Rest Stop (2006)


The Good:
One of the best features of this film is that it is confusing... (if you have a IMDB account you should read the hilarious posts about who KZL 303 is).
It was slightly better than most of the crappy horror films I have the misfortune of watching.
The director did utilize a few different filters and did a competent job directing.

The Bad:
Ok, the acting wasn't good, the dialouge wasn't good, the (insert most aspects of film-making) wasn't good... but seriously folks, it's a low budget horror film called Rest Stop, did you expect much?
It was confusing, frustratingly so... but again, that also adds to the "charm".

Overall: So it wasn't a gem, or a diamond in the rough, or even a dime on a dirty sidewalk that still only brings your grand total in coins to 50 cents when you need 55. But it wasn't the worst film ever. Strange that a film called Rest Stop wouldn't be even 1/10 as good as a film called Phone Booth.

As you know - my husband is someone who will watch any sci fi or horror film at least once no matter how bad it is. That said - after watching this one he said to me "I think I may have seen the worst horror movie ever made - but I'm kind of confused about it still so I can't be sure." :p
