We&#8217;ve seen this movie a thousand times already, but that doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s not worthy of a watch as directors Jesse Holland and Andy Mitton put together a classic horror yarn that mixes documentary footage with live action footage.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->From the minute we begin to hear rag time tunes coasting over the midnight air without a source, we begin to see the minds of our cast unraveling inch by inch with every sound emanating from the forest that signals they&#8217;re not only no way closer to finding the wizard, but the wizard may just be their worst nightmares. Teddy Barnes is a historical researcher obsessed with the town of Friar, a small town in the 1940&#8217;s who went in to the woods and never returned. With this healthy obsession and some know how he teams together a group of his own experts. As the expedition nears, the team find themselves as a crossroads constantly, trying to figure out why they&#8217;re so inundated with complications during the trip that seem to mire their progress as they venture deeper in to the woods.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s so remarkable about &#8220;YellowBrickRoad&#8221; is that both directors are capable of turning the wooden landscape in to something of a foreign land, one filled with surprises and always enshrouded with the forties music playing overhead. It taunts them and induces a violent hysteria that culminates in to some of the most violent and demented scenes depicted in an indie film. Parts &#8220;Cube,&#8221; and &#8220;The Blair Witch Project,&#8221; the director&#8217;s own efforts have not gone unnoticed as &#8220;YellowBrickRoad&#8221; is a horror film to look out for, a disturbing and unsettling bit of word to the wise that sometimes the unsolvable should remain unsolved.
