‘Yule Log’
In this age of entertainment, it’s rare for show or movie to honestly surprise. But that’s exactly what Casper Kelly’s movie has done in more ways than one. Adult Swim’s first live-action movie is runs a mile a minute, switching between snarky social commentary about the racism, sexism, and homophobia prevalent in classic horror and gore so brutal it toes the line between sickening and comical. Like The Evil Dead and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, there’s a punk edge to the micro-budget Yule Log that makes it hard to look away.
