About this listen
“I’m pissed off and the whole world owes me.”
We’re taking a look at one of the all-time best cult classics on this week’s episode of The Blind Rage Podcast!
In FREEWAY, Matthew Bright’s delightfully twisted reinterpretation of “Little Red Riding Hood,” we’re introduced to Vanessa Lutz (Reese Witherspoon in one of her best roles), a teenage felon from the wrong side of the tracks. After her mother (Amanda Plummer) is arrested for prostitution, Vanessa decides she’s going to start over by relocating to her grandmother’s trailer in upstate California. On the freeway, her car breaks down, but she is quickly rescued by Bob Woverton (Kiefer Sutherland), a social worker who aids troubled juveniles and portrays himself as her savior.
After a long line of manipulative questions meant to let Vanessa drop her guard, Bob reveals his true identity. He is actually a razor-wielding predator known as The I-5 Killer, and his preferred victims are young girls just like Vanessa.
