What happens

Devil's Mile is a 2014 Canadian horror film and the feature film directorial debut of Joseph O'Brien, who also wrote the script (developed in collaboration with producer Mark Opausky) and created the film's visual effects. The film premiered at the Fantasia Film Festival on July 26, 2014, and was released on DVD and VOD on August 12, 2014. The film arrived on AMC's premiere horror streaming service Shudder on May 11, 2020. It stars Casey Hudecki, Maria del Mar and David Hayter as a team of kidnappers who find themselves lost on a sinister stretch of highway where the laws of not only time and space, but life and death, no longer apply. O'Brien cast the film with a mixture of newcomers and faces familiar to genre audiences. He re-united with Maria del Mar, having first worked with her on the Sci-Fi Channel miniseries Robocop: Prime Directives, which he co-wrote. The physically demanding lead role of Jacinta was written specifically for Casey Hudecki, whose background as a stage actor and stunt performer made her ideal for the part. O'Brien was already a fan of David Hayter's work as both a writer and actor, and was delighted when he agreed to join the cast as the villainous Toby after reading the script.
