Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed It's an embarrassing half assed horror film that goes nowhere, and I couldn't stand it. May 26, 2011 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 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... Rated: 2/4 Feb 13, 2007 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid Totally derivative and without any particular surprises, [but] still a skillful exercise. Nov 3, 2006 Full Review John J. Puccio Movie Metropolis ...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. Rated: 2/10 Oct 18, 2006 Full Review David Cornelius eFilmCritic.com This is a flat horror effort that ranges from dull to unintentionally hilarious to, finally, tiresome. Rated: 1/5 Oct 17, 2006 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com absolutely riddled with plot holes, inconsistencies, and simple errors of logic Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 15, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Joseph A The plot was very superficial & was so disjointed. The acting and dialogue waa so poorly done I see why it was a straight to video film. A real stinker. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review Jerod S Man, rest stops are scary and nasty. But the cheese applied to this idea ruined all the horror that could've been had. When the old beat up ford with the mystery killer driver ran over the cops knees, I was done. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/30/23 Full Review Dan W Rather be watching Jeepers Creepers Reborn Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/07/23 Full Review Liam D Is it worth the 0% rating no is it a good movie still no Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/27/22 Full Review Audience Member Does this movie make any sense? No. Would I recommend it to most people? No. Does it have Joey Lawrence from Blossom fame in it? Yes. Did I watch this movie twice in 2020 and not even notice that Joey Lawrence was in it? Yes. Is Joey Lawrence's character in the movie the dumbest cop of all time? Yes. Does this movie have one of the funniest horror movie death sequences ever? Yes. Girl runs away from home with boyfriend. They stop at a rest stop and her boyfriend and the car disappears. She ends up stranded at the rest stop and some deranged killer in a yellow truck stalks her. Faced with this horrifying realization what do you think the female protagonist decides to do? Umm, well she decides it's time to get drunk. lmao....Check it out if you like cheesy so bad that they pretty good movies.

TW Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review victor o I am a fan of lead actress Jaime Alexander and saw this movie because she is in it. This was one of her first movies and unfortunately, it is not a good movie and her performance was satisfactory for the first half and the rest went downhill to the end. This is a horror thriller in with Alexander plays Nicole, a young Texan girl who runs off with her boyfriend because she is sick of her boring life back home and wants to try out her life in California. Everything seems fine up until they arrive at the rest stop. From here it's the same old horror show where a haunted place keeps people from leaving as psycho killers with a strange power allow innocent people to either be butchered or locked up in a strange bathroom for years without aging or unable to leave. It is a very strange movie and one that for the first half is okay but when they reveal such things as a girl from the 1970s locked in the bathroom or the freak show family down to the deputy that gets brutalized it only made me disgusted. Poor acting and poor storytelling. The only good thing is Jaime Alexander's pretty face that kept me watching. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
