OK horror film set at a rest stop. It was sort of like a combination of Breakdown and Duel. It was about a young couple on a road trip, where they were running away, and they stop off at a rest stop with a great deal of missing people posters. The girl goes into the bathroom with cryptic messages in the stalls and comes back to find the boy missing and is terrorized by a homicidal maniac, and it is hinted that he kidnapped and is torturing the guy. Along the way she meets an ultrareligious and ultraweird family, and a cop who tries to help her gets run over by the maniac.This makes the most of its limited settings and a limited cast, and features some amount of torture and gore. Not for the squeamish-definitely. Not horrible but not great. Followed by an OK sequel.** out of ****

How in the hell did his get made? It makes me mad because this bull-sh!t takes away from other film makers who certainly have more to offer than this illogical, nonsensical, poorly written, horribly acted BULLSH!T. F*ck EVERYONE responsible for taking part in the making and marketing of this crap. An hour and a half of my life I can never get back...damn.Shame on ME for sticking with it...Garbage. Garbage. Garbage.I've never posted before, but felt inclined to do so because this really is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Much, much worse than even the junk on the sci-fi channel. Please avoid this at all costs...

Rest Stop ( 2006) I don't why but for a few weeks, I got this mixed up with Drive Thru (2007.I sas few year ago,bat least Drive Thru was a lot fun to watch and really enjoyed). (Funny that both of these movie 4.4 IMDb site) both went to Straight to DVD.A young couple seem to go on a road trip, they almost get hit by another car, only for the boyfriend to angry shout abuse at the driver before it's drivers off. They come to the rest stop, where the girl goes to the nasty bathroom and come back out to see her boyfriends as gone, at first she thinks it's a Joke. I found the whole movie was a joke, cause felt so bored after all that happened and then movies just kept on going around and around and around in circles and those scenes were not that good at all. They were not scary, tense of anything , it was just flat from start to end, I could not wait for if to end. Just before the 45 minutes, I was trying really hard not to fall a sleep.I thought the movie could be better in the latter,.I was wrong there too as is stayed in that bleak flat zone and the acting was all over the place from the lead.I could not take her serious atall. (In her few scenes, she clam and the next crying and going over the top, some scenes felt like she was just read from the script at the moment.The whole movie was very predictable, nothing that not really done in otherbhorror/thrillers movies, shich have been done much better then this. There one scenes that I really liked, which I thought was really stranger and very odd in a good.That scenes was really point-less as it had nothing to with the main plot. 2/10 Avoid it!I won't be seeing the sequel anytime soon!

I love this style of movie! It doesn't stay in the simple, you have to think, do research on it. The actress has it right, she owns the character and she knows where she's going with it. I do not think that this movie deserves the note that it has and I think that if you like movies like the hitcher or wolf creek, you'll enjoy! It's sure that the language in this movie is not the best ever, but still, I think it makes it more realistic. There should have been more diversity in the places, there was almost only the toilets and office. The idea of not showing clearly the killer is interesting and makes us think everybody could be the murderer, that is a nice idea. So, if you like horror and suspense movies, you should like it of you get it and if you accept the fact that the whole thing is not really realistic.
