Way Better Than The First!

The first "Rest Stop" was crap, and I didn't expect much from the sequel, but it surpassed the original in terms of everything: acting, gore, suspense. Of course, it had the same WTF? ending as the original did, but I'm sure if this does well it's another sequel set up. I think that Richard Tillman and Jessie Ward were much better performers than the leads in the first film - if they do another installment hopefully they'll come back. What do you think?

I thought the first Rest Stop was better due to Jaimie Alexander

Rob Zombie is one of the greatest directors today

The first was way better IMO, because it has some shock factors that didn't work as well in the second, because we were already expecting that to happen for instance *spoilers* the truck and the driver having supernatural powers, etc...

At least the sequel had better explanations for what was going on.
