Rest Stop (DVD, 2006, Unrated Edition, Raw Feed Series)

"DO NOT" be misled by poor reviews, anyone! Let me be the sole promoter of this film if I must!!!! -- To hate or dislike this film means you simply aren't watching the same film! -- REST STOP (Unrated Version) is packed with everything that makes a true shocker, a shocker. This movie has the feel of several classics all mixed into one culture-shocker you cannot afford to miss. Two star-crossed lovers are running away from home, making their carefree way across long-stretches of highway towards Hollywood (LA) where they dream of future lives as actors. Their dreams will become maddeningly derailed when they need to make a REST STOP at a quiet and seemingly reserved location just off the Interstate....on a road they can't seem to spot on the map. (Note: "Hills Have Eyes") -- Set perfectly across a small wooden bridge amidst a backdrop of quiets woods is a concrete bathroom, eerily reminiscent of the bathstops we are all familiar in seeing from our own trips to local swim-holes....(where everyone piles in to change their bathing suits or see the lifeguards sitting on top). You quickly think this bathroom is something so perfectly destined to be found just beyond the "Camp Crystal Lake" sign (Note: "Friday the 13th"). The real sell in this film is the astounding performance put forth by up-and-coming actress (Jamie Alexander), the girlfriend who uses the Rest Room only to return and find her boyfriend and the car completely gone, with no signs of him or the car ever even pulling up! (Note: "The Vanishing") - A rundown mobile home trailer is parked quietly at the stop and not another thing in sight. A photograph flash snaps from the rear of the trailer but no one answers as Alexander pounds the trailer in her fright. Alas, of course, to no avail. Hell has just opened. Literally. She has in fact, been photographed. And like others for decades upon decades, (you will learn as the tale of wickedly evil taunt will show), she has now become "A Chosen One". Selected for punishment for her sins by "The Angel of Wrath", "The Angel of Punishment", "The Angel of Destruction". -- She manages to get inside the trailer as it attempts to pull away, and she suddenly realizes she is with a family, so devious, so twisted and so evil that she manages to bail out quickly and return to the REST STOP. (Note: This short but unbelievably sinister ride is a cross between "The Shining", the way-too-close close up camera work of "The Evil Dead", and the straight-faced outright fathomless evil of the "Way Too Nice Couple" from the film "Running Scared" that took in the young boy. -- Alexander is now a hostage of the REST STOP. And absolutely nothing, it seems will save her from "The Reaper"....as a lone truck rides the highway, and into the REST STOP. -- (To tell you more would be to sell out what may very well have been the years biggest "Miss-Out", having not gotten into theaters). With incredible tension and horrifyingly realistic gripping and merciless evil, REST STOP carries the intensity of films like "High Tension", "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "The Hills Have Eyes", "The Shining" and others. REST STOP is unrelenting, unforgiving and deviously evil to it's core. SEE THIS FILM and get your copy now....before this film reaches cult-status. And you can say you bought into it's torment in advance!

PLEASE SEE MY OTHER REVIEWS FOR GREAT FILMS !!!!

This is definetly nt a blockbuster thriller or horror movie that you may be looking for this Halloween. The movie really has no suspense at all, it does have some twists and turns that are very predictable. The movie will constantly have you asking questions that may not be answered, till the end of the movie. The movie ended well, but there were just tooo many plot holes to be keep me entirely interested. Also the lead actress, her crying just anoyed the heck out of me. This movie is definetly a rent.
