THE
LOWDOWN
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.

Written
and directed by John Shiban,
executive producer and writer of
“Supernatural” and “The
X-Files Rest Stop is the
chilling first film in the
“Raw Feed” direct to dvd
branded series from Warner Home
Video.
THE
VERDICT
A
genuinely terrifying little
number that belies its TV movie
origins (the movie was broadcast
on the SciFi channel in a cut
version at the beginning of
October) and manages to put a
new spin on the road trip
formula. There are also enough
twists and turns to keep you on
the edge of your seat the whole
movie through. The cast, apart
from former TV star Joey
Lawrence, were all pretty new to
me but Jaimie Alexander as
Nicole did well with her Jamie
Lee Curtis heroine in peril
role.

Director
Shiban clearly has his finger on the horror pulse and we shall look
forward with interest to the next project in the Raw Feed
series.
THE
EXTRAS
Shiban
shot a number of alternate endings to the movie and three extra ones are
included here; Also included are Scotty's
Home Movies: a unique family album from one of the oddest characters in
Rest Stop; On The Bus: a view of the activities that happen on the old
yellow bus and the theatrical Trailer. |
