Review of Rest Stop

Rest Stop (2006 Video)
7/10
no rest at that stop
7 October 2006
Rest Stop hits home for me. I've made many trips through the country and used rest stops frequently, even sleeping in them. Always felt a little creepy when everyone else left and you're the only one there. This film was about a young couple traveling from Texas to California who take a wrong turn (of course) and are attacked by a weirdo driving a pickup. They go to a small remote rest stop so the girl can pee and the boyfriend along with the car disappear leaving the girl to fend for herself. As the story progresses you learn that the pickup driver is a killer that taunts and tortures people for fun. It moves along at a pretty good pace and there's lots of suspense as the lone girl tries to outwit the killer. Some of the clues are just too convenient and it leaves you wondering of it is all some kind of surreal dream or flashback. There are some ghosts and other strange characters that show up, but the film is relatively well made.
