SOUTHBOUND: World Premiere Video Interviews Roxanne Benjamin, Patrick Horvath & Brad Miska

Southbound world premiered last night. Robert A. Mitchell took a wrong turn on the highway and wound up a desolate stretch of lonesome two-lane blacktop. All was not lost as he spoke with some of the creators of the film. Roxanne Benjamin, Patrick Horvath and Brad Miska.

Pics from the World Premiere of SOUTHBOUND!

The precise shade of bluish-grey of the circles under my eyes tells me we're seven days into Midnight Madness, and with that came the world premiere of the anthology horror road movie, Southbound! Ian Goring was there to capture this gargantuan cast and crew as they walked the red carpet.

Conga, conga, conga! With

I think that over the course of these seven days, we've shown that the laws of physics do not apply to the Midnight Madness red carpet. Composer James Bairian obviously agrees.

Hey it's that guy! Matt Peters!

The sisters of Southbound are doing it for themselves!

Like most of us, Matt Peters and Davey Johnson enjoy a good reacharound.

There were so many people involved with Southbound that Colin Geddes had to enlist Peter Kuplowsky to wrangle them.

Did you know? If you put the cast and crew of Southbound end-to-end and lined them up along the equator, they would probably be very upset and stab you several times?

Take a Ride With SOUTHBOUND!

One of the best things about Midnight Madness, and TIFF in general, is that you often get to see a cut of a film, or a film itself, that is off everyone’s radar.  That’s the case with Southbound, the new film from the creators of V/H/S.  I don’t have a trailer, a poster, or much of anything besides a couple of screenshots to convince you that this is going to be one wild ride, but I like to think that you and I have something of a rapport, Midnight Madness fan, and I wouldn’t lie to you would I?

A creepy hallway! This is one of the only images we have from Southbound.  

Anyway, we do have a few scant details about Southbound which should convince you to come on this gnarly road trip with us.  We know that, like V/H/S, this is an anthology piece and all the segments of the film take place on a dusty stretch of highway. We also know that here’s an intriguing slate of directors on board. Here’s the rundown:

The lovely leading lady from Bruckner's Amateur Night

David Bruckner - Though he wrote and directed the chilling "Amateur Night" for the first V/H/S anthology, a lot more people have learned Bruckner’s name since he’s been tapped to direct a new installment of Friday The 13th.  There’s also the feature-length version of "Amateur Night" called Siren which should see release next year. If there are horror director’s rookie cards, I’d hold onto my mint-condition Bruckners.

Roxanne Benjamin is a producer on the creepy cult movie, Faults

Roxanne Benjamin - Benjamin is making her directorial debut here, but has been a producer on V/H/S, Midnight Madness 2015 feature Devil’s Candy, and on Faults, one of my favourite films from last year. Her entry into this anthology is a complete unknown, but if you’re watching an anthology horror, or a Midnight Madness movie in general, and aren’t expecting to be surprised, you’re doing it wrong, friends.

Patrick Horvath - If 2012’s harrowing Entrance didn’t convince you that Patrick Horvath is the real deal, his sequel to The Pact from last year should have. Also under Horvath’s belt is one of the only films, horror or otherwise, whose title alone has made me spray beer out of my nose. Horvath is also a hilarious, awesome illustrator who often tweets out his creations.

Radio Silence's bizarre pregnancy horror

Radio Silence - The directors of the "10-31-08" segment in V/H/S as well as last year’s haunting pregnancy horror Devil’s Due are back with...Well, we don’t really know what they’re back with. Like I said, details are scant, but you’re not going to want to miss whatever they’ve come up with this time around.

Not gonna lie, I don't see this road trip ending well.

With the talent at the helm of Southbound, there’s all the makings of a solid anthology that, like this post, will keep the Midnight Madness crowd guessing at every turn!
