Desperdicio is an intriguing entry in the horror-thriller genre, even if the director remains a mystery. There's this palpable sense of dread throughout, and the atmosphere hangs heavy, almost suffocating at times. The pacing is deliberate, building tension gradually, which I appreciate—nothing feels rushed. The practical effects are noteworthy; they have that gritty, authentic feel that CGI often lacks. The performances, while not overly flashy, convey a raw intensity that resonates. Themes of despair and desperation are woven in seamlessly, making you think long after the credits roll. Quite distinctive in how it approaches fear; it doesn't rely on jump scares but rather on building a creeping unease that lingers.
