DARK COMEDY SHORT FILM
Directed by Carlyn Hudson
14 min. Scripted Short – USA
I recently watched Waffle, a dark comedy short film directed by Carlyn Hudson, and it was a bizarre, funny, and surprisingly unsettling ride. As someone who loves strange and unpredictable stories, I was completely captivated from beginning to end. This short is full of surprises, and it leaves you wanting to talk about it long after the credits roll.
A Dark Comedy Full of Twists
At 14 minutes, Waffle delivers a bold mix of dark humor, suspense, and satire. The story follows Kerry as she attends a sleepover with Katie, a socially awkward, mysteriously orphaned heiress. What begins as quirky and offbeat quickly evolves into a tense, surreal situation where Kerry learns—sometimes the hard way—that Katie always gets what she wants.
Carlyn Hudson’s direction leans into the unsettling energy of the story, balancing humor with an eerie atmosphere. The result is a short that feels equally hilarious and chilling, a hallmark of well-executed dark comedy short films.
My Take: Must Watch
For fans of indie short films, dark comedy shorts, and festival-ready scripted stories, Waffle is a must-watch. It’s the kind of short that surprises you with its originality, makes you laugh at its absurdity, and leaves you thinking about its twisted humor long after.
