DVD Talk review of 'Rest Stop'

I read Ian Jane's DVD review of Rest Stop at http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=24287 and...I rented this through netflix. the DVD was unrated but it only had 2 alternate endings and a trailer vs. the 3 alternate endings and featurettes that is available on the unrated version in stores. What's up with that?

I rented it from my local Movie Gallery last week and the unrated version I got was the same as the one in stores with the 3 alternate endings and featurettes. There is a short featurette dealing with the family in the RV that is worth seeing IMO.

I don't think I've ever been so happy for a film to end.

I'm with MonsterMan. This was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. My girlfriend and I were hoping that everyone in this movie would die almost instantly.

I realize the movie is called Rest Stop, and they probably saved a fortune on location, but how fucking stupid is this girl? After the first or second fucked up thing happened, I'd be high-tailing it out of there. I don't care how far I'd have to walk. I sure as hell wouldn't be drinking a half bottle of Wild Turkey.

MINOR SPOILERS REGARDING THEMES







This movie def' suffered from not wanting to know what it wanted to be - straight forward thriller or existential horror, and decided to be a combo, but for me didnt succeed in doing so at all. I still look forward to see what this new company will do though since the movie did show some promise even though the script was kinda crappy. 5/10
