``Rest Stop'' -- The First Film in the Direct-to-DVD ``Raw Feed'' Series, Written and Directed by John Shiban, Starring Jaimie Alexander, Joey Mendicino and Joey Lawrence and Featuring Hot New Music from The Black Keys, Available on DVD October 17.

BURBANK, Calif. -- Driving cross-country will never be the same when the chilling first film in the "Raw Feed" branded series from Warner Home Video (WHV), "REST STOP," explodes onto DVD October 17. Written and directed by John Shiban, executive producer and writer of "Supernatural" and "The X-Files," "REST STOP" follows a young couple terrorized by a psychotic killer on a cross-country road trip. Starring one of Penthouse Magazine's "20-Most Beautiful Actresses," Jaimie Alexander, and heartthrob Joey Mendicino (MTV's "That 70's House"), "REST STOP" will be released for the Halloween season in rated and unrated versions.

The "Raw Feed" series marks WHV's initial venture into the burgeoning live-action, made-for-DVD market. The edgy and unique 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.

Synopsis

Nicole (Jaimie Alexander) and Jess (Joey Mendicino) 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.
