The Worst Film Ever

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

I am shocked and confused by such a low rating (4.7 at this time).I am a huge horror fan and have been avidly watching horror movies since I was (probably) way too young for them (by the western standards).After seeing so many horror movies throughout my life, it is really hard for me to be surprised, scared, or intrigued.Yellowbrick road has scared me and scarred me. Some scenes from it I shall never forget.It was subtle at first so the shock effect that came later was profound.Although I am leaving a comment here for people to read,I suggest that if you want to get scared or surprised, do not read the reviews, plot, summary or even keywords.Not just for this movie, but ever.Especially for horror movies.Take a chance.Go into it fresh and with no expectations.In time, you will overcome your need to predict events and twists.I understand that we are all different with different set of experience, emotions or traumas, and what is scary to one, may be ridiculous to the other; I myself don't know precisely what scares me and what will have effect on me.Our fear changes in time and we overcome fear of the dark, bogeyman, serial killer movies, spiders, scary children, ghosts - at some point.I gave this movie an 8, which I rarely ever do, especially for horror movies.This movie is highly underrated and deserves a second watching.Preferably alone, in the dark, with the headphones or good sound system. Don't be afraid to get scared :) I would watch it again (really difficult with horror movies) and I would pay to do so. Great horror movie!Would like to see a sequel.

If you liked Blair Witch Project (1999) they told me then you should watch Yellow Brick Road. So I did and at the end, so far no flick has beaten Blair Witch and this flick here doesn't do it neither.When in the '40's a whole town's, Friar, population disappeared it was never explained why and the road towards it was closed by the cops until the moment that an official expedition is out to find what happened with that particular town. Once in the woods they do hear a song, they recognize it, it's from Wizard Of Oz (1939). But the music becomes louder and louder and slowly they all go insane. It even goes that far that one girl is being killed by a member. That's the best part of this flick.What this flick is really about is screaming and yelling and crying and eating berries let that be what happens for almost the whole flick. Sure they all are going to die somehow but I found it rather boring. The sounds of Blair Witch did work and gave it an eery atmosphere but here it didn't work. The long walk in the wood isn't interesting enough to keep you watching it, I understand a lot of geeks will turn it off. And then there's of course the ending. You love it or you hate it it's just surreal. Gore 1/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 0/5

The only thing disturbing about this movie is that someone actually agreed to make it. I understand that it's an independent film, written, directed, and starring first timers, but anyone who read this script had to have known it just wouldn't work! Don't get me wrong, the story they had was extremely solid, and they could have taken it in a million different directions, any other direction than the one they took. The story starts 70 years ago, when an entire town randomly decides to follow a path into the woods and are never heard from again. The FBI investigated, covered up whatever they found, and kept the whole area off limits, until a random group of people decide to investigate for themselves and write a book about their experiences. First of all, this group of people have no connection to the town, people, or even each other, so why do this? Second, for 70 years the FBI has kept the area off limits to everyone, so what makes this group so special? These idiots march into the woods and the only thing they find is music playing, music that gets progressively louder until it drives them insane. The music is from the Wizard of Oz, but the producers were too cheap to buy the rights to the music from the Wizard of Oz, so it's very similar melodies with different words that nearly drove me to insanity. These idiots romp through the woods makes the Blair Witch Project look like an Oscar worthy film by comparison. It's a lot of talking, and crying, and yelling, that leads to an ending that is by far one of the dumbest things I have ever seen. The ending is the strangest part of all, in that it builds up and plays like it's some huge twist, which maybe it would have been had it made any sense at all. The acting was terrible, the direction was all over the place, and the film destroys the story worst than Paula Deen destroyed her career. This is one film you should absolutely avoid!

Having read the reviews, really mixed I thought I'd give it a go, just to sum it up into a short paragraph, some bits of the film were really creepy! Some stuff we haven't seen in horror films before, but that was about it, had the potential to be a classic. Very poor dialog and script, the acting scenes were so short with dialog and was terrible, some scenes were very poorly filmed, so many things in the film that didn't need to be there was just ridiclious! The women with the brunette hair was a brilliant actor! Played her part well, but the biggest kick in the balls was the ending! Sooooo poor! One of the worst endings I have ever seen, was not happy I wasted an hour and so watching it only to be given such a shocking ending as that, DO NOT waste your time if you hate bad endings, didn't make any sense, but the really annoying thing overall was the carrying of the scenes your be here one minute, then somewhere else the next, you think to yourself have I missed like 20 min of what they been saying, ladies and gentleman this is just your typical low budget shite!
