4K UHD Review – Freeway II: Confessions of a Trick Baby

1996's "Freeway" made a little bit of money, just enough to inspire interest in the creation of a sequel. However, the story of Vanessa and her fight against the big bad wolf was complete, with nowhere left to go. Instead of bending settled characters to fit a continuation, writer/director Matthew Bright resurrects his twisted take on fairy tales for "Freeway II: Confessions of a Trick Baby," trading "Little Red Riding Hood" for "Hansel and Gretel," returning to depths of behavioral corruption for another ride of disturbed girls involved in dire situations. Bright has his fixations, and they remain on full display in the follow-up, which offers all sorts of abhorrent situations of protest and survival, only here the budget is smaller, the casting is weaker, and the helmer isn't as careful when trying to disguise his fetishes, making sure the viewing experience is as interminable as possible.
