There, in-between binge/purge marathons with her fellow eating-disordered inmates and relentless harassment of the hapless authorities, she fends off the lesbian advances of her psychotic cellmate, Cyclona (Maria Celedonio), a serial killer who's just received a life sentence. The two escape together and embark on a cross-country road trip in search of Sister Gomez (Vincent Gallo), the beneficent nun who protected Cyclona from the sexual predations of her family during her troubled childhood south of the border. Where writer/director Matthew Bright's original Freeway was a modern retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, Freeway 2 riffs on Hansel and Gretel; it borrows only the trailer-park trappings of the earlier film, making the titular allusion to automobiles somewhat tenuous. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Alan Simpson, Sex Gore Mutants
plays like a psychotic live action cartoon
Clint Morris, Moviehole
Run this over...quick!
Spence D., IGN Movies
Sick, twisted, midnite movie bliss
Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
Takes what worked in the original ... and ignores it.
Rob Gonsalves, eFilmCritic.com
It works on its own snarly, baroque terms.

This movie is so insane that everyone should see it with a dead body. Vincent Gallo plays an old woman (i guess) who makes child porn and then cooks the kids up and eats them in tamales. The main chick breaks out of jail and hooks up with a lesbo prison mate, they kill lots of people and finally end up with Gallo "Sister Gomez", where they have flashbacks of being her child slave and they cook her in an oven, at which time he turns literally into a witch and burns up. Wow.
