Synopsis

In the Fall of 1940, the entire population of Friar, New Hampshire walked together up a winding mountain trail and into the wilderness. Without warning, they left behind everything: their homes, their clothes, and their money. The only clue where they went was a single word etched into stone near the forest’s edge: YELLOWBRICKROAD.

clareparkinson788 The movie is about a group of people who walk a trail and go missing, so another group of people walk the trail to find out what happened. Pretty simple plot. However despite the movie being laid out as a horror, there really is no narrative. No story line as such. It is more a metaphorical look at how we constantly strive to reach the unattainable. There is not a lot of focus on the script, instead the score provides more insight into what the characters are going through and it works well. I had a hard time rating this movie, I really loved what they were trying to do but I felt it was missing a little something. Perhaps because the ending felt a little unrewarding. Definitely worth the watch if you like something a little different, but not for everybody.
alettahendrikx I really enjoyed this movie. Saw it twice within a month and it still leaves me with questions. Not an average horror movie but still some blood in it. As a group filmmakers sets for the woods behind a movie theater, to find out what happened to a whole town that died in the wilderness, they are up for some disorientation.The setting, but also the old, yet slightly disturbing music, makes this movie a classic in its own, small genre. The themes from the Wizard of Oz comes in quit more then you think. I absolutely loved this one. Also reminded me in some way of the Shining.If you like this one, go for Triangle as well.
Aleksa I am shocked and confused by such a low rating (4.7 at this time).I am a huge horror fan and have been avidly watching horror movies since I was (probably) way too young for them (by the western standards).After seeing so many horror movies throughout my life, it is really hard for me to be surprised, scared, or intrigued.Yellowbrick road has scared me and scarred me. Some scenes from it I shall never forget.It was subtle at first so the shock effect that came later was profound.Although I am leaving a comment here for people to read,I suggest that if you want to get scared or surprised, do not read the reviews, plot, summary or even keywords.Not just for this movie, but ever.Especially for horror movies.Take a chance.Go into it fresh and with no expectations.In time, you will overcome your need to predict events and twists.I understand that we are all different with different set of experience, emotions or traumas, and what is scary to one, may be ridiculous to the other; I myself don't know precisely what scares me and what will have effect on me.Our fear changes in time and we overcome fear of the dark, bogeyman, serial killer movies, spiders, scary children, ghosts - at some point.I gave this movie an 8, which I rarely ever do, especially for horror movies.This movie is highly underrated and deserves a second watching.Preferably alone, in the dark, with the headphones or good sound system. Don't be afraid to get scared :) I would watch it again (really difficult with horror movies) and I would pay to do so. Great horror movie!Would like to see a sequel.
utgard14 Pretentious amateur attempt at an ambiguous horror movie. I hate crap like this. It's not intelligent. It's not thought-provoking. It's not original. The filmmakers wanted so badly for it to be a memorable and enigmatic film that they forgot to make it a good one. It's a boring chore to sit through that has ZERO scares and no atmosphere. There are a couple of moments you have to laugh at the ineptitude of it but that's the closest thing to a positive reaction it got from me.I only saw this because of Cassidy Freeman, who I was familiar with from Smallville. Being the only person with any "name" in the cast, she is advertised as though she were the star. She most definitely is not. She's in a minor supporting role and is killed off fairly early. But she provides this boring mess of a film's only highlight: the most ridiculous death scene in movie history. I can't believe they were serious with that. Avoid this garbage at all costs.
