Rest Stop (US - DVD R1)
Warner has sent us details on the first in their "Raw Feed" line of DTV horror flicks
Title: Rest Stop (IMDb)
Starring: Jaimie Alexander
Released: 17th October 2006
SRP: $24.98
Further Details:
Warner Home Video has sent over details on the first in their upcoming line of direct-to-DVD horror films, Rest Stop, which will be available just in time for Halloween on the 17th of October. Retail price should be around $24.98 for the disc. Written and directed by John Shiban, executive producer and writer of 'Supernatural' and 'The X-Files,' Rest Stop tells the story of Nicole (Jaimie Alexander) and Jess (Joey Mendicino), who begin a cross-country road trip together from Texas to Hollywood. Their careless, open road adventure comes to a screeching halt as the journey takes a deadly turn at an out-of-the way rest stop. What follows is a dangerous, psychological, cat-and-mouse game where Nicole must fight for survival against a seemingly inhuman stalker. It’s a game to the death, and only one will survive. The film will come in separate R-rated and unrated versions, with extras on the R-rated version including two alternate endings and the Rest Stop Trailer, The unrated disc will add to that by including two exclusive featurettes—‘Scotty’s Home Movies' and 'On the Bus'. It might also be of interest to some of you that purchasing the DVD will entitle you to $10 off a little collection Warner is calling The Exorcist: The Complete Anthology, which I'm sure we'll have further details on sooner rather than later.
Rest Stop is the first in a series of direct-to-DVD releases that Warner has dubbed "Raw Feed". The franchise, produced by Shiban, Tony Krantz (executive producer of '24') and Daniel Myrick (The Blair Witch Project) combines three distinct genres: sci-fi, horror and thriller. Each direct-to-DVD film in the series will boast extensive and innovative extra features and will debut cutting-edge music and talent. Initially two additional films will be released in the "Raw Feed" series, with Sublime (working title) directed by Krantz expected to release in early 2007, and The Believers (working title) beginning production this summer. We've attached our first look at the artwork for both the R-rated and unrated versions below.

I love the artwork! It's great for a DTV movie. I can't wait to check it out.
they were shooting this at hollywood center stages when I was working with the daft punk crew for coachella. saw several actors stumble out saturated in blood, definitely got me interested as to what they were shooting in there. i'll check it out.
Huh. Interesting.
THE ART COVER LOOKS REALLY COOL, I'm GETTING THE UNRATED
I'll give it a spin...love the artwork and the tagline...DEAD AHEAD.
Some of the better horror movies these days are DTV (or at least, the ones that don't go into theaters in America).
Sounds like a great idea. Just hope it lives up to the hype.
I'd rent it.
I'd rent it.
Yeah, sounds good to me too. In this day and age, DTV isn't such a bad thing.
These sound like they won't be your run-of-the-mill DTV movies as the folks behind them have some decent credentials. The thing that interests me the most about this news, however, is the blurb about The Exorcist: The Complete Anthology, which I'm hoping will have some nice extras for the 2nd and 3rd films in the series. Guess we'll find out soon enough...
Yeah I hope this is good and I like the idea of a series of films by different directors and what not. The masters of horror series is great and I'll probably get bashed for saying I liked those so far...
Sounds good! I'll rent it, and I'm sure I'll rent many of their releases.
Well these films are gonna get trashed in the comments section, so i'll go first and say its an interesting idea and there's obviously a market for them. I'll take a look when they come out.
