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.
