Yellow Brick Road (film)



Yellow Brick Road is a 2010 Horror Film. In 1940 the entire population of Friar, New Hampshire spontaneously walked into the forest surrounding the town. Rescuers recovered a single deranged survivor but the rest of the townsfolk either disappeared entirely or else were found dead of exposure or various acts of violence. 70 years later, a husband and wife explorer team have been seeking access to the official records of the incident to no avail. When the records are unexpectedly released, they quickly organize a team of scientists and set off in search of the secret behind an entire town's self-destruction.

This film provides examples of:

 * Ax Crazy :
 * Brown Note: Shortly after  the omnipresent music seems to actively attack the campers, distorting into continual white noise that nearly incapacitates them.
 * Chekhov's Gun:
