Overview
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.

Viewing Notes
I’m not a person who needs to have every little bit of plot spelled out for him; I can deal with some pretty ephemeral stuff. However, I think YellowBrickRoad could have benefited from a little more explanation. I got it, really I did, but that still didn’t help explain why for me. And without the why, I can’t say I was particularly interested in the characters.
That said, there are some things to like about this movie. The concept is interesting, at least in a theoretical sense, and there are some pretty damn good horrific scenes. Some of the parts I liked best involved the overwhelming barrage of sound that washes over the characters from time to time, threatening to literally rip everything apart. Great sound work there!
