Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

TheLittleSongbird Saw 'Rest Stop: Don't Look Back', being fond of horror regardless of budget (even if not my favourite genre) and being intrigued somewhat by the idea. Being behind on my film watching and reviewing, with a long to watch and review list that keeps getting longer, it took me a while to get round to watching and reviewing it. Despite not caring for the first 'Rest Stop', saw the sequel anyway with curiosity.Giving 'Rest Stop: Don't Look Back' a fair chance with being interest and apprehension, it turned out to be a little better than expected with having the same strengths and flaws of the first 'Rest Stop' and being about the same in quality (basically not caring for either). Won't say that 'Rest Stop: Don't Look Back' is a great film (mediocre actually) because it isn't and the potential, while not wasted, is not fully lived up to. Considering the large number of films seen recently being mediocre and less and wasting potential, was expecting worse and was relieved that while wanting in a fair few areas it was actually one of my better recent low-budget viewings if not by much.'Rest Stop: Don't Look Back' started off quite well, the first twenty minutes or so starting the film off on a promising, unsettling and atmospheric note that really does intrigue. Production values did have some eeriness and nowhere near as cheap as expected.The setting is effectively spooky. Initially, there are spooky and suspenseful moments, it isn't dull, and the storytelling initially does intrigue. Admired that it tried to be more than a standard slasher film, the supernatural element does intrigue but that it's open to interpretation so divisively says a lot for things feeling confused and muddled too often. However, the story was severely wanting in the second half after starting off promisingly. It is very disjointed and after the promising start the final third especially loses atmosphere, one loses interest and things start to not make sense. Too much of the film is vague and doesn't explore some elements and story strands enough, some dropped soon after being introduced, go nowhere or serve much point. Instead of doing something different from the first 'Rest Stop', meaning giving some freshness while maintaining the spirit and with chance of improvement, it is too more of the same-like and with even less imagination.Ending is unsatisfying, on top of feeling hasty there are too many loose ends hanging in the air and it all felt abrupt. Got the sense that the writers didn't know how to end the film. Would have liked much more tension and suspense (where there is barely any of either), scares could have been more consistent (again nowhere near enough) and some weren't surprising enough and had no atmosphere, the over-obvious sound not helping. Coherence wasn't a strong suit either.Found too the script to lack natural flow and with a fair bit of cheese and blandness going on, and the characters bland with some adopting some annoying and not always logical decision making, Marilyn is one of those wanting-to-slap characters. There is very little menace to the conflict, uncreative and unscary kills, the direction is phoned in and generally the acting is subpar. Elements intended to "spice things up" (gore and profanity) were overused and gratuitous.Overall, mediocre. 4/10 Bethany Cox

Inky21 OK this is the confusing part how did the bathroom ghost in the first rest stop go missing and got killed in 1971 if the serial killer was killed in 1972?...doesn't even make sense and the dates doesn't match up just confusing.And what was the point of the ghost sex???...and how did eyeballs come into plan like it was a clue in the first movie it really wasn't so what was the point of speaking about eyeballs they never said anything in the first movie about him taking out his victims eyeballs and never seen taking out eyeballs being his mark on victims, so why is it relevant?...this plot is just twisted and changing into something it wasn't in the beginning.All of the things happening has nothing to do with what happened in the first movie and did he forget about his girlfriend and his friend *funny*..but I guess some of the movie was OK.

Argemaluco Two years ago,low-budget film Rest Stop had some success in the DVD market,in spite of telling a completely incoherent story.I found that movie tedious and full of repetitive and irrelevant scenes which revealed director and screenwriter John Shiban's desperation to "inflate" the movie with the porpoise of fulfilling running time and to simulate drama the weak characters could not generate.And now,we have the repulsive and disastrous sequel of that bad film.Rest Stop : Don't Look Back is a crap of enormous proportions.This "film" is a pathetic combination of the style of the Asian horror cinema and the modern torture cinema.For one sight,we have the mysterious villain who tortures young people on an isolated place; we have manifestations from ghosts; and we also have an enormously boring and unbearably slow story which is completely improvised.Instead of provoking horror,this film provokes a big impatience.Plus,the characters from this movie are deeply stupid,so much that I wanted them to get killed.On this crap,we also have terribly bad performances and insipid violence.Rest Stop : Don't Look Back is an unbearable experience.This repulsive piece of crap should immediately be destroyed.Be very far away from it.Don't make the same mistake I did and do not loose the time with this thing.

Claudio Carvalho 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")
