Adult Swim Yule Log Ratings & Reviews
- Kevin WardJuly 4, 2025Another double booked airbnb horror trope with unpredictably wild twists and turns. By my count, that’s the third one of 2022. This one is entertaining in just how zany some of it gets. To say more would be a bit too spoilery, which kind of ruins the main appeal. The plot and through-lines get a bit muddled due to a rather unique manner of stitching the pieces together. I think a different approach to the edit could have made the overall narrative work a bit better. However, that also might have detracted some of the uniqueness and bat-shit-craziness that Yule Log brings. Not necessarily a must see, definitely worth checking out.

- jackmeatDecember 24, 2024My quick rating - 6.5/10. Holy crap, was this a chaotic, campy, and wildly inventive horror-comedy that transforms the comforting tradition of a crackling fireplace into a full-blown surrealist nightmare. What starts as an innocuous yule log feed unravels into a multi-layered story that’s part slasher, part supernatural thriller, and part absurdist comedy. The film centers on a couple and a group of podcasters who find themselves double-booked at a secluded cabin that quickly spirals into an unpredictable frenzy of blood and strange chaos. I wasn't familiar with the leads of this one but Andrea Laing playing Zoe and Justin Miles as Alex did just fine in being believable while still keeping a straight face during the insanity. Evil forces—including a murderous log (yes, really)—turn this cozy holiday setting into a battleground of bizarre mayhem. Clearly inspired by The Cabin in the Woods, the movie embraces its over-the-top premise with a knowingly campy tone, leaning into its absurdity while delivering enough gore to satisfy horror fans. It doesn’t aim to terrify but rather to entertain, and it succeeds by offering a rollercoaster of unexpected twists and a “kitchen sink” approach to horror tropes. The film has fun with its limitations, turning what could have been a gimmick into a full-fledged experience. The roaming killer log is ridiculous in the best way, setting the tone for a story where almost anything feels possible. For those who appreciate horror with a playful side, this film is a blast. With its unique blend of humor, horror, and sheer audacity, this movie is a must-watch for fans of offbeat genre experiments. And with a sequel already available, it’s the perfect time to dive into this insane holiday horror universe.
