The outline of the story all the way to the south (spoiler, if you don’t like it, don’t read it), I don’t understand it very well, please help me sort out the connection between the stories

The opening scene is that Mickey and Jack drive to a gas station. They keep going south and want to leave, but they find that they go back to the gas station no matter how they drive, and there are always monsters behind them. Later, Jack is killed by the monster, and Mickey walks to a room. He found that his daughter was killed, and with the shouting, the camera cut directly to the next scene. 3 jazz band girls went out to play and their car broke down and was driven to their house by a kind couple. As a result, two of the girls ate his food and got sick, and the other vegetarian girl didn't eat it. The family is actually A cult organization, the vegan girl escaped after discovering it, but was accidentally hit by Lucas who was driving at night, and then Lucas drove to a "unmanned town", called 911 and followed the phone instructions to completely treat the girl. After he died, Lucas ran away. The camera showed the 911 call. It was actually called by a woman from a phone booth. Then the woman went to a bar to drink, and suddenly a man with a gun was looking for his sister. Old man, someone in the bar took the old man to find his sister and said to take her out of here. After driving for a while, she was dragged away by a group of people. Then the sister drove back again. After returning, she saw a girl in yellow looking at her. Then the girl in yellow came home a while later and broke in three people and killed her parents. These three people are Mickey, Jack and another person in the title. Before the father of the girl in yellow died, Mickey showed him a picture of his daughter. It seems that the father killed his daughter before, so he came to seek revenge. Jack later also killed the girl in yellow, and then several monsters came out of the corpse and kept chasing these three people. One died, and the other two were Mickey and Jack drove away, but found that they had been stuck in one place and kept driving south, but no matter how they drove, they always turned back to the same gas station to receive the title sequence

. I hope someone who understands can explain to me what is hidden in these stories. I don't quite understand the meaning, I always feel that the connection between the stories is a bit far-fetched

    The several stories of this film give people a feeling of seamless connection. After watching it, I deliberately went back and watched the transition in the middle. A simple set of shots turned to another batch of protagonists in the scene. The transitions are all different, and several key concepts form a one-way world. The recent From (2022) drama also uses the same trick. There are several kinds of people in the town, a group of monsters in the bar, a cult family, A tattoo parlor behind a gas station, a flying skeleton monster, these seemingly unrelated elements are all supported by a theme of redemption, but the script does not explain what happened to the daughter of the man wearing the mask. What happened, and he was going to take revenge on the family in Story 5.
