10 Best Road Trip Horror Movies

What's better than one solid road trip story? Five killer road trip stories!

Anthology horror movies have always held a great place in viewers' hearts. They give directors a massive chance to dip their toes in different narratives and styles, which makes them incredibly varied and worthwhile experiences. Southbound is a great example of this, as the five interlocking segments all play to the idea of dark secrets across a long-stretched desert highway.

The movie tells five distinct, but interconnected stories. Each one spins the tale of guilty people, eventually suffering karmic justice, as a collection of terrifying floating figures watch on. The stories range from demonically infested towns to realistic home invasions, but the core theme of secrecy and regret remains consistent.

Southbound approaches the narratives in a different way from typical anthologies. Each of the segments interact, making the stories feel like they are playing out at the same time. This gives the film a sense of cohesiveness that makes the highway itself seem like a demonic presence that ensnares people to confront their deepest secrets.

It all concludes in a stylish and dramatic sequence that brings everything you've seen thus far into perspective, and provides you with a satisfying payoff.
