Sutherland cruises the FREEWAY (Aug 23, 1996) hunting for prey. The film retells Little Red Riding Hood with the big bad wolf as a serial killer hiding behind a mask of respectability, much the way the wolf disguises himself in the fairy tale.

David Lynch was the first to rework a classic tale for his road film called WILD AT HEART (Aug 17, 1990). Lynch sewed in references to the WIZARD OF OZ in his adaption of one section of a Barry Gifford story about Sailor (Nicolas Cage) and Lulu (Laura Dern). Willem DeFoe as Bobby Peru is one of the most sinister scary characters to appear in a Lynch film. Robert Blake in LOST HIGHWAY (Feb 21, 1997) as Mystery Man might slightly trump this role, but just barely.
