Rest Stop (R-Rated Edition) Review
For the money this horror fan, Rest Stop is a gritty, bloody thrill ride is well worth seeing. Yes, the story has a problem, but I really do not understand all the vitriol in this direction juicy little film. You have a killer who has honed his craft in such dimensions as the exquisite Rest Stop Killer of respect, this guy has to enjoy physical and mental torture for a freaking science, every minute heroin prolonged torture. He leaves the scene over and over again in all,confident that his prey is under his complete control in every absence. While helping the fact that our heroine poor fool is not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I give great praise to our bad. I do not think I've ever been a murderess, as coined by taste, but this guy is in abundance. I do not care how unoriginal and sometimes stereotypical, the film was, I liked everything. However, critics have some valid points. The addition of a specificFamily history was a painful decision evil that exits as shameless pandering, while some elements potentially misleading denounced the action as a serious plot holes by some - although I believe that their inclusion and the lack of a final declaration includes the real effective depth to the story. Those who pack their horror movie, everything does not end with Scooby Doo, as expected, but I see no reason why not leave a horror movie, you can speculate about someunanswered questions.
The basic story is pretty simple. Young Nicole Carrow (Jaimie Alexander) runs in California with her boyfriend Jess (Joey Mendicino) - but have never done. At one point on the road, the need for Nicole to their needs both lands parked ugliest and most remote parts of the world. Showing great courage, Nicole can actually do their internal affairs, but there's Jess and no car waiting for her when she comes out again. As the hours andThe minutes pass, you wonder and amazement to Jess in the left deep concern, and then their worst fears seem to be the threatening presence of a mysterious man be confirmed in an old yellow truck - the same man and truck on a series of threatening graffiti contributions referred to (return a number of years) on the bathroom stalls. Nicole's Night has a series of gruesome, borderline-crazy twists and turns, but the overwhelming one constant is the killer's murderous intent charged, poor painGirls.
At one point, Nicole has to interact with the families of the strange world in a camper, and the film suffers greatly for the inclusion of this scene. And 'patently ridiculous and really bothers stress and tension of the film has built up to this point. It 'very unfortunate, because playing Nicole interaction with some other characters throughout their ordeal so well. Here I take a moment to praise and Joey Lawrence for his performance, I knew he could act,but I thought it was great in this film. I am also responsible for some words more DVD extras. In general, there is never a good thing for a movie to come up with alternate endings, let alone three of them, because their very presence on the DVD gives the impression that the director has never been quite sure how to end the film. You can at least take solace in the fact that he chose the best extensions available for the film itself, since none of the three alternate endings worksIn addition to all, in my opinion. Personally, I would not have included on the DVD. Other extras include a presentation of the "crime scene" photos and a video at home of a member of the family RV. Apparently, this small film have an influence on some of the open questions of the film, but what else is really stupid.
At the end we have a route, not the original movie cliche - but I think it works surprisingly well despite this handicap. Obviously, a significantNumber of viewers disagree with me on this issue. I ask that not only this film out of hand, because to reject all the negative reviews. Even if you have not seen this type of questions before playing history of horror films, nothing can stop, referring to an environment around them. It is not fear, but I had a good time watching them.
Rest Stop (R-Rated Edition) Overview
Jess is at the wheel. Nicole rides shotgun. And at the end of the road stretching before them is glittering, glamorous Hollywood. They're on a road trip, all right...straight to hell. When the runaway lovers pause at an abandoned rest stop, Jess disappears. And someone else appears - someone with his own demented sense of fun. With drills. Staple guns. Box cutters. All the tearing, grinding, ripping tools you need to hew wood. Or metal. Or people. Especially young, pretty people just like Nicole. Raw fear rules in Rest Stop, the first film from Raw Feed, the newest brand name in horror, sci-fi and thrillers. Director John Shiban, writer and executive producer of The X-Files and Supernatural, keeps the terrors and twists coming, each out-shocking the last. Stop. Stay awhile. But don't expect to rest.

Rest Stop (R-Rated Edition) Specifications
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
