Rest Stop: Don't Look Back

 (2008)

No rest for the wicked! One year ago, the mysterious Rest Stop killer drilled, ripped and splattered young road trippers Jesse and Nicole. Now three more unsuspecting travelers come looking for the missing duo. And that means the killer gets to sharpen his horrific torture skills all over again - only bloodier and scarier than before. He's not alone, either. The Winnebago full of creepy living corpses is also back, roaming the old highway. And Jesse and Nicole's brutalized ghosts seek revenge, determined to give as gory as they got. Watch if you dare. But whatever you do, Don't Look Back!

Rest Stop: Don't Look Back Blu-ray, Video Quality

 


Rest Stop: Don't Look Back pulls into Blu-ray with a 1080p, 2.35:1-framed transfer. Noise is abundant on this release in the opening minutes of the film, but it clears up afterwards, but only occasionally. It covers the frame in many shots and is never consistent in its presentation. The image is all over the map, from what looks to be low grade 8mm home video footage to standard 35mm coverage. It goes from noise free to covered in grain, from a normal color scheme to completely out of whack contrast and odd hues. It makes for a very difficult transfer to judge, as there often seems to be no rhyme or reason for the sudden shifts in tone and appearance. The transfer is only moderately sharp, with questionable detail but fairly strong rendering of colors. Flesh tones appear accurate amidst the ever-shifting appearance. Black levels are good, but not great, sometimes appearing as a dark shade of gray. There are some white speckles over the print, though again, thanks to the ever-changing appearance of the film, one cannot judge this absolutely.

Rest Stop: Don't Look Back Blu-ray, Audio Quality

 


Rest Stop: Don't Look Back includes a lossless Dolby TrueHD 5.1 soundtrack. The audio is fairly rich and full with music that spreads out nicely around the front and occasionally into the rear. Dialogue is generally strong and accurate with a few instances where it inexplicably becomes slightly hard to hear. Effects are loud and clean. The film features some decent bass and a few rather true-to-life sounding gunshots, but there's nothing to get too excited about in this one. It is perhaps the very definition of a straightforward soundtrack, neither enthralling nor disappointing, neither boosting the movie sonically nor is it so bad so as to degrade the movie even further.
