Rest Stop: Don't Look Back (2008)
NOT better, NOT worse, DEFINITELY bad
I'm actually surprised Part 2 of Rest Stop has more "positive" reviews than Part 1. In a way, I know what they mean, u can tell their budget was slightly bigger, and they extended they torture scenes to make up for the awful plot/script/acting.
I watched Part 1 a couple of hours before I watched part 2 and I did it prepared, as I had 0 (zero) expectations and I did myself a great favor by not expecting anything from part 2. The only good thing I will say about this movie is the eye candy in the form of Jared the redhead. Yes he's a goof and not "hot" by today's standards, but u wouldn't know that unless u saw him (unfortunately?) strip to his underwear under those (unfortunate?) circumstances his character had to be put in. I swear that was my "favorite" part of the movie. Sure, u can expect eye candy from the helpless damsel in distress but I wasn't there for all that haha. If ur so bored u want to willingly endure a BAD movie, by definition, do watch Rest Stop: Don't Look Back.
I will add that I am puzzled that there was a sequel to Rest Stop. The first one had to have been a success in order for them to make a second. I just don't get it. They thought that "explaining", in Part 2, why things were they way they were in Part 1 would make this movie watchable. It doesn't end it was basically unnecessary. U have to be some kind of masochist to endure Part 2, when it should have all ended with Part 1. Such an awful movie. Good Luck!
Rest Stop (2006)
It's as bad as we all say it is...
This is my first IMDBtv review EVER and I registered for the purpose of letting others know about how awful Rest Stop is. Even the, allegedly, Uncut version of it will upset u, in a bad way, not in a "woah this movie is really scary" way. No. NEVER. I don't have a fancy review to write. U can read the others where people have, rightfully, a lot of negative things to say about this movie. It doesn't matter that the movie may or may not be a slasher film or ur typical serial killer who torments his victims or whatever. U can try and put this movie in any category u wish, heck, comedy, ironically, may be its most accurate genre, and Rest Stop will suck no matter what or from what angle u try and dissect it.
The only good thing I will ever say about it is that the Movie Poster was great and alluring. I actually like the Unrated version of the movie poster better as it makes u curious just how "creative" the bad guy in the movie is going to get with his victims. From the movie poster alone, when ur done watching (IF U DARE!!!) this movie, u will end up saying to urself "It had sooooo much potential, but it FAILED miserably". A movie that got it right, even for some cheap scares and ur "typical" extreme gore and violence is The Hills Have Eyes (2006). Those guys even nailed it with the promotional poster for the movie in its rated R and Unrated versions. It's like, if that movie poster doesn't warn u what the movie is all about u went to the wrong movie haha. Anyway, long story short, u are better off just watching any of the classics (Halloween, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Child's Play, Saw, Hostel, etc) OR u are guaranteed to feel like u want ur life back when u watch the movie until the end. I was actually giggling and laughing at how terrible this "movie" was. Because of this movie, I seemed to have developed a unique taste for movies that suck so bad, I'm going to go ahead and start Part 2 now. At least any good expectations i may have of Rest Stop: Don't Look Back are nonexistent, so I'm prepared. Bring it on!
Don't say nobody warned u about this movie LoL!
