yellow brick road movie review

 Was it scary? that is the question...well the answer, it was for the first 20 minutes then after that the movie just get weirder and weirder...and the final chapter was another disappointment. you see this is why im nt fond of horror movies. I rarely watch them, they dont teach you anything, they just teach you to watch out for the fearful concept and when there is none the movie goes nowhere.  Some of the cast were great actors, however many of them are complete nobodies, i think they have tried to imitate the low budget film paranormal activity but then they just failed.
There are a few good points, like the first concept that they had, was what if there was a god, a certain god waiting for them at the end of the road, only to realize that this particular god does not want them there. The second scary concept was the eerie old music playing, and the chaotic minds of the people in the story. But after that nothing else is new, good or clear. The music was just irritating, if you watched this in a movie house, you would probably be annoyed. The end part was truly annoying, it was not able to explain the existence of the house element and the movie house was completely irrelevant. However, if you will point this out philosophically, then we can gain a few insights... like for example the yellow brick road seems to signify life, that sometimes people follow a path because they are sure that there is an end to it., that after reaching the road they will see something that they like, or they will be given peace, but what if the road understands what needs to happen and the road does not want to take us there....life.if you take it this way then the movie makes sense, but i dont think the writers intended it this way, the ending was just sucky and took the glory out of the film, I give it. a C+
