"You can't bring me here and expect me to just hate her like you do." FilmRise has debuted the first official trailer for an indie family drama titled Mountain Rest, which is the feature directorial debut of a music video director named Alex O Eaton.

This looks super low budget, but I appreciate that they actually show the aliens in daylight (and not only at night). Might be a cool watch. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster...
