Rest Stop, directed by Roseanne Liang, is an interesting blend of comedy and crime that plays with the tension of isolation. The atmosphere is thick with dread, yet there's an odd sense of humor that creeps in at unexpected moments. The pacing feels deliberate, almost like a slow burn, leading to a series of chaotic events that spiral out of control. The practical effects stand out, adding a layer of rawness to the film's more absurd moments. Performances are a mixed bag β some actors really lean into the absurdity, while others play it more straight, which creates a unique dynamic. It's definitely a quirky piece, and I find its oddball take on genre conventions both refreshing and memorable.
