Plot:
Unrated/Uncut terror ahead - don't miss the off-ramp! En route to Hollywood, runaway lovers Jess and Nicole make an unscheduled pit stop into the lair of a madman who has his ripping, slashing, drilling tools at the ready. Stop awhile, but don't expect rest as director John Shiban (writer/executive producer of Supernatural) keeps the shocks and twists coming in Rest Stop: Dead Ahead (Side A). There's no rest for the wicked as more unsuspecting young travelers exit into the killer's domain in Rest Stop: Don't Look Back (Side B). The roadtrippers are not alone. The roaming RV of living corpses is back, and the vengeance-seeking ghosts of Jesse and Nicole show up too!

This movie is pretty good. It was enough to keep my interest through-out... and proved to be an entertaining way of wasting an hour and a half. There is a bit of decent gore... but not a whole lot. I think most people would be able to handle it without any problems. There is a family traveling in an RV that were just plain weird. While it didn't explain it fully... it did show that they were at least somehow involved. I also checked out the alternate endings. They added 3 alternate endings on the disc. The first alternate wasn't bad... would have been a satisfying ending at least. The other 2 alternate endings I didn't care for at all... but in the end they definitely used the best ending for the movie.

My Thoughts: I decided to watch this after viewing Chloe the US remake of this film. The premise is the same with a professional woman employing a call-girl to try and trap her husband, whom she thinks is having affairs. The family dynamics though are different and the ending an anti-climax compared to the US version.

My Rating: A mildly enjoyable 3

Tom's Random Star Trek Reviews, a review by Tom

Star Trek: The Next Generation
5.18 Cause and Effect
Writer: Brannon Braga (Writer)
Director: Jonathan Frakes
Cast: Patrick Stewart (Capt. Jean-Luc Picard), Jonathan Frakes (Cmdr. William Riker), LeVar Burton (Lt. Cmdr. Geordi La Forge), Michael Dorn (Lt. Worf), Gates McFadden (Dr. Beverly Crusher), Marina Sirtis (Counselor Deanna Troi), Brent Spiner (Lt. Commander Data), Michelle Forbes (Ro Laren), Patti Yasutake (Nurse Alyssa Ogawa), Kelsey Grammer (Captain Bateson)

This episode starts with the destruction of the Enterprise followed by the Opening credits. What follows is Star Trek meets Groundhog Day.
The crew relives the same few hours leading up to the destruction to the Enterprise again and again without remembering the previous loops. Only a feeling of deja vu follows the crew.
I always liked this episode. It has one of the shortest, but also one of the most effectful opening teasers in the entire run of the series. We also have a cameo by Kelsey Grammer as the Captain of the other ship (which was trapped in the loop for 90 years).
