“Southbound” (*** out of four) was a chilling horror thriller about five interlocking stories following the fates of several travellers on a deserted stretch of desert highway as they are all pursued to the death. No classic and clearly inspired by other horror anthology movies such as “Tales From The Darkside” and “Creepshow” but is more gripping and engrossing than most horror movies over the last year. Second anthology story involving a female band is the best; the fifth one may remind viewers a lot of “The Purge.”
