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.

This is very clearly one of those films made by someone who DOESNT like horror films, but is using them to make some sort of "point" about Christianity. Using a lame horror trope to push ideas as if any of this is reality lol. They also (surprise!) use sexuality to draw you in by putting the female lead in the tightest possible shirt with the worlds best push up bra. It's all very see-through and awful. Since the plot only exists to push Christian ideas, it obviously is full of holes and nonsense and showing you the same things over and over again. One character literally dies twice. Just amazingly bad, clearly no one involved cared about anything but spreading religious disease. Even with showing you the same things 2 or 3 times, the film mercifully only comes in at 80 minutes. They got the cheapest car in the world, used a location that cost literally nothing, and you won't care about any of it.

So, I juts watched this movie and I was like: "I've seen the 2023 down quality version of 'Reeker'" Reeker is a 2005 movie, with a sequel 'No man's Land' in 2008. IT HAVE ALMOST THE SAME PLOT AND EXACTLY THE SAME PLOT TWIST. I've read people calling "The Fearway" something in the lines of "Jeepers creepers meet Duel". NO ONE REMEMBERS NONE OF BOTH REEKER'S MOVIES?? A lot of things, even if you haven't seen those two, are predictable since the beginning, "Oh, she's..." or "Ah,fork... those two are..." and I'm being vague, because you can fill the phrase with whatever you want in, and you'll guess everything that happen. I knew how it would end since the two leading "hit" something on the road, get out of the car and they found "Ice". And it runs 1 hour and 17 mins. With ending credits (still felt too long) What's different here from 'Reeker'? SPOILER ALERT: The bar/rest place is a management site in between "worlds" , where the people who works there (and made a deal?) are connected to High Authority (name the Gods or the Moiras or whomever you want) and it have the weaker end I've seen. It was absolutely bland. The acting is not bad, the actors do what they can with what they got. But there are three characters in minor subplot that were wasted, they were very good. The Hunter was amazing, but (sadly) reminded me of The Creeper. The actor did pretty good though. But the manager character was ... damn,I don't have a quality name for someone who's absolutely negated and contradicts himself between lines in the same scene. The two leadings, as said, are good, but lack chemistry, sadly. And the age gap is more than evident, so line drop that they knew each other since high school (I don't recall exactly, but he says so) is not good. I didn't understand why it was kept in script if you cast two leads with more than 10/15 years gap. Subplots were wasted as well, specially the thing in the room. So, here I go. The best: good use of the desert and locations. Technically is pretty cool. The Hunter was fine, loved the actor. The bad: script, the non coherent dialogue at time, the underused actors and subplots, and the ending. The worst: the unoriginality. Rate 5/10 (because I liked the Hunter and the film the technical parts). I'll not recommend, I prefer "Reeker" hundred times. Watch at your own risk. We are all critics, but you have to watch to make a critic.

But I watched it anyway and I will regret it for the rest of my life. The dialogue is stilted. There is no chemistry between the stars. There's no claustrophobic effect. They drive around in circles bickering about what to do and when to get married. There were miscellaneous, unrelated characters hanging out in a diner, one of whom was evidently fed to the devil, more than once. The end of the movie tries to roll out the clichés about free will but you can't tell if they live or die. I paid five dollars to watch this movie while I recovered from knee surgery. I'd rather have my other knee operated on than to watch this again.
