new hampshire woods murder new england dismemberment lost in the woods

Plot summary

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.

Sigh...

OK, Im just going to give this a average rating. If you read everyone else's posts on this site or any other they all seem to follow the same exact feeling. Was good, got you thinking, have to know what the heck is going on.. here it comes here it comes and.. Huh? Who is that guy? What?Want to make this movie better? Just turn it off RIGHT before the main character walks into the theater at the end. It could be the olé nobody knows still what happened in those woods.. just that something did. I bet a lot of people would be miffed from no answers but could accept that the mystery goes on better than this ending. You could just take the similarities between the group from 70 years ago and paste them to the authors team. Ending it with him just walking on.. Like the guy they interviewed in the 40's. might not be the answer we want but makes a heck of a lot more sense than this ending. So let me try to break this down from my mind to text.I guess this movie is supposed to make you go mad just like the characters in it. Keeping in mind that we do not have any clue about what happened to these people JUST like they did not have a clue what happened to the people 70 years ago.Some of us cant figure out what is going on and just snap, our rage takes over and we just kill the movie with words and bad reviews. Like dude one kills his sister.Others of us figure lets get wasted maybe whatever is going on will make more sense. Like the berry eaters.Some of us try to rationalize it for so long but still just has to give up. Like dude who kills himself.Some of us are like both of the above. get wasted watch it all the way till the end.. then just give up and decide to just get more wasted to forget and drift off. Like the girl with the Berry OD.Then some of us have to just watch the entire thing to find the answers following the trails looking for answers on the web or writing reviews trying to make sense of everything but finding nothing. Like last guy.Then to top it off you might even be so much like the last guy you end up watching the movie again and reliving the "what is going on" feeling over and over. Like end of the movie. Ya feel me???

Flawed but interesting

The plot: In the 1940s, an entire town inexplicably follows a path into the wilds of New Hampshire, where they find death and madness. Later, a modern day team of researchers seek to discover what really happened.YellowBrickRoad is one of the best "flawed but interesting" horror movies I've seen in a while. It's frustrating to many viewers, because it seemingly promises one set of genre conventions (such as a slasher or scifi thriller), yet delivers something radically different (more akin to the Blair Witch Project, without the "found footage" gimmick). YBR is very subtle -- perhaps too subtle. Many questions are never explicitly answered, because the writers apparently find the questions irrelevant or unimportant. Instead, it focuses on subtle themes, which hint at vague answers. If this sounds frustrating, then I'd avoid YBR. It might take multiple viewings to make much sense of this movie.YBR is a pastiche of rather obvious influences, chiefly the Blair Witch Project and 60s/70s horror. It will also probably appeal to fans of Lovecraft, given the themes of unknowable evil, the frailty of sanity and civilization, and the danger of obsessively searching for answers to unanswerable questions. Fans of modern horror franchises, such as Saw or Hostel, will probably be bored.
