Plot Summary

Gale: Yellow Brick Road is a 2026 American horror fantasy film directed by Daniel Alexander, who co-wrote the screenplay with Matthew R. Ford. Inspired by L. Frank Baum’s classic The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the movie reimagines the familiar world of Oz as a decayed, nightmarish realm whose terrors transcend memory and reality. In this psychological horror twist on the cherished tale, Chloë Crump stars as Emily Gale, Dorothy Gale’s granddaughter, who has spent her life dismissing her grandmother’s stories as old fantasy. But when disturbing visions intensify, and the boundary between past and present unravels, Emily is pulled toward a shadowy version of Oz, where familiar faces are fractured, familiar paths are twisted, and the yellow brick road leads to unspeakable horrors. The cast also includes Karen Swan as Dorothy Gale, Laura Kay Bailey, Hassan Taj, Dara Abasuté, and Sarah Feltham in supporting roles. Produced by independent companies including Chilling, Daniel Alexander Films, Maggy Road Pictures, and Pretty Hate Productions, and distributed by Fathom Entertainment, the film was released in U.S. theaters as a one-night-only special engagement on February 11, 2026. Designed for fans of dark reinterpretations and psychological horror grounded in mythic fantasy, Gale: Yellow Brick Road turns the beloved classic on its head, exploring legacy, memory, and the shadows that linger at the edges of wonder and fear.
