So I am going to give _Rest Stop_ a rating of half a star, because it's fucking terrible, but I must admit, I did have at least a little fun talking shit about the movie with some mates. Ridiculous. Final rating:½ - So bad it’s offensive.

**No rest while a killer on the loose!** I watch B movies, but not that regularly. This was a direct-to-video film. I know nobody from it. At first it did not feel like I'm watching a film, but like someone who wanted to be a filmmaker is messing around with his camera. But it was not a matter, I got used to it, especially once the thrill part had started. It's an out and out thriller that is set in a remote place where a young woman was trapped by a mysterious killer. So her survival game begins, but the killer is always a step ahead. How long it can go like this and what happens at the end are the rest of the film to tell us. Those thriller parts were good for such a low cost film. But the screenplay was very very bad. It had a story, but there's no reason for it. Totally failed on that to give one. That's what people always expect at the end the film to explain. It was more like a silly random act, though most of the 'killing' films are similar. They have added a sex scene at the very beginning, knowing there won't be a place for it in the latter section. You can say it was unnecessary, but to bring more audience to the film to watch. I have seen even worse. So, for the attempt and for a couple of scenes it deserves some respect. _3/10_

Straight-to-video had a simple but solid premise going in but throwing in a clear supernatural element (i.e. a phantom, immortal driver and vivid, interactive hallucinations) really turned me off. I will say Jaimie Alexander (in what looks like only her second feature film) wasn't bad. Watchable I guess but ultimately doesn't work. **2.25/5**
