So much average

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

After finding the first Rest Stop film to be a surprisingly gripping Horror,I was pleased to find out that a sequel had been made,which led to me,once again taking a turn for the rest stop.The plot:Since his brother Jesse and his girlfriend Nicole have been missing for a year, Tom Hilts,his girlfriend Marilyn and Hilts friend Jared decide to go in search for Nicole & Jesse.During their search,Hilts and Marilyn try to sleep in a motel room. Interrupting their sleep,a stranger in a yellow truck blares his lights at their motel windows.Rushing out,Hilts discovers that the truck has mysteriously disappeared.Trying to gain details of Nicole & Jesse last known location,the gang visit the lone garage in town,where the owner tells them that he warned the couple to turn back.Driving off to find Nicole and Jesse,Hilts,Marilyn and Jared soon discover that they are on the same road of death as Jesse & Nicole.View on the film:Returning to the rest stop,the screenplay by returning writer John Shiban gives the title an ill-fitting comedic bite,as Shiban wounds any tension that he builds by undercutting it with gross-out comedy. Attempting to build a mythology out of the films,Shiban runs over any tension built in Hilts,Marilyn and Jared's search for the truth,by taking the movie in a dazed and confused supernatural Horror direction,which leads to a left-field ending which completely goes against everything that the film has been building towards.

I would call this Rest Stop 2: Don't Bother to Look. This movie by far was not the worst I have seen. But with that being said it is far from the best. We have the brother and his ridiculous girlfriend (don't care about her at all) searching for the two from the original. Then we have random guy that has sex with a ghost while wearing poop stained underwear. I digress. The couple ends up at the infamous rest stop, where they battle the restroom ghost and the creepy family of nuts and the school bus. I did like that they gave the killer some background but they didn't know what to do with it, once they gave it to us. I was left wondering, what the hell just happened. I was confused and frankly don't need to see a part 3. Just let this series of movies die. They suck! It is unfortunate that they couldn't have made a better movie. I really wanted this to be good and to tie up all the questions I had from the 1st.

One year after his brother and girlfriend disappeared, Tom (Richard Tillman) and his girlfriend Marilyn (Jessie Ward) decide to go to California to find them. Tom's geeky friend Jared (Graham Norris) travels with them.The same guy who killed his brother is still haunting the highway, and finds and tortures the new breed of travelers, and also returning is the RV filled with the walking corpses.This movie reminds me of "Joy Ride 2"...another needless sequel with subpar acting, story, and effects. Nothing that distinguishes itself from being memorable, and something that will easily be forgotten.

The corporal Tom Hilts (Richard Tillman) returns from overseas to his hometown Argyle, Texas, for a ten days leave with the intention to seek our his brother Jess (Joey Mendicino), who disappeared one year ago while heading to California with his girl-friend Nicole (Julie Mond). He drives his truck with his girlfriend Marilyn (Jessie Ward) and followed by his friend Jared (Graham Norris) in his old car to California trying to track his brother. While in the old highway California, Jared needs to stop his car in an old rest stop to go to the toilet and is attacked by the driver of a yellow truck. Meanwhile Tom and Marilyn wait for him in the next rest stop where Tom is also attacked and kidnapped by the driver of the yellow truck. Marilyn sees the ghost of Nicole in the restroom and realizes that they are facing supernatural evil forces."Rest Room" had a good premise but the writer did not know how to end the story. However "Rest Stop: Don't Look Back" is a disappointing mess, with a non-likable lead characters – Tom, Jared and Marilyn – and an invincible sadistic ghost. The greatest "attraction" of this flick is the sick tortures inflicted by the driver to his victims, removing eyes and drilling knees and legs, with lots of gore and pain. But the plot itself is very weak and worse than in the original movie. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): "Rota Mortal: Não Olhe Para Trás" ("Mortal Route: Don't Look Back")
