YellowBrickRoad Trailers

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.

I was really looking forward to seeing this film as an avid horror film fan but I was extremely disappointed. It definitely isn't a horror film as there is no suspense build up or much of a story line at all. The whole movie was terrible and I don't know how some people have rated it so high unless they worked on the film! The ending was also awful with no real explanation of why any of if had happened. I wish that I hadn't bothered watching it. I didn't like any of the characters that much as you weren't given any background information on them and none of them had ant real personality to relate to they were all pretty boring. Definitely needed to explain the storyline better as it never actually said what was behind it all.

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.

If you liked Blair Witch Project (1999) they told me then you should watch Yellow Brick Road. So I did and at the end, so far no flick has beaten Blair Witch and this flick here doesn't do it neither.When in the '40's a whole town's, Friar, population disappeared it was never explained why and the road towards it was closed by the cops until the moment that an official expedition is out to find what happened with that particular town. Once in the woods they do hear a song, they recognize it, it's from Wizard Of Oz (1939). But the music becomes louder and louder and slowly they all go insane. It even goes that far that one girl is being killed by a member. That's the best part of this flick.What this flick is really about is screaming and yelling and crying and eating berries let that be what happens for almost the whole flick. Sure they all are going to die somehow but I found it rather boring. The sounds of Blair Witch did work and gave it an eery atmosphere but here it didn't work. The long walk in the wood isn't interesting enough to keep you watching it, I understand a lot of geeks will turn it off. And then there's of course the ending. You love it or you hate it it's just surreal. Gore 1/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 0/5

I totally understand why people may not like this. Its clearly low budget, the effects arn't amazing and it is fairly slow at times, run time says something like 96 minutes but it did feel longer for me.The reason I gave this a 10 was to A) balance out the ratings and B) because genuinely I loved it so much I felt I had to get a review on here! Unlike others I liked the characters, they were not teenage douchebags. They were funny at times, they kept my attention and I found them believable. In no way did this movie go down clichéd roads, it kept me guessing. Normally with these type of slow building movies the ending disappoints. For me everything was tied up nicely and despite the fact the film felt as though it dragged the ending totally made it worth If you don't expect too much and have the patience for this type of psychological movie then you may just be rewarded with refreshing, original ideas and a great film that Im very happy to own!
