New artwork for Andy Mitton and Jesse Holland’s Yellow Brick Road hits the net

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

Andy Mitton and Jesse Holland’s Slamdance hit, YELLOW BRICK ROAD, is still trying to find distribution but in the meantime they managed to toss their first piece of artwork for the film up on the internet. 

Bloody-Disgusting reports on the artwork. You can check out a part of the poster down below and if you’re interested in seeing more just click on the image and visit the site with the entire piece. So what do we have here anyway? A knife to the throat? A kid tripping on forest shrooms? Man, this poster does it’s job nicely! I’m feeling like this is some kind of motion poster. Here I am staring at the screen and waiting for the blade to run it’s course. Unfortunately, no cigar. We’ll just have to settle on waiting for the flick instead. 

That’s what you get when you watch horror flicks on your spare time. Take a peek at the synopsis to get some more insight into what the heck is going on here:

“One Morning in New England, 1940, the entire population of Friar New Hampshire – 572 people – walked together up a winding mountain trail and into the wilderness. They left behind their clothes, their money, all of their essentials. Even their dogs were abandoned, tied to posts and left to starve. No One knows why. A search party dispatched by the U.S. Army eventually discovered the remains of nearly 300 of Friar’s evacuees. Many had frozen to death. Others were cruelly and mysteriously slaughtered. The bodies of the remaining citizens are still unaccounted for. Over the years, a quiet cover-up operation managed to weave the story of Friar into the stuff of legends and backwoods fairy tales. The town has slowly repopulated, but the vast wilderness is mostly untracked, with the northern-most stretches off limits to local hunters and loggers. In 2008, the coordinates for the “YELLOWBRICKROAD” trail head were declassified. The first official expedition into a dark and twisted wilderness will attempt to solve the mystery of the lost citizens of Friar…and reach the end of the trail.”

A recipe for interest? I do believe so. So far there is no other piece of info attached to this but at least we know it’s on it’s way to other releases. This should be a crowd pleaser, but that’s just me talking. Any movie that features expeditions gone wrong is OK in my book. The idea of an entire population just vanishing like that also gives me the willies. Granted, it’s not your unnerved kind of willies but just an interest of knowing what the heck happened to those people in that forest? You can say this feeling’s a bit similar to my reaction to the CATFISH trailer. This is October anyway and the jitters and willies are only the beginning to hopefully a great month.

Then again there’s not much coming out this year. Oh well, time to slip in SESSION 9 and call it a bum Halloween again!
