We have seen good and bad horror films in the past few years (mostly bad), but Southbound is something else entirely. It follows five different stories that are sprawling and intertwined, including two criminals trying to get back home, a girl band staying at an eccentric couple’s home, a man trying to get home to his wife, a brother desperately trying to save his sister, and a family vacation that ends in bloodshed. In all of these stories, nothing ends well, and the common ground for these tales of horror is the actual ground itself and the fact that all are apparently set in one location. Referred to as “the middle of nowhere”, this location is used almost as an unlikely projection of Hell itself, with demons and floating skeletal creatures looming and watching over the characters, monitoring their every movement, and having dramatic effects
