In the 1940s, every soul from the tiny town of Friar, New Hampshire walked into the surrounding woods and disappeared. A few hundred were found frozen to death, many were found ruthlessly slaughtered, but the majority vanished without a trace.
Fast forward 70 years. A group of researchers, enamoured of the story, decide to follow the trail, labeled "Yellowbrickroad" by the locals of the re-inhabited town. What they encounter is mysterious, brutal, and frightening.
This movie isn't a gorefest. It's slow, deliberately paced, working up to a conclusion that will leave you speechless. Yes, there is blood. There is torture. There is inexplicable violence. But it comes when you least expect it.
And then there's the music.
This movie reminded me of Blair Witch in the fact that the terror doesn't come with a knife-wielding maniac. It's psychological, and you'll find yourself trying to reason with it long after you've viewed it. That's why my recommendation is that you:
