Waste (2016) has this raw, unsettling vibe. The premise is simple yet effective—a group of six girls, cohabiting, and one wields this pencil that gives her power over the rest. The tension builds slowly, with a creeping sense of dread that permeates the air. The practical effects, while not overdone, serve the narrative well and complement the eerie atmosphere. The performances are gritty, capturing the desperation and fear among the girls. What stands out is how it explores themes of control and manipulation in a claustrophobic setting. It’s this mix of psychological horror and supernatural elements that gives it a distinctive edge, making it a curious watch for genre enthusiasts.
