10 Best & 10 Worst Horror Movies Of 2016
The Best
10. Southbound
The recent horror anthology revival has produced some varied results. While we’ve been treated to great anthologies like V/H/S and critically acclaimed cult flick Trick ‘r Treat, there’s also the middling movie that was The ABCs of Death. Luckily, it looks like the horror anthology genre is back on form with its latest offering Southbound.
It reunites many of the folk behind V/H/S including producer Brad Miska, filmmaker Roxanne Benjamin, director David Bruckner and moviemaking trio Radio Silence and features five interwoven vignettes connected by the same lonely stretch of desert highway.
It isn’t quite the graphic gore-fest that was V/H/S but that works to the movie’s advantage with a tone that’s more creepy and Twilight Zone-esque than its predecessor, with clever nods to similarly themed horror movies Carnival of Souls and In the Mouth of Madness.
