About the Book
The film "Freeway" is loosely based on the classic fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood," but it does not directly adapt a specific book. Instead, it draws inspiration from the themes and narrative structure of the fairy tale, reimagining it in a modern, crime-filled setting.Author
Since "Freeway" is not directly based on a specific book, there is no single author to credit. The film's screenplay was written by Matthew Bright, who creatively adapted the elements of the fairy tale into a contemporary story.Film's Correspondence to the Book
While "Freeway" does not correspond to a specific book, it takes significant creative liberties with the "Little Red Riding Hood" fairy tale. The film uses the basic premise of a young girl encountering a dangerous predator but places it in a gritty, urban environment. The characters and plot are original creations by Matthew Bright, making the film a unique interpretation rather than a faithful adaptation of any existing book.

Friends comments and ratings
A funny dark film with a taste of "Little Red Riding Hood", excessively uncomfortable in places, but mostly funny. Kiefer Sutherland looks great as a pedophile (a strange compliment, of course), Reese Witherspoon didn’t really fit the role, but at least she tried. Not boring, dirty trash.
