventive horror film that has more to say than most anthologies with an interconnected narrative that's truly disturbing.

A strange, gory and nightmarish horror anthology that tries to be open-ended and not answer too many questions, succeeding to a fault.
