Moviegoers are saying
This ambitious Wizard of Oz horror reimagining divides audiences with its bold vision of generational trauma set in a dark Oz, but suffers from glacial pacing that tests even devoted genre fans' patience. While the practical effects and costume design earn genuine praise—particularly the menacing Wheelers and Patches character—the film's 'excruciatingly slow' dialogue delivery and repetitive jump scares overshadow its emotional core about elderly Dorothy and her granddaughter.

    Excruciatingly slow paced, particularly the first 45 minutes or so. Every line of dialogue is delivered painfully slow as well as if that somehow makes the film creepier. (It doesn’t). Overuses the dream sequence fake out jump scare in those first 45 minutes also. When we…

    "Madness would be kinder." At least you tried. I enjoyed the short, which acted as a proof of concept, and looked forward to the bigger picture. But I don't think the director was able to achieve it. It ended up being disjointed and confusing as it kept jumping around.…

    'Gale: Yellow Brick Road' is a spooky homage to Baum's classic tales grounded by a contemporary exploration of generational trauma (yay!) and resultant mental health struggles. Much like my recent positive experience with Markiplier's directorial debut 'Iron Lung,' I was…

    This idea sounds so killer, elderly Dorothy, in a mental hospital, tries to stop her granddaughter from being pulled into evil Oz. But, this movie was not made by professionals. No element of this production is even remotely competent. It's a shame.

    Gale: Yellow Brick Road

    I wanted to love this film. I loved the original short film they made to get funding. I wish they would have continued that for this one. The pacing in this was just so slow. It just kind of dragged. I was meh on it until the third act which was decent enough to get it to like but barely. I have no…
