Anton Bitel Little White Lies 08/08/2016
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. Go to Full Review
Jason Anderson Toronto Star 03/07/2016
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Gabriel T @GabrielFagundes Jun 7 It's simply amazing. No words to describe it See more Max W May 2 Those floating demons are real creeps See more Darr W 10/13/2024 Fun and surprisingly engaging. If every horror movie was this polished and well thought out, the world would be a better, spookier place. See more Juan T 10/13/2024 A unique and creative gem! Not so much horror per se but a really solid watch. See more Korra N 10/04/2024 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. See more Andy B 12/02/2023 A strange, gory and nightmarish horror anthology that tries to be open-ended and not answer too many questions, succeeding to a fault. See more Read all reviews
