Leave your thoughts about Southbound.
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinFor all its gore and violence, stabs at tension and nightmarish intrigue, the film proves a slow-going, largely unsatisfying ride. |
| TheHorrorShowScott WeinbergA rock-solid horror anthology that boasts numerous nasty surprises. |
| Film School RejectsRob HunterSouthbound, like almost every anthology film ever made, is a mixed bag, but that said there are no absolute stinkers here. |
| SFX MagazineLouise BlainThere's something beautifully sandy and gritty about the majority of Southland's stories. America's highways are a never ending dustbowl of horror, interspersed with sad motels and grim gas stations and the atmosphere is enjoyably unsettling. |
| BuzzFeed NewsAlison WillmoreWhat makes Southbound stand out is how all-round solid it is, its scary segments joined by a setting (driving through the desert) and a theme (guilt). |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfA nifty horror production, showing imagination with surprises and intensity. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.Very flawed, but it works as a fun diversion with potential to live on as a midnight horror picture... |
| Film Journal InternationalEthan AlterWith one notable exception, the quality of this horror anthology mostly heads in one direction: south. |
| Film Comment MagazineNicolas RapoldLoosely centered on a stretch of highway in the American West, this anthology of five horror tales is the rare group effort without a dud, as it cruises through variations on the genre with style and confidence. |
| HeyUGuysDaniel GoodwinSouthbound, is terse, significant work, efficiently felling frights and dread in a manner that may even resound with general audiences as well as genre aficionados. |
