Ethan Gilsdorf Boston Globe Despite us tagging along the trail for days, we feel closer to the landscape than to the characters. Rated: 2/4 Jun 10, 2011 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Meticulously paced, methodical in the way it delivers its information, this film isn't so much scary as it is deeply disconcerting, everything moving towards a somewhat inevitable conclusion that had me nonetheless squirming. Rated: 3/4 Jun 3, 2011 Full Review G. Allen Johnson San Francisco Chronicle "Yellowbrickroad" is without personality. It's competently made, but the cast and direction are just bland. Rated: 1/4 Jun 2, 2011 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy What hurts the picture is its insistence on dragging The Wizard of Oz into its thematic DNA. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 14, 2022 Full Review Scott Weinberg TheHorrorShow A well-shot, multi-dimensional, and unexpectedly cerebral little horror story. Aug 24, 2015 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed A disturbing and unsettling bit of word to the wise that sometimes the unsolvable should remain unsolved...

k m 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review nek n 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/20/25 Full Review M X 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. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/12/25 Full Review FAUSTO A 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 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/25 Full Review Adam S 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/07/24 Full Review Logan D 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review Read all reviews
