Waffle

After recently seeing the anthology title Scare Package, (2019-also reviewed)I was excited to learn that Shudder was this year hosting the short films from the Etheria film festival,leading to me tasting the first short.

Note:Some small spoilers in review.

View on the film:

Returning to short films after a run directing TV shows, director Carlyn Hudson & cinematographer Richard Diaz charge up a quirky Horror atmosphere,as the bright colors of Katie and Kerry's sleepover are jabbed by swift zoom-ins and phone beeps, locking on that all is not as friendly as it seems.

Co-producing,writing and starring in the film, Kerry Barker and Katie Marovitch pack the short run time with a impressive level of creativity, via giving the psycho friend Horror sub-genre a amusing Sci-Fi twist, in a phone app keeping friendships on a timer which Marovitch uses to turn Katie kooky on a pile of waffles.
