YellowBrickRoad

Despite it looking like a grassroots film with no budget and no actors who know how to tweek, a precursory event that could have been fleshed out more, a lack of a purpose to the current story, and camera angles that weren’t wild enough for what it was rying to convey... possibly... maybe... if the two came together nicely in the end... but they didn’t. At least it was coherent.

Stumbled across this film and was pleasantly surprised. It's a slow burn up to the 40 minute mark, when it suddenly gets a very violent scene but then settles back into more of a mystery horror. I stayed with it because I love anything lovecraftian and this is definitely in that genre. I was a bit disappointed with the ending but I've only just finished watching it and maybe it's like a David Lynch film and I'll see more clues after a second watch. However I think it's left up to viewer to interpret their own narrative.

The mystery element and the implication of some kind of folk horror at the beginning was far more tantalizing than the gradual savage madness that followed.

This movie annoyed me so much this is my first ever review on RT. The plot is interesting, a town full of people decide to walk up a trail in the 40s, they seemingly lose their minds, 60 years later an expedition is organised to find out why they all walked up the Yellow Brick Road. As they venture forth into their journey, eery music, seemingly carried by the wind can be heard by all forcing them to rationalise from being an act of god to natural amphitheatre. Slowly the troup start to act unusual and terrible things befall the group as they venture further up the trail. Where it all fell apart for me was the ending, the final 6 or 7 minutes completely take all the terror from the unknown powers or effects of the trail and turn it into a standard ghost encounter. What a waste. Do yourself a favour if you decide to watch, turn the movie off when you see the main man crawling through the grass, that's where it should have ended, leaving everything about the YellowBrickRoad a mystery, as it should be.

Now this is a great film anybody else saying it's not are people that are more into films like Emilia Perez and consider it a master piece, the get scared whith movies like Megan

Had high hopes for this movie. But I found it boring with no sense of direction and no real feel of a ending to this film.

Bunch of amateur filmmakers decide to investigate the trail on which an entire town either died or disappeared hiking. Boring methodical film with no sense of direction nor answers to it's premise. It's just bland. Not recommended.

The actors were reasonably capable for an Indie movie, and might have done even better with a less generic script. But I found the camera work and editing choices distracting. The story didn't seem to come to a meaningful resolution.

Un grupo de gente caminando por hora y media mientras (mal) actúa que esta perdiendo la cabeza todo para entregar un final, que es la única herramienta que tiene la película para mas o menos defenderse y que así y todo, termina decepcionando por ser asqueroso. Pésima.

This has nothing to do The Wizard Of Oz at all. The acting wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. It caught my attention but only because I was waiting for a hint of Wizard of Oz. But I wouldn't watch it again.
