Rest Stop: Don't Look Back (2008)

Thanks for the memories!

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

The acting in this movie is really good.

I love B horror films, they're among m favorite sub-genre, but that being said...Tom, on leave from the Army, goes to find out who killed his sister and her boyfriend (as told in the superior yet merely watchable first Rest Stop film) The original was incredibly clichéd and unoriginal, but it went about its task we'll enough. Part duex can't even do that right. The story is wildly disjointed and not entertaining in the least bit. I couldn't bring myself giving a toss about any of these morons and thus was not invested in any part of the film, which seemed to drag on forever.Eye Candy: Jessie Ward gets briefly topless My Grade: D-

The first Rest Stop is cinema at it's worst, so when the sequel came along, I expected the same thing, horror trying to be art. Well, to say least, I was a little surprised.The story follows the brother of the man killed in the first part, he decides to go to California to look for his brother and his girlfriend. He brings his girlfriend and geeky friend. Soon, the come upon the rest stop where the two people perished, and soon the same supernatural crap that happened in the first one starts happening to them.First of all, this film actually wallows in the supernatural crap, so it's not annoying or confusing like in the first. The acting is nothing to scream about, it's not horrible. And while the story is still stupid and confusing (not to mention full of plot holes) it's still entertaining to a certain degree.In the end, you can skip it, unless you REALLY loved the first.

I recently came across this movie, and i had to buy, only because of how awesome the first one is. The first time I watched Rest Stop, i was like wow, i couldn't believe the amount of violence and carnage in it. So when i watched Rest Stop 2, the amount of violence is even greater. Some scenes were harder than hell to watch. Im just glad that it follows the first one, where a returning soldier Richard Tillman(The Day The Earth Stood Still) and his girlfriend Jessie Ward(Wicked Wicked Games), set out to look for his missing brother Joey Mendicino(Rest Stop) and his girlfriend, and wind up encountering the psychotic fanatical family and the murderous truck driver. This film shows how the killer came to be and who he was in the first film. This movie is hardcore and brutal, so I only recommend it to die hard horror fans!

Two years ago,low-budget film Rest Stop had some success in the DVD market,in spite of telling a completely incoherent story.I found that movie tedious and full of repetitive and irrelevant scenes which revealed director and screenwriter John Shiban's desperation to "inflate" the movie with the porpoise of fulfilling running time and to simulate drama the weak characters could not generate.And now,we have the repulsive and disastrous sequel of that bad film.Rest Stop : Don't Look Back is a crap of enormous proportions.This "film" is a pathetic combination of the style of the Asian horror cinema and the modern torture cinema.For one sight,we have the mysterious villain who tortures young people on an isolated place; we have manifestations from ghosts; and we also have an enormously boring and unbearably slow story which is completely improvised.Instead of provoking horror,this film provokes a big impatience.Plus,the characters from this movie are deeply stupid,so much that I wanted them to get killed.On this crap,we also have terribly bad performances and insipid violence.Rest Stop : Don't Look Back is an unbearable experience.This repulsive piece of crap should immediately be destroyed.Be very far away from it.Don't make the same mistake I did and do not loose the time with this thing.
