YellowBrickRoad (2010)


Genre: Supernatural
Director: Jesse Holland, Andy Mitton
Country: USA
Series: Bloody Disgusting Selects
Availability: Netflix Watch Instantly

YellowBrickRoad is a fragile horror movie built with a foundation of tension, confusion, disbelief and despair. The less you know about this movie going in, the more chance you’ll have to truly be affected by the intended experience of the film. And the experience is what makes this little indie horror movie such a gem. Don’t expect shocks and gore, and don’t anticipate brilliance. Instead just sit back and allow the movie to take you on a journey that will hopefully worm its way into your brain so that for days after you sometimes find yourself still there. A riveting and chilling movie with stark imagery and a handful of gruesome moments, this movie kept me waiting for the other shoe to drop, and when it did I was totally confused but satisfied by its complete weirdness. It's slow going at times and at one point I felt like I'd been watching it forever. But if you can muster the patience you will be rewarded with a unique and odd horror flick. Highly recommended.

4 out of 5 stars
