Aren't all horror movies about survival? I mean, why do people call movies survival horror and call any other movies horror? They are both the same! And Rest Stop unfortunately, sucks as both a horror film and a survival horror film. Rest Stop is about two lovers(Jess and Nicole) are on a road trip to fulfill their dreams; they stop at a rest stop and while Nicole goes in the rest stop, Jess vanishes in thin air and Nicole is left alone..or so she thinks. A demented killer is lurking around in his yellow pick-up truck who just wants to have some deadly fun with Nicole. The cat-and-mouse game begins and oh, do we ever want it to stop! \n\nThe story is definitely not exciting for anyone who likes the horror genre. Actually, I can't see how the idea could bring anyone to actually start a movie with it. It's a dull story and Rest Stop makes the story seem excellent compared to the movie itself. Rest Stop had a chance in the beginning of this film. It started off really creepy and perverted, but the movie's chance slimmed down as the movie began to play it's game of cat and mouse between Nicole and the mysterious killer. Non-stop games that are predictable, dull and simply not enjoyable. For example, Nicole sees the yellow pick-up truck and runs in the restroom. The killer is gone after a few minutes and does what he does(f*ck with her mind). This is basically all that happens and Nicole is in the restroom a lot in this film. *SPOILER* You know the person that helps Nicole is going to die*SPOILER END*. To top that off, they even added a demented family that is way too looney for any normal family(Texas Chainsaw Massacre anyone?) \n\nIf I think I could label this movie, I'd think drama would fit. There is absolutely no suspense in this movie and actually, this movie hardly feels anything like a horror film. There is way too many key moments in this movie that feels dramatic. Although, some will disagree with me. I know there is blood in this movie and violence and all that horror stuff, but the movie feels so much like a drama. You'll get a finger cut off, blood splatter, gunshot wounds; it's not gory for an unrated version. I doubt if there was more blood, the movie will still be boring as hell. \n\nThe acting isn't that great, but far better than the other really low budget movies I've seen. Jaimie Alexander is the lead and she plays Nicole. She did fairly well and Joey Lawrence plays Jess and he literally stinks in this movie. The killer, Joey Mendicino, well his role doesn't have much acting involved except driving. The special effects are pretty good, surprisingly well done by the budget. The script which was written by the director John Shiban, did a decent job on the script. It's pretty basic because the characters hardly go far from the rest stop resulting not much action. The directing isn't nothing special either. It's very basic, creating a few good shots, but everything has been seen before. \n\nRest Stop was supposed to be a shocking film, making each twist and turn even more shocking than the last, but I beg to differ. This is so bad, it's shocking that it got made! The story is way too boring, the movie itself is dull and predictable with things you've seen in other movies and everything in this movie just doesn't work at all to create a good horror movie to watch, not even a decent one at that. The cover may look inviting, but looks are deceiving and movies like this proves that!

I absolutely loved it..Great Movie! Right up there with Shawshank Redemption.\nOne of Redford's best in a while. I prefer it to "The Horse Whisperer" and "Up Close and Personal"\n\nThe end of the Movie was moving...really moving.

yes it's awesome. well i saw it just last night and i was expecting a more re-enactment type movie. Eric Bana plays the part really well, and its another icebreaking movie by spielberg(sorry about spelling) definately a coffeebreak topic in the office..

First of all - the first post was correct. This was not real. An immediate family member of mine was in the state police when the movie came out and informed everyone they could find that the movie was JUST AN INTRIGUING MOVIE. Yes law enforcement WAS bombarded with phone calls about the film. (As a side note - many people called to volunteer to help search for the missing kids.) There were so many calls for a while that it began to seriously strain local resources. \n\nSecond of all - that movie made me gave me the worst motion-sickness. Ugh. It was bad enough that I can't even really give a fair evaluation of any other element of the film. I can just say that the cinematography, while being a large part of the point, really detracted from the film for me.

Yes, I saw it... It was very good!! *smile*\n\nI cried after the movie, because it brought to remembrance how God loves His people so much and that He guides the paths of those that trust in Him....\n\nThe one who played Esther is so pretty. I will buy the DVD when they start selling them.

This film is crap! Sorry but dont waste your money!  My friend (in the photo) went to see it and the whole film is based on just two people, the girl is all mouth - she keeps saying she is gonna castrate the fella - and just keeps threatening, its like "just bloody do it ok"!\n\nIts a ok film for a boring night in, but not worth a trip to the pictures.

And when the main girl says shes already had balls to the face before!!! I crack up every time!! I love scary movies and I have seen all the ones they spoof on the trailer...\nSo yes, I will see the movie on Friday, with my boyfriend, because I need a good laugh at the end of a stressful week!!!

Yep, I saw it. Like the others said, it's pretty funny and it gets pretty sad toward the end.\n\nOverall, I liked it a lot.

Jejejeje! I loved that movie! Seriously! Still, when I don't have a lot on my mind the scene where Danny got shot jumps into my head and makes me really sad. That scene was more disturbing to me than the curb scene. Ed Norton was so amazing. He got the part exactly! The emotions you see in his face are unbelievable. \n\nShalabra as you know these are the scenes that made me cry:\n\n1. The store scene\n2. The curb scene\n3. The rape scene in prison\n4. The scene when Danny and Derek take down the Nazi stuff on the wall\n5. The scene when Danny gets killed\n6. The deleted scene when the two skinheads harass the old lady and she gets sad...but I think that was more because I was still emotional from Danny's death.\n\nAnd Shalabra...answer me please...the thing that bugs me a lot is that I'm scared Derek will go back to being a skin head. I mean partly why he became one in the first place was because his dad was killed by a black guy...so now that his brother was killed by a black guy, I'm scared his anger will rise again and he'll go back to being one.  That thought scared me more than anything...even though it's just a movie.
