Rest Stop
So last night, I went to my families Christmas Party thing, which was kind of fun, I guess. Good food and all that jazz. Anyways, I got home and picked up Albert and then went to the video store and fast mart. We rented The Ring and Rest Stop. Then we walked on over to the fast mart thing, and got Juicy Fruit, since I have never had it before and Albert insisted I must try it. It wasn’t bad, but the f
lavor was actually lost pretty fast.
Anyways, we got home, made quesadillas and then decided to watch Rest Stop first. Now, I usually like horror movies and suspense or whatever, but this movie freaked me the ::BLEEP:: out. I already had a hatred for rest stops, so this just made it worse. Basically its about this girl, Nicole Carrow. She is running away from home with her boyfriend, Jess- leaving Texas and headed to California. Then they drive on this old road and part in a rest stop, and while the chick is peeing, her boyfriend is like…abducted or something. The night just keeps going by and Nicole, the main character, is just threatened by this sick freak, it was weird.
It probably sounds really lame, and if I think about it, it kind of was, but I was freaking out. There was one scene that particularly was…good, in a sick, freaky, I’m scared shitless way…
Somehow a police officer comes into the picture but is hit by the bad guy, or whatever. So he’s like paralysed from the neck down it seemed like. Anyways, the sick freak bad guy thing is basically about to set him on fire and burn him alive, but the cop was like “Nicole, shoot me. I don’t want to burn.”, so she puts the gun in his mouth, and shoots him. But like two seconds later, he’s like “You missed. Shoot me. Shoot me again.” Oh my God, I was….I don’t even know. Pretty sick movie, though…
Go watch it. It wasn’t great, but hey, it’s cool.
