The movie is an amateurish way to copy several movies like Reeker or Jeepers Creepers. But in a bad way. The movie looks extremely cheap and the script is non existent. The ending is a joke. Nothing new here or interesting.

Is it a good movie? No it is not. Is it entertaining? No, it is predictable. Why the three stars? I really enjoyed watching the Joshua Tree National park settings and the main actress does a good job here. The other one is a tip. A tip because I love independent B cinema.

So, if you're looking for a similar movie I recommend instead of this one, the movie Reeker. More creepy, better Fx's, more original and with more or less the same budget.

The Fearway begins with a couple driving in the desert experiencing an aggressive driver until they pull off at a diner. Then, their trouble starts. They attempt to continue on their way, but somehow they end up back at the diner.

So, this movie attempts to provide some type of horror, but the elements dont create any horrorific moments. Supernatural elements leading to metaphysical pondering. Consider No Exit but quite pedestrian at heart. They dialogue snd plotting tend toward the stilted. I think they filmmakers were trying for mysterious, but instead, they hit upon trite and vague, starting the viewer down the path of pretention.

This film tries to present something greater than what the parts total. Acting is subpar, but earnest. And that doesn't help the production move away from annoying. There is no fear on The Fearway.

The Fearway is the feature length debut from fledgling director Robert Gajic.

It tells the story of a young, soon to be newlywed, couple, who find themselves caught in a loop, surrounded by a handful of seemingly malevolent characters- not all of of which mean to do them harm- while traveling down an isolated stretch of Highway 66.

While trapped in this bizarre experience, they find themselves being chased down by a demonic looking man, driving a black muscle car.

From whom they can't seem to escape.

Their only moments of respite come when they pull off at the Last Chance Rest Stop...where they meet a number of other odd characters.

Eventually, they do manage to put the pieces together, and figure out what is happening to them.

Leaving them to fight for a final chance to escape, what would otherwise be a grim fate.

Unfortunately the acting is pretty mid across the board.

While the storyline is a bit too predictable.

Making the whole experience a bit underwhelming.

But, with that being said...it's a valiant attempt at a first feature.

With some decent moments of cinematography.

Though certainly a film you won't be disappointed with if you miss.

2.5 out of 10.

I had a feeling this was going to be a poor mans Jeepers Creepers and within the first 5 minutes my assumption was a bit stronger but the further I got I realized I was 100% right. I made it maybe 20 minutes in. I honestly have no idea since I stopped the movie and deleted it from my Prime watch history. I don't even want a reminder that I saw any part of this movie.

The Ferry Man looked very low budget and tacky. They couldn't even afford FX. I truly can't believe friends told them that this was a good idea to make, then patted them on the back after making it. Laughable attempt at a horror movie. Truly, what was the idea?

Could've had a V8!

I better recommend the audience to watch the "From" series that has more action and scary makeup than this garbage that has no context. I shouldn't have wasted my time watching this horrible movie when there are so many super well rated movies out there.

I really expected more action, mystery, suspense and so on, I think the Director or the scriptwriter fell short or it's amateurish.

The end however arrives, a real disappointment and never seems to move towards a solution or way to scape like been trapped in ghost town without ghosts jajajajajajjajajaja it was a joke.

I want my money back please !

I thought this film was going to be awful, but it turned out to be more fun than I thought with some nice touches. I did guess the plot twist fairly quickly in, because I have seen other films with a familiar premise, and the hints are there. I thought it was going to be a cheap knock off of films like Jeepers Creepers, especially with the creepy guy. But I'm glad I was wrong about that.

I don't think it's a tense or scary style horror, it's more figure out what is going on mystery/twilight zone type horror. My favourite touch of the film was everyone getting the two coins in the diner.

The budget is not big, but I did notice there were some extremely pretty shots, and the camera work is beautiful. I wish I would have known the story behind the secondary characters more because they clearly have a tale to tell.

It's not big Hollywood Film good, but I thought it had a lot to like.

I've never seen the two actors in the opening scene and I don't think I've even seen their names on any other film, but they are insufferable. The two of them seem to have made up an extremely annoying accent that isn't regional, as far as I can tell, and it isn't an accent from someone who speaks English as an alternate language to their native language. The accent is so phony that I can't take it because it grates on my nerves like the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard.

I was about 3 minutes into this thing when I was almost overcome by the urge to hunt these two idiots down and tape their mouths over. The accent sounds like twinspeak, which, according to the film "Nell", is a language made up by twins, supposedly, and not spoken or understood by anyone else.

I doubt that I will be able to review anything past the first set of scenes since I tuned out early on this. If I do watch more, maybe I can expand on this review later.

It's the story of Ricky gervais look alike who drives in an empty road in the middle of the US with his girlfriend who appears to be half his age, they are hunted down by a maniac. It's basically a poor man version of duel, without a truck

The acting is dreadful, it looks like a high school movie with a script and dialogues written by 12 years olds.

This is ANOTHER one of those pictures that completely lost me somewhere along the road to madness. The road MUST be headed to madness because it surely isn't headed anywhere else. What I think happened was this: someone had been saving money for quite some time...probably the dude that was driving the Charger. When he finally had enough cash to buy the Charger that he wanted...one with (bear with me, I'm not a car guy) the Jailbreak package...or the R/T package or the Scat pack or whatever you call one of those Moon Rockets with a million horse-power!! LOL. Now his "writer" buddy writes a piece of cinema junk around the car. And there you have The Fear Way.

I rated it a two, because the car IS pretty and I bet it's REALLY fast, but that is all it has going for it. As always, Thank You and ENJOY!!!

If you're expecting a Marvel like budget with scary scenes, then forget it. If you want a nice little Twilight Zone type movie with little to no gore or violence, then this is for you. The Fearway is what micro low budget independent filmmaking is all about, and that's not a bad thing. The two leads do a great job (Especially Shannon Dalonzo) despite being a little mismatched. They could have easily done away with the "High School Sweethearts" in the script which isn't very believable. But because they convince the audience they're really in love, it can be forgiven. Perhaps too much dialogue and slow at first but gets interesting once they first arrive at the diner. (Its never clear what happened to the other patrons sitting in there.) The villain is not scary at all, but again that's because of the low budget more than anything else. This scores a home run with some great award caliber cinematography of the desert vistas. The movie could have used at least one really good shock scene, but that never happen. Not a classic by any means, but most independent movies aren't. I've seen a lot worse. Perhaps the best compliment I could give The Fearway is I would watch it again.

Sarah (Shannon Dalonzo) and Michael are driving down Route 66 in the desert. They are being chased by a crazed man driving a black muscle car. They stop at a diner in the middle of nowhere with its cast of characters. Sarah and Michael seem to be in a permanent loop of being chased and stopping at the diner.

The premise is a little interesting and Kafkaesque. I like the general idea of it in theory. Sarah and Michael need to be more in depth. They do need some more car action. The diner could do more. The movie could do more. It's all rather thin. The writing needs to be more to fill out the movie.

A terrific script, excellent acting, competent direction and what do you get? An entertaining film for sci-fi fans and "speculative fiction" aficionados. A trip through the desert gets loopy and existentially dark. Enough said. On Amazon, it's given three (out of five) stars, but it's better than that. I stumbled across it in the seemingly endless queue of suggestions, and was immediately hooked. I had just spent $30 for the latest Insidious film and snacks and left halfway through. Bummed. Let's get the actors and writers back to work to encourage the best work. It's the "smaller" films like Fearway that could be hurt by a lengthy strike; the big guys can afford to sit. Anyway, hoping for a good resolution. In the meantime, check out this flick!

I couldn't shake the feeling that I saw few movies already with this same premise, but I kind of like it overall, so I didn't consider it to be a drawback.

I liked the secondary characters a lot, this might sound strange, but they were actually quite believable and likeable, they really made up a better part of this movie. While main charactres - not so much, I think the biggest miss was with the main actress. And the clothes that the main guy was wearing - felt like a big miss. And finally the biggest miss - their car, haha, big bummer. Probably sponsored by the manufacturer, that why...

The main antagonist as well, was not ideal I think, first of all, I think he should've been made more subtle, they showed him off too much and most of the time he was just following or watching them, it didn't feel like a haunting and he didn't feel scary or terrifying enough. I think they surely could've done a better job with the makeup for him and maybe something more for the eyes to make him look really sinister. And his car as well - although the car selection might be fine this time, it was still too clean and shiny for the purpose... There were some scenes where you could tell its not a bad movie, because characters were acting more realistic then in the most horror movies I've seen, so that's a plus.

I wish they've spent some time to expose the story behind secondary characters, at least just a big, with some subtle message, instead of all these superficial boring talks that main characters had about their past and planned future.

Overall, it's a so-so movie, if you don't come in with high expectations, you might find it enjoyable eventually. I did.

Slobodan Gajic's The Fearway attempts to deliver a supernatural thriller with elements that feel like a nod to Stephen King's mysterious style and echoes of the series From. While the concept of being trapped in an infinite time loop has its inherent intrigue, this film falls short in execution.

The acting is notably bad, with performances that lack depth and fail to engage the viewer emotionally. The plot is far too predictable, making the "twists" feel telegraphed and lacking impact. If you're hoping for surprises, you won't find them here.

That said, the film's simplicity and short runtime (a brisk 81 minutes) work to its advantage. It's a "sit back, expect nothing, and enjoy" kind of movie, provided you're willing to forgive its shortcomings. But for those not into time loops or seeking richer storytelling, skipping The Fearway might be the better option.

Ultimately, it's a film that doesn't demand much from its audience, which can be a double-edged sword. If you're curious and looking for something light, give it a shot. Otherwise, there's little to miss here.

My problem with "Fearway" is not the fact that it is super-low budget, which affects the sub-par casting, sound effects and camera work; it is the lack of attention to details in the story. Couple of examples: unmatching license plates on the front and back of the car. Car being brand new (probably a rental, still have "no smoking" stickers on it) yet the boyfriend refers to it as "it took me a long time to pay for it", the police tells the girl "you and your boyfriend" although she never mentions she has a boyfriend and that doesn't seem weird to her, etc, etc. With all these add up it is very hard to get engaged in the story. Another goof is when they stopped at the side of the road he says "we should call your dad tel him we'll be late" but they have not even decided to even take a break at that point. It basically looks like it was filmed over a weekend with no second takes, whatever made it in the edits - stayed.

The movie keeps dragging along to the point where the big reveal at the end should be completely shocking in order to make it worthwhile, but alas- it is not. It is not scary at all and the overall scenes are disappointing in the sense that they are all flat, somewhat even laughable. The acting is mediocre at best all-around and the casting of the main actors is completely off, they don't look and act the part. If you are expecting a "Jeepers Creepers" vibe movie you will be highly disappointed. It is a big bore-fest.

It will be hard for me to recommend this movie to anyone. Not even good enough to show students, since it cannot even give pointers to new actors or directors, that's the level of badness this firms at. I give 2 stars for the story, since it is a nice idea, which could be made a lot better under the hands of a better crew. There are not many redeeming qualities on this one. I rarely give anything less than 4 stars but in this case it is really does not worth anybody's time. For the writer/director - please give more attention to details next time so people at least see that you cared, otherwise it is just insulting to both you and the audience.

I plan to do Route 66 next year in a Dodge Challenger, which after watching this film is a bit "concerning" The car did look good, but am a Mustang man, as have my baby 2016 CS, fancied something different for Route 66 Unusual to have a English guy in one of these films. And of course he is not 100% out of place in the Diner I mean just look at the clothes Are there "Dead Zones" on Route 66? Rather worrying if there are If I drive along with a UK flag, will the Nutters leave me alone? I won't spoil this rather daft film.

The British bloke is so badly cast, I mean he kept the London accent very well. Surprised it's not raining or he is not in a bowler hate and has a umbrella.

This is one of these films that is just so very bad, but you have to watch till the end as you don't have a cluedo what the ending is. So I suppose in that case it's what's the word "watchable"
