Adult Swim's Yule Log Is The Best Christmas Horror Franchise. Prove Me Wrong.

Adult Swim's Yule Log is proving itself to be one of- if not THE- best Christmas horror franchises out there (move over Silent Night, Deadly Night?).In this (the second) installation, we find ourselves following Zoe- one of the few survivors from the first film- as she tries to navigate life, living with the PTSD that she acquired from her last Christmas experience.Thinking she has been cursed, she goes about her daily business with her comfort ax in hand.Out of fear the murderous log might return to finish off what it failed to do the first time around: kill her.To ameliorate this, her friend suggests that she go to Mexico for Christmas, this time around.But her travel plans are cut short when they crash in the small town of Mistletoe: home of the annual Yule Log festival.Which is unfortunate for the town...because this Hallmark village is about to get a real taste of late night horror.Despite the fact that Santa attempts to send the demon log back from whence it came (presumably, Hell).The whole thing starts off with a gory bang...before going into full Hallmark mode, to the point that you ALMOST forget you are watching a horror film.But don't let that turn you away...because you aren't going to want to miss what they have in store for you (and I'm not talking about cheesey Christmas ornaments)...Because this turns into a full blown Christmas killfest...of some of the most loathesome individuals imaginable.Sure, it's not as heavy hitting...or, well...good as the original.But it's still a pretty fun sequel.Even though most of the blood guts and gore are rendered with CGI.I guess we'll have to see if the new Silent Night Deadly Night has enough going for it to restore the crown to that storied Christmas franchise.Because for the time being Yule Log reigns supreme.5.5 out of 10.

6.2/10. Watchable.

My rating for the previous "Adult Swim Yule Log" movie was exactly the same. Those two movies are different though, previous one was more chaotic, insane and creative. This one is more coherent and well structured, also more typical and conventional for a comedy/horror. Id est, better and worse simultaneously, depending on your personal movie taste. Both movies are entertaining though. I liked this sequel, it's a fun ride, characters are likeable and it didn't drag for a minute. Fans of this genre will probably like it too. Still, this is definitely not a very good movie, and you should lower your expectations in order to enjoy it. It's enjoyable but not a MUST WATCH.

Bonkers

So much to unpack here, but two words first: Clumsy Hunks ? The intro feels like a Final Destination throwback, while the rest of the movie plays out like something on the Hallmark channel (which I've referenced in this review before they reference it as I'm watching the film), yet interlaced with some brutal kills. I don't know what to make of it, but it's entertaining and off-the-wall in all the best ways. At one point, the lead character tells her friend she feels like they're having two different conversations; I felt like I was watching two entirely different movies: it's so hilariously odd that you can't help but watch what's unfolding. Even my dog, who rarely watches TV, seems to be enthralled by it. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!
