Notes

My 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.
