Southbound

2015 · 89 min

A grim, disorienting road trip through interconnected nightmares, where guilt and dread linger long after each segment ends.

Tagline: No matter which road you choose, it's all going south.
Overview: On a desolate stretch of desert highway, weary travelers — two men on the run from their past, a band on their way to the next gig, a man struggling to get home, a brother in search of his long-lost sister and a family on vacation — are forced to confront their worst fears and darkest secrets in these interwoven tales of terror and remorse on the open road.
How it feels: Dark, eerie, tense and bleak. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Guilt, redemption, fate, survival
Content: Strong violence, gore and language. Mild sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
