Plot: A year after Jesse and Nicole vanish, US Corporal Tom Hilts ventures off with girlfriend, Marilyn, and best friend, Jared, to find the missing couple. But things turn sour when the man in the yellow truck begins to hunt them down.
Review: Jaimie Alexander didn't return to fill in the shoes of Nicole Carrow for this movie, but Joey Mendicino does returned as tortured soul, Jesse Hilts. At least that's a plus, right?
Maybe it's because some sequels don't work. Or maybe it's because when introducing the origins of the man in the yellow truck and the family in the Winnebago, it sort of creates an air of confusion. No matter how much the first movie was worth a viewer's while, this one completely bombed.
Julie Mond, who takes the place of Alexander in the film, recreates Nicole with horrible acting, expressionless remarks and fails to keep the three-dimensional character that was created in the first part. Richard Tillman, as older brother Tom, does his best, but in the end Tom is unbelievable, unloveable and downright a shell of what could've been done.
Sequels to movies like Rest Stop don't work, never have and never will. Because sadistic killers who kill for the pleasure of killing, shouldn't be given a deeper reasoning. One should leave it to the Hollywood elitists and take pleasure in the fact that your movies don't suck as much as theirs. Got it, John Shiban?
