I will post Christmas-themed horror films over the next 24 days of LosMas; for the eleventh night, I am posting the 2023 horror comedy The Yule Log.
The Yule Log (2023)
Two friends travel to a cabin in the woods during the Christmas holiday to help another friend after the death of his wife. They chop some wood from the nearby forest and unknowingly release the spirit of Druinda, a witch condemned to death a few centuries prior. The men unwittingly contend with Duinda as the Night of the Mothers approaches and the Yule Log protection fades. The Yule Log is a 2023 horror comedy written and directed by Mark Polonia that features a cast of his usual suspects. The cabin looks nice, but the rest of the movie is the usual microbudget silliness found in Polonia's other movies. These often include poorly done CGI, Dollar Store creature effects, and terrible dialogue that makes Ed Wood movies look like cinema masterpieces. Polonia's movies are not meant to be award winners, and this movie is one of his few Christmas-themed films besides Sister Krampus, which is mentioned. Undoubtedly, the best part of any Mark Polonia movie is the poster art that often stands out with the promise of a fun movie but often disappoints.
