PoppaTart

About This Movie

So, we have 'PoppaTart,' a quirky blend of comedy and thriller that was whipped up in under 48 hours for the Calgary Underground Film Festival 2024. The narrative centers around a father spinning a wild bedtime story for his kid, one that spirals into a twisted tale of revenge. The tone is oddly playful yet tinged with dark humor, creating this fascinating juxtaposition. The pacing is brisk, keeping you engaged while you wonder where it all leads. There’s a certain rawness to its practical effects that feels refreshing, and the performances, especially from the father, have this relatable charm. It’s distinctive, in that it captures the essence of storytelling with a unique twist—kind of like a modern fable gone rogue.
