“Rest Stop Don’t Look Back” Available Uncut On DVD October 7 From Warner Home Video
(June 9, 2008 – Burbank, CA) – Just in time for the Halloween season, the “Winnebago Family” and the “Yellow Truck” return for more havoc and horror when “Rest Stop Don’t Look Back” debuts uncut on DVD October 7 from Warner Home Video (WHV) and will be available for $24.98 SRP.
Written and produced by John Shiban (“Rest Stop,” executive producer and writer of “Supernatural” and “The X-Files”) and directed by Shawn Papazian (“Horror High”), “Rest Stop Don’t Look Back” is WHV’s fifth acquired title from the successful “Raw Feed” film franchise, and the sequel to the franchise's first film, “Rest Stop.” Even bloodier and more gruesome than the original, “Rest Stop Don’t Look Back” stars Richard Tillman (“Over Her Dead Body”), Jessie Ward (“CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”), Graham Norris (“The Jane Austen Book Club,” “The Black Dahlia”), Brionne Davis (“Pandemic”) and Golden Globe® nominee Steve Railsback (“Helter Skelter”). Tony Krantz (“OTIS,” “Mulholland Drive,” “Sublime,” “24”) and Daniel Myrick (“Believers,” “The Blair Witch Project”) are also producers.
“'Rest Stop’ was a simple story that took something commonplace and made it a truly terrifying experience,” said writer/producer John Shiban. “With ‘Rest Stop Don’t Look Back,’ we’ve heightened the situations and the terror factor to take the whole experience to another level of horror.”
“The first ‘Rest Stop’ was a winning launch for the ‘Raw Feed’ brand and very lucrative for Warner Home Video,” said Jeff Baker, WHV Executive VP and General Manager for Theatrical Catalog. “The sequel, by upping the horror factor and completing the mythology established in the first film, should prove even more successful with fans of the genre.”
Synopsis
No rest for the wicked! One year ago, the mysterious Rest Stop killer drilled, ripped and splattered young road trippers Jesse and Nicole. Now three more unsuspecting travelers come looking for the missing duo. And that means the killer gets to sharpen his horrific torture skills all over again – only bloodier and scarier than before. He’s not alone, either. The Winnebago full of creepy living corpses is also back, roaming the old highway. And Jesse and Nicole’s brutalized ghosts seek revenge, determined to give as gory as they got. Watch if you dare. But whatever you do, Don’t Look Back!
