Rating: 2/4 -- Despite us tagging along the trail for days, we feel closer to the landscape than to the characters. Full Review

Underwhelming finish explains zilch, but good perfs, atmospherics and use of backwoods locations make Yellowbrickroad an intriguing cipher.

Rating: C+ -- As cheap horror fare goes, YellowBrickRoad emphasizes imagination over gore. This is good, because the gore here is somewhat laughable, while the imagination is just creepy enough to be effective. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/5 -- It's rare these days to see a refreshing approach to backwoods horror, but YellowBrickRoad once again proves that there are still original and terrifying stories lurking in nature. Full Review

In the end, YellowBrickRoad is just another pathway for people who go into the woods, go crazy, and get killed. Full Review

A disturbing and unsettling bit of word to the wise that sometimes the unsolvable should remain unsolved... Full Review

The film is caught in the fatal demographic desert between the Scream and Baghead crowds -- neither funny nor quirky enough to sustain interest during its long march. Full Review

Product Description:

A handful of scientists trying to unravel a mystery discover a terror beyond their wildest nightmares in this thriller from directors Andy Mitton and Jesse Holland. Friar, NH, is a small town with a bizarre history; in 1940, the 572 people who lived there all left their homes and marched up a mountain trail never to return. When a search party led by the military was conducted months later, some of the missing townspeople were discovered brutally murdered while others froze to death, but the majority were never found. The search party's final report was classified, but a team of university historians and anthropologists has obtained a copy of their findings and travels to Friar in hopes of charting the mysterious lost trail. Most of the people of Friar treat the long-ago disappearance as some sort of urban legend and most flatly refuse to discuss it with the visitors, but one eccentric woman says she knows how to find the trail, and will show them where it is if she's allowed to tag along. The researchers agree, and they set out along the head of the trail, marked by a stone with the legend "YellowBrickRoad." As they climb farther up the mountain, they hear a faint music that grows louder with each step, and a collective madness begins to overtake them as they come closer to the place where the people of Friar met their fate. YELLOWBRICKROAD was an official selection at the 2010 Slamdance Film Festival.
