Southbound

Summary: Weary travellers confront their worst nightmares — and darkest secrets — over one long night on a desolate stretch of desert highway in this spooky anthology that merges five tales of death and mayhem on the open road. Mitch and Jack are on the run from their past when they turn up, blood-splattered, at a lonely roadside diner an all-girl rock group called Siren must rely on the kindness of strangers when their tour van breaks down at the side of the road a harried business-man is desperate for help from an unusual 911 operator in the aftermath of a car accident a frantic gunman bursts into a bar demanding to know the whereabouts of a girl in a photograph all hell breaks loose when masked men interrupt a family vacation. These interlocking tales of terror and remorse are rooted firmly in the logic of Twilight Zone and EC Comics morality plays, each one winding seamlessly into the next. The result is original, cohesive, and consistently fun — a Möbius strip of ghoulish frights on an endless road.
