Despite us tagging along the trail for days, we feel closer to the landscape than to the characters.

YellowBrickRoad
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.

"Yellowbrickroad" is without personality. It's competently made, but the cast and direction are just bland.
G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
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.
Tom Long, Detroit News
Rotten
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.
Brian Miller, Village Voice
Fresh
Co-writer/directors Jesse Holland and Andy Mitton miss as many opportunities as they develop here, but they maintain the mystery and ratchet up suspense like seasoned pros.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
