Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed May 26, 2011
It's an embarrassing half assed horror film that goes nowhere, and I couldn't stand it. Go to Full Review
David Nusair Reel Film Reviews Feb 13, 2007
2/4
Though certainly a cut above the majority of its straight-to-video horror brethren, Rest Stop is ultimately undone by the inclusion of several questionable elements... Go to Full Review

Totally derivative and without any particular surprises, [but] still a skillful exercise. Go to Full Review

...another of those films where we just wish the madman would dispatch the leading lady as quickly as possible and be done with it, putting her and us out our misery. Go to Full Review

This is a flat horror effort that ranges from dull to unintentionally hilarious to, finally, tiresome. Go to Full Review

Theodore W Mar 18, 2019 A great movie with real scares and good characters. Also has a great plot.
George P Mar 14, 2019 Horrible movie!! Nothing original. Not any genuine scares that I can recall. A few elements that could have turned into good plot twists that end up being pointless additions. Jaime Alexander's performance is ham-fisted but she's not helped by bad dialogue. Skip this one. See more
Ron W Sep 21, 2018 This is one very underrated horror movie in my opinion. Yes it's a slasher but a slasher with a Twist. The second installment was pretty good not as great as the first one. There's been rumors going on around for years that there will be a third movie but I have not heard about this in a while still hoping though. See more
Hermione W Sep 3, 2017 No rest while a killer on the loose! I watch B movies, but not that regularly. This was a direct-to-video film. I know nobody from it. At first it did not feel like I'm watching a film, but like someone who wanted to be a filmmaker is messing around with his camera. But it was not a matter, I got used to it, especially once the thrill part had started. It's an out and out thriller that is set in a remote place where a young woman was trapped by a mysterious killer. So her survival game begins, but the killer is always a step ahead. How long it can go like this and what happens at the end are the rest of the film to tell us. Those thriller parts were good for such a low cost film. But the screenplay was very very bad. It had a story, but there's no reason for it. Totally failed on that to give one. That's what people always expect at the end the film to explain. It was more like a silly random act, though most of the 'killing' films are similar. They have added a sex scene at the very beginning, knowing there won't be a place for it in the latter section. You can say it was unnecessary, but to bring more audience to the film to watch. I have seen even worse. So, for the attempt and for a couple of scenes it deserves some respect. 3/10 See more
Leia R Jul 10, 2017 Garbage, wow, well peoples what can i say" well i can say this, this movie sucks, on so many levels. I cant believe it, although i do give it a slight piece of credit, just because it kept you waiting, and thinking whats going to happen, but of course, the plot sicks, the acting sucks, the pace sucks, the charecters sucks, the whole movie sucks ".

Theodore L May 11, 2017 Have to agree with most of the people here. Lot - didn't make sense, Illogical behaviors at times. Maybe the sequel might answer why and what is what. Worth a one time watch. See more
