Dread and Epic Pictures have released the official trailer for the upcoming sci-fi thriller THE FARE, as well as exclusive stills ahead of its November release. The sophomore feature from director D.C. Hamilton stars Gino Anthony Pesi (Shades of Blue) and screenwriter Brinna Kelly, who reteams with Hamilton following their work on his directorial debut The Midnight Man (2016).

When a charming woman named Penny (Kelly) climbs into his taxi, Harris (Pesi) finds himself entranced. That is, right up until she disappears from the back seat without a trace. As he desperately tries to make sense of what happened, he resets his meter and is instantly brought back to the moment she first climbed into his cab. He and Penny find themselves trapped in an endlessly looping ride that changes their lives forever.

The Fare (2019) Official Trailer

It’s low-budget alright, but the cinematography is aesthetically pleasing and the shift between the black-and-white and color scheme could add an interesting element to the overall story. But it’s ultimately just another time warp film like Groundhog Day and Happy Death Day, but now taking place in one location. Only time will tell if the script can carry something that simplistic with only two actors (one of whom is also the screenwriter), but I doubt it will be up to par with the recent release of the black-and-white, two-actor counterpart The Lighthouse.

The Fare will be given a limited theatrical release in the coming months, and will land on Blu-Ray and VOD on November 19th, 2019.
