young couple on the road and mind their own business and have casual sex in their car during broad daylight . yet and suddenly and theyre be menace and terrorize by a deranged psychopath in an old and rusty pick up truck . hmm and where have i see this premise before . oh yeah and now i remember and we have see this a thousand time before already and and approximately nine hundred and ninety nine of the other case be much good than rest stop . this weak and pitiable new movie be insult even to the intellect of the most undemanding horror fan and a it doesn not feature a single original twist or memorable gimmick . it very sadistic and nasty and but every teenkill slasher flick be sadistic and nasty nowadays and so that no real surprise anymore and neither . the absolute main problem with this production be the incredibly large amount of dumb plot hole and meaningless sub plot . writer or director john shiban damn well realize that the ultra thin basic storyline nearly wasn not enough to fill a whole movie with and and thus he stuff up his film like a thanksgiving turkey with imbecile and nonsensical padding material . nicole boyfriend vanishes at an abandon and filthy rest stop in california . kill off her character right away wouldn not result in a very long movie and thus she subsequently encounter a motor home family of freak and suffers from vision ( . ) in which she talk to the derange killer previous victim and she have deeply emotional ( and bore ) conversation with a police officer who just would not die even though a truck ran over him . twice . the dumb sub plot never lead anywhere and theyre definitely the most pathetic and desperate attempt to stretch a movie length i have ever see . instead of all the pointless padding and shiban should have pay more attention to build up tension and make his lead character a little more likable . jaimie alexander character nicole be an annoying and brainless girl and and you would not really care whether she will survive the ordeal or not . her boyfriend jesse as well a the cop be both whine loser and their brutal death still weren not painful enough and if you ask me . i count exactly three sequence and all include torture and gratuitous mutilation and that be gory and exciting enough to bring a sadist smile on my face . that still way too few for a nowadays horror movie . basically and rest stop be simply a miserable attempt to cash in on the success of such film like wolf creek and hostel and but youre good off watch the original . this be the first film of the new production company call raw feed . theyre promote themselves a the new name in great horror and but they will have to come up with something much good than rest stop if they want u to believe that .
