Southbound

Full disclosure: Brad produced this film.

The anthology surreal horror film Southbound, which was recently purchased by The Orchard, will be getting a limited theatrical run on February 5th, 2016 before heading to VOD just a few days later on February 9th. The movie includes segments directed by Roxanne Benjamin, David Bruckner, Patrick Horvath and Radio Silence, several of whom were involved in the V/H/S films.

In Southbound, “Five intertwining tales of terror unfold along an endless desert highway. On a desolate stretch of road, 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.

“When we saw Southbound, we knew we were looking into the eyes of a much different animal,” said Paul Davidson, SVP of Film & TV at The Orchard. “Southbound is a slick and stylish film that will have audiences engrossed from the moment the engines kick into gear and we can’t wait to invite them to take that journey.”

The film is being compared to “The Twilight Zone” and “The Outer Limits” while also drawing similarities to EC Comics morality plays.

As of yet, there is no trailer but there are a few images that you can see below.
