No explanation, just no follow through and the movie assumes you’re going to follow along. One minute a dude is having sex with his missing friend’s girlfriend and the next she’s gone and that’s that. Not only that, the characters meet up with their friends and do two things: 1) Follow them into a bathroom, where they disappear and 2) have sex with them. There is a supernatural tinge to this film and it makes me mad because it doesn’t explain this at all. A mad truck driver? I can get behind that, but what I can’t forgive is that the truck and the driver vanish into thin air. The editing is hard, but we should be used to that in todays horror movie market. Gratuitous nudity aside, the movie does a good job of filming it, even if the edits are a little odd, as it moves from still shots to first person view points with such a hard line to follow. Besides eyes getting gauged out, there is also a fair amount of boobs shown for no reason and even though the love scenes are arduous at best, they offer a glimpse into the development of the characters that make you wonder if the film makers actually “tried” making this film a little bit more than just a straight boredom movement. There is a good amount of gore and torture in this film. I do credit the makers with that much, as the camera and the scene’s are filmed well. It is filmed in HD or at least a higher quality camera than most of these straight to dvd movies. Here is a trailer for Rest Stop: Don’t Look Back Meanwhile his girlfriend and his brother’s best friend find themselves along for a strange ride. So he embarks on a trip out to where he believes his brother was and starts randomly asking questions. Tom is our main character and he thinks that he can do what the police and others can’t find his brother. He vows to find his lost brother and his girl, who disappeared a year ago. The movie picks up in the present with a returning soldier meeting up with his girlfriend and friend. The father rushers in and stops them, cutting out the eyes of the hitcher, and we fast forward to the future where the family has been mercilessly slaughtered no real explanations are given to anything in this film, so I won’t try to explain it either. The mom of the group is over the top in her sexual advances to the stranger and eventually gets her to do him in the RV, meanwhile the rest of the family is eating dinner. A family in an RV picks up a hitchhiker and they are weird, just out of the ordinary weird. Rest Stop: Don’t Look Back starts out kind of interesting. For the sake of sanity, I’m not even going to try to fit this into my “why is this scary” review format, and am just going to come out swinging, as this movie deserves every bit of the fight that I want to give to this piece of crap horror film. Rest Stop 2 is a sequel to a much better, much scarier straight to dvd film entitled Rest Stop.
