Product Description

Synopsis

A streetwise teenager escapes from care when her parents are jailed. Hitching a lift she falls in company with a man claiming to be a child psychologist. Later she realises that he's the latest highway serial killer.


From the Back Cover

Vanessa is a streetwise 16 year old, a kid with attitude who's never far from trouble. When her parents are hauled off to jail the authorities have no option but to lock her up to...but Vanessa has other plans and armed with a handgun, hits the road. Forced to take a lift from a charming tsranger who cllaims he's a child psychologist, it's not long before Vanessa opens up and begins to share the intimate secrets of her troubled past. The pair get along fine until, with mounting horror, Vanessa realises she's riding with the so-called 'I-10 Killer' - a serial murderer who prowls the freeways. Shooting her way out of the car she leaves the bullet riddled psychopath for dead, only to be arrestedhours later and charged with his attempted murder. Awaiting trial in prison hell, Vanessa realises no-one will believe her side of the story. She vows to escape, little realising that on the outside the 'I-10 Killer' is waiting....hell-bent on bloody retribution.

3.0 out of 5 stars An excellent film compromised by sloppy transfer to DVD, 5 Jun 2002
This review is from: Freeway [DVD] [1996] (DVD)
A classic modern interpretation of Little Red Riding Hood, Matthew Bright manages to both shock and charm by turns. Keifer Sutherland and Reese Witherspoon supply compelling performances as the teacher come serial killer and the not-so-innocent schoolgirl runaway. My only gripe is the sloppy manner the DVD was put together. No anamorphic widescreen picture - just a badly cropped regular cut. The soundtrack is generally flat and the sleeve notes can't even get the name of the serial killer right (calling him the I-10 killer rather than the I-5 killer - picky I know, but indicative of the lack of care which has gone into producing this disc). I'd give the film 5 stars quite happily, but not in this release format.

4.0 out of 5 stars LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD GONE BAD, 18 Jan 2001
This review is from: Freeway [DVD] [1996] (DVD)
This film is an adult spin on the Little Red Riding Hood tale and Reese witherspoon is excellent as our heroine(as are all the other characters). Reese's mother and stepfather end up in jail so off goes reese to her grandmothers, which is not as easy as it sounds!!! On her way she encounters some truly sick and twisted characters. This film is not for all tastes but if you like your films with plenty of violence,sex and anything else you may wish for then this is for you! I loved this film not only because of the violence and humour but because also everyone involved in making this film seemed %110 dedicated. Buy it but keep telling yourself its only a fairytale..its only a fairytale!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, excellent...and excellent, 29 April 2006
By Oz (Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Freeway [DVD] [1996] (DVD)
There is nothing bad about this movie at all. Not a damn thing. Witherspoon is amazing as the hardened 'red riding hood' Vanessa, escaping the Government child-support system that has treated her badly to go in search of her grandmother. Keifer Sutherland's calm, necrophile serial killer 'big bad wolf' Bob Wolverton is entertaining and believable. Also, Brittany Murphy as a slightly deranged lesbian that Vanessa meets in a youth prison was great fun to watch. The story is fast-paced, full of action and even more laughs but definitely not for the faint-hearted. Several scenes in which Vanessa is battling the evil Wolverton are graphic but fun. The humour is very dark but this movie is just so entertaining, I'd recommend it to just about everyone.
