2006
WB Raw Feed Double Feature DVD

Jess and Nicole are on their way to California. Nicole starts complaining about how she needs to piss. So Jess finds a rest stop. But when Nicole comes back out Jess is missing. She looks all around for him. And he isn't there. Then this crazy truck driver passes by and throws out a red cellphone that belonged to Jess. She starts looking around for help,and finally finds an old bet up RV. After knocking on the door she is invited inside by the fucking insane family. But she is quickly thrown out cause she looked at someone they told her not to look at.

Nicole walks back to the rest stop. Inside the bathroom she finds a woman who is cut up and bleeding. This woman warns Nicole about the truck driver. Nicole turns her head to look at something. And when she turns it back the woman and all the blood has disappeared. Nicole keeps away from the crazy guy driving the yellow truck. But then a cop shows up. She thinks her nightmare is over. But the cop ends up getting hit by the yellow truck.

Nicole drags the cop into the restroom. But while she is distracted by him. The trucker locks the door. She goes to see what is going on. She manages to get the door open somewhat,when the trucker appears and bites one of her fingers off. She goes back to the cop,when all of the sudden a camera is throw into the room. She checks it out and sees a video of Jess being tortured by someone. The trucker shoves a hose threw the broken window and starts pumping gas into the bathroom. Nicole notices a hatch on the ceiling. Since the cop is gonna die anyway,he ask her to shot him with his gun. She misses on the first shot. But finally kills him. Nicole barely makes it threw the ceiling hatch and off the top of the restroom,before it blows up.

Nicole sees the man in the yellow truck standing with his back to her. So she sneaks up and knocks him to the ground. When she rolls him over she finds out that it is really Jess. He has his mouth sewed shut.

Nicole breaks into the park ranger's station that is at the rest stop. She finds an old whiskey bottle,and fills it up with gasoline. Once it is dawn she starts walking down the highway. And she hears the yellow truck approaching. Nicole manages to light her makeshift molotav cocktail. She throws it and it sets the truck on fire. Outta nowhere Jess appears beside Nicole. She sees him and then everything fades to black.

We flash forward,and a new girl has stopped at the rest stop. She finds Nicole inside the bathroom bleeding and crying. So the new girl goes to get the park ranger. But when they come back Nicole is gone. They leave and we see Nicole hiding in the maintance closet,where she is vomiting blood.

We cut to some video footage. It is the dad from the RV,and he is burying the man from the yellow truck. We cut away and then see the man in the yellow truck driving his truck down the highway.

Now before seeing this,I hadn't even heard of it. But it was $5 for Rest Stop:Dead Ahead and Rest Stop:Don't look back. The film has this strange vibe too it. Where you really have no idea what is going on most of the time. But that helps make it different from most  of the DTV horror that has come out the past decade. The acting and the FX are all good. Rest Stop:Dead Ahead gets a B-.
