Movie Info

The Hollywood dreams of two runaway lovers are suddenly transformed into living nightmares when a momentary pause at an abandoned roadside rest stop turns into a struggle for survival against a predator who sadism knows no boundaries in this tense nail-biter from X-Files writer and executive producer John Shiban. The west coast was a long way off, and when Jess and Nichole decided to stretch their legs at a deserted rest stop they could never have anticipated the terror that awaited them. Now

Though certainly a cut above the majority of its straight-to-video horror brethren, Rest Stop is ultimately undone by the inclusion of several questionable elements...

Totally derivative and without any particular surprises, [but] still a skillful exercise.

...another of those films where we just wish the madman would dispatch the leading lady as quickly as possible and be done with it, putting her and us out our misery.

This is a flat horror effort that ranges from dull to unintentionally hilarious to, finally, tiresome.

Audience Reviews for Rest Stop

Rest Stop has gotten a lot of flack and I can see why. However the film is not the worst horror film that I've seen. The film is a borderline decent horror film with a cool concept. Of course the film is not the best, but it's not the worst either. The acting is so-so but what makes this film worth seeing is the villain. I thought the pickup driver was a good enough villain and really in the current climate of horror, Rest Stop is definitely not the worst film. The film is original, and pretty intense. But at times I'll admit that there was a few parts that were cheesy and could have been better. Rest Stop is nothing truly great, but it's still entertaining enough to keep one interested. The film is not that bad, there is worst horror films out there. Rest Stop is a blood soaked film with enough juicy bits the thrills horror fans. But before watching this, go in with moderate expectations and you may not be disappointed. An entertaining but flawed film, Rest Stop is a decent horrifying ride that has a good concept, but you can clearly see it's limitations on screen. I'd say that this film is good for what it is, and thats a B movie with decent scares. The villain, like I said, made up for it's minimilastic script and mediocre acting from the main actress. For it's flaws, this film is a pretty decent effort, even id it's nothing too spectacular.

This film makes no sense.

I'll give it one star for the sniffing, because that was seriously creepy.
