Description:
Jess is at the wheel. Nicole rides shotgun. And at the end of the road stretching before them is glittering, glamorous Hollywood. They're on a road trip, all right...straight to hell. When the runaway lovers pause at an abandoned rest stop, Jess disappears. And someone else appears - someone with his own demented sense of fun. With drills. Staple guns. Box cutters. All the tearing, grinding, ripping tools you need to hew wood. Or metal. Or people. Especially young, pretty people just like Nicole. Raw fear rules in Rest Stop, the first film from Raw Feed, the newest brand name in horror, sci-fi and thrillers. Director John Shiban, writer and executive producer of The X-Files and Supernatural, keeps the terrors and twists coming, each out-shocking the last. Stop. Stay awhile. But don't expect to rest.

Amazon.com:
Considering that Rest Stop comes courtesy director John Shiban, an X-Files and Star Trek staff writer, one would expect this horror film to contain a kernel of originality, but unfortunately it is a poor conflation of Wolf Creek, Joyride, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre, among others. Nicole Carrow (Jaimie Alexander) and Jess Hilts (Joey Mendocino) are young, hopeful actors taking a road trip to Hollywood, though neither reaches their final destination. A psychotic pick-up truck driver dominates the rest stop they pull off at, often maiming his victims by hitting them with his truck, then dragging them off onto a school bus where he tortures them with drills, pincers, saws, branding irons, knives, and other tools. Jess disappears early in the film, leaving Nicole to fend for herself, often by locking herself in the dingy rest stop restroom, or by running to avoid being hit by the truck. After her attempt to call a sheriff ends in the sheriff's death, Nicole's prospects for survival dim. Graphic scenes are indeed horribly disgusting, but the torture methods are so clichéd that one wishes for more psychology behind the killer's methods to actually scare. A random scene in which Nicole hitches a ride in a motorhome with some Bible-thumping freaks further pushes the film into clichéd territory. Since Rest Stop fails to fully develop the killer or the victims' characters, it is difficult to empathize with them. Even Nicole, rendered powerless from the outset, lacks the personality to entertain through this full-length feature in which so little happens besides hunt-kill, hunt-kill. --Trinie Dalton

Rating:  - C'monnn people this movie was really good!
I don't know why everyone is bashing this movie so bad. I just watched it on Netflix yesterday and I came on here to see how much I can get it for. It was a lot better than I had expected. I am looking forward to watching Rest Stop 2. I wouldn't rate this movie 5 stars, but definitely 4.

REST STOP
I had high hopes for this film going into it when I first watched it, it was being compared to "WOLF CREEK" [a film I liked] so I thought that this would be just as good if not better. Unfortunately this film did not live up to that expectation, maybe it is my fault for believing the hype. This film turned out to be just ok which is a disappointment, but it does still have some good qualities about it. I think if I would have gone into this with out expectations it might ... Read More
Rating:  - A movie with too much that didnt know where to go.
It's really difficult for me to even give this flick two stars but certain things held my interest. I've been wanting to see Rest Stop for awhile and was a little excited to finally sit down and watch it. When it was over, I was more relieved than anything else. This movie wants to be in your face and shocking so bad that it's almost laughable. Yes, there are some rather good gore scenes but all of that is completely overshadowed by the fact that the story is it's biggest flaw. There's dates on the ... Read More
Rating:  - Haunted Bathroom
I was very frustrated watching this movie as well. Basically, everything in the movie is supernatural. The girl is stuck interacting with ghosts of the past; there is no way she could escape or destroy the killer.
This isn't explained and just leaves the viewer very frustrated.
The 3 alternate endings "EACH MORE SHOCKING THAN THE LAST" is bullshi_. They are each DUMBER THAN THE LAST.
The movie did keep my attention throughout, therefore, it gets a 3 out of ... Read More
Rating: - recommended to anyone looking for a good time.
Another decent one from "Raw Feed." Aside from its obvious low budget, this is an entertaining little "Survival" flick. Decent gore, decent suspense. I wouldnt rank this among my top 20, but i'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good time.
6/10
