Southbound

Southbound - in which four or five horror vignettes brush elbows in a circular fashion, and most of them succeed. One is the story of some guys who are out committing revenge, but they can't escape the alien monster ghosts of the ones they've revenged. Another story is about some girls in a band who have a breakdown on the same road, who end up trusting the wrong helpful motorists and get tricked into joining a cult. One girl makes it out and gets hit by a car, leading to the best segment, where we follow the guy who hit her into an abandoned hospital, carrying her dying body, trying to save her in crude surgery, following commands of some weirdos on the phone. He gets his whole goddamn arm up into her thorax and it's awesome. Then he gets released, and the story switches to a guy trying to "save" his sister from a town of magic wielding freaks, but it is a fruitless pursuit. Full circle to the murder-ees from the first story. 9/10

Like, she has no sense of boundaries, and it seems like no one has ever told her "no," in her whole, beautiful life. So, Wesley, from The Princess Bride, I mean, Cary Elwes, is friendly and charming to her, and obviously flattered by the attention of a young woman. Oh, she's 14. Yeah. So, she gets obsessed with him, and he encourages this friendship by talking to her, inviting her in, spending time with her, and taking her suggestions, like...
