About this episode

The episode discusses the dark and twisted film 'FREEWAY' and its characters.

This week I am joined by my pal Mario DeAngelis of Salty Horror Productions to discuss the dark and twisted film - FREEWAY. Following the arrest of her mother, Ramona (Amanda Plummer), young Vanessa Lutz (Reese Witherspoon) decides to go in search of her estranged grandmother. On the way, she is given a ride by school counselor Bob Wolverton (Kiefer Sutherland). During the journey, Lutz begins to realize that Bob is the notorious I-5 Killer and manages to escape by shooting him several times. Wounded but still very much alive, Bob pursues Lutz across the state in this modern retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. What are your thoughts on this film??
