Southbound is a late-night feature anthology film that tries to be a cohesive feature anthology with fantastic themes and horrifying images. But the synth score is misplaced, and the overall presentation doesn't suggest an 80s throwback appeal. In fact, Southbound is more modern than ever, and its themes and premise are both timeless and relatable. We'll explore each aspect of the film in this Southbound movie review.

Story One loops around

The first ten minutes of the Southbound movie are terrifying, but what about the rest? It has one good scare, and then a couple of lazy moments. While three silent men in masked masks attack a family in a motel room, one of them is played by a rubberfaced Clark Gable, who flashes the victim a picture of a young blonde girl. Then the film goes on to spend 120 minutes doing nothing. While it was probably cool to the filmmakers to have the first few stories interconnected, it has no bearing on the story overall.

The final act of the movie loops around the ending of Story One. The paranoid protagonists keep driving away from the infamous Ray's Motel Cafe, but are mysteriously sucked back in. They meet the weird Occult family and hear The Night of the Living Dead while they dine. In the end, the story loops around itself and eventually reaches its climax. After that, the movie becomes a classic horror film.

Mitch stabs his daughter intentionally

In the sequel to the critically acclaimed horror film "Southbound," the father of two stabs his daughter intentionally. Although it's difficult to believe Mitch would kill his daughter intentionally, the movie provides a shocking twist that will leave viewers in splits. This time, however, the movie does not end as tragically as one might imagine. The movie is quite dark, with many disturbing moments, including Mitch's delusions that his daughter will never be alive.

"Southbound" is an anthology film of short stories, with five different scenes and characters. Each story is linked together by a zipper, so that they appear related to each other. But the segments are not really related. One character moves from one scene to the next, but does not need to be identical in order to progress through the third story. This jarring effect is a sign of a poorly constructed story.

Mitch's secret involves a shotgun

In the first half of Southbound, we learn that two men are speeding down the highway when they are attacked by a skeletal demon. Mitch is clutching a crumpled picture of a young girl, and while driving, he glances out the window and sees an ominous figure in the distance. Mitch pulls over to a roadside diner, where he learns that the demon has a shotgun.

The second half of the movie is much more disturbing, with a slew of supernatural creatures. After a brief interlude, the two men are attacked by a man in a mask, and Cait is killed in front of her husband. Jem, however, kills one of the men and then escapes. When the men reach their destination, they come face to face with two mask-wearing figures. The men in the mask reveal themselves to be Mitch and Jack, and the two men fight off the zombies.

The second half of Southbound is the final act. The storyline is a horror anthology set in a purgatory-like realm. Mitch and Jack are chased by masked men across the desert while a slew of demons stands guard, watching them as they pursue them. After a long chase, they end up at a motel, where Jack encounters a terrifying scene.

Jack and Mitch get stuck in a time loop

The plot of Southbound takes place in the early 1960s, as Jack and his girlfriend, Catherine, get trapped in a time loop after they are attacked by an invisible force. They try to get away, but are unable to escape the endless loop. The monster keeps stalking them and they feel guilty for going too far. As the time loop becomes ever longer, the ground opens up and skeletal creatures start floating into the scene. The two escape from the monsters, but not before a maid places a "do not disturb" sign on the door.

The movie has some memorable close-ups and a plot twist. The time loop is set in purgatory, and the characters find themselves stuck in a twisted timeline. The film is a great horror anthology and the actors do a great job of delivering the tension-filled story. However, "Southbound" does not live up to the hype of the previous two films.

A lot of fans of the original Hellraiser series will appreciate this slickly filmed horror film. However, the sequel features a bit more blood and gore. Jack and Mitch get stuck in a time loop, and this time, they have to make it out alive. The movie is filled with horror and is not for the faint-of-heart. Regardless of what you think, this film is one of the most chilling horror movies you can watch in 2018.

Ray's Motel Cafe is having an earthquake

The story revolves around Ray Gaines, a Los Angeles Fire Department Air Rescue helicopter pilot. He's currently going through a divorce from his wife Emma. He and his daughter Blake have been planning a trip to San Francisco. But when the quake hits, Ray is called into work. He has to make a difficult decision between saving his daughter and staying in the city for the weekend.

Jack and Mitch fight off a bearded man with a shotgun

"Southbound" is a collection of short stories set on an isolated stretch of highway that heads south. There is a minor connective thread: the radio commentary of Wolfman Jack, played by Larry Fessenden. Southbound is a neat package. The first story is a standalone one, while the last is interconnected, featuring a similar director.

The film premiered at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival, and was released in theaters on February 5. It was met with a positive response from critics and audiences alike, garnering positive reviews in the New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Rolling Stones, and The Hollywood Reporter. It has an 81 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It also appeared on Buzzfeed, Thrillist, and Rolling Stones lists of the best horror films of 2016.

Sadie's shattered, lifeless, leaking gore

The premise of the southbound movie is that Lucas, a car driver, runs over a girl in the road, and then she shatters into a pool of gore. Although Lucas is driving at the time and attempting to talk to Claire on the phone, he doesn't notice the girl until after she collapses. He calls 911, but can't give the location of the accident. An EMT arrives at the scene and instructs Lucas to drive Sadie to the nearest hospital. But the ambulance is not the first thing that Lucas thinks of doing, and the scene ends with him being hit by a car.

A horror anthology, Southbound is a throwback to 80s movie styles, but it adds a new twist by using a wraparound device that puts the viewers right in the middle of the action. This device is an ingenious solution to a common horror film problem, allowing the audience to jump in and out of scenes as needed. The horror anthology format can be cumbersome at times, but Southbound manages to avoid that problem by seamlessly integrating each story.
