Next we'll be checking out Southbound, an indie-horror anthology directed (and produced) by Radio Silence. For those of you keeping track, Radio Silence is responsible for one of our favorite V/H/S segments, 10/31/98, and we've been pretty excited to see what else they've been up to (haven't gotten around to checking out Devil's Due yet...). We're excited to watch & discuss this one!
