Movie Reviews of Rest Stop (Unrated Edition)
Movie Review: Rest stop: bad rep good movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I dont know. Reading through a lot of reviews these days, one gets the feeling that a lot of people seem to enjoy rubishing films just for the sake of it. Well i dont. I dont wright reviews on films that i dont like, to many people are doing that already. Rest stop is a film that i did like, yes its not perfect, but i have yet too see many films that are, but this film will appeal to true horror fans, not for its original plot nor for its great acting (though the acting isnt bad at all), but for the fact that it pushes the horror level a few notches up, from the boring teeny horror that never stops coming in the wake of scream. Where i live in australia there are no more drive ins left due to to large companies buying them out and trying to play major studio films on them. As a result the direct to dvd film has replaced the drive in so i see these films in a difrent way, i see them as the modern drive in flick. Look through films that came out in the 60s, 70, 80s, and played at the drive ins, blood fest, evil dead, zombie, etc. see how fondly they are remembered today. In time people will be going back to films like Rest stop and releasing them as long lost classic horror. I can say that i saw evil dead at the drive ins in 1982 and cheered it as a horror classic will you be able to say,in 25 years from now. I saw Rest stop when it was first released on dvd, and recognised it as a future horror classic, judging from peoples comments here i dout it. anyway if you are a true horror fan dont be put off, give this film a go its a lot better then they say
Summary of Rest Stop (Unrated Edition)
No Description Available.Genre: Horror
Rating: UN
Release Date: 4-SEP-2007
Media Type: DVD
Considering that Rest Stop comes courtesy director John Shiban, an X-Files and Star Trek staff writer, one would expect this horror film to contain a kernel of originality, but unfortunately it is a poor conflation of Wolf Creek, Joyride, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre, among others. Nicole Carrow (Jaimie Alexander) and Jess Hilts (Joey Mendocino) are young, hopeful actors taking a road trip to Hollywood, though neither reaches their final destination. A psychotic pick-up truck driver dominates the rest stop they pull off at, often maiming his victims by hitting them with his truck, then dragging them off onto a school bus where he tortures them with drills, pincers, saws, branding irons, knives, and other tools. Jess disappears early in the film, leaving Nicole to fend for herself, often by locking herself in the dingy rest stop restroom, or by running to avoid being hit by the truck. After her attempt to call a sheriff ends in the sheriff's death, Nicole's prospects for survival dim. Graphic scenes are indeed horribly disgusting, but the torture methods are so clichéd that one wishes for more psychology behind the killer's methods to actually scare. A random scene in which Nicole hitches a ride in a motorhome with some Bible-thumping freaks further pushes the film into clichéd territory. Since Rest Stop fails to fully develop the killer or the victims' characters, it is difficult to empathize with them. Even Nicole, rendered powerless from the outset, lacks the personality to entertain through this full-length feature in which so little happens besides hunt-kill, hunt-kill. --Trinie Dalton
