About This Movie

So, 'Wasted on the Young' is an intriguing little horror flick from 2020 that plays with the dynamics of relationships and the unexpected. It starts off kind of like a standard dinner party scenario, but as the night unfolds, the tension builds quietly until it spills over into something darker. Mateo, who brings his boyfriend along, is portrayed with a kind of nervous energy that really sets the tone. The practical effects are subtle but impactful, enhancing that slow burn feel. There's a layer of bitterness in the dessert that mirrors the underlying tensions, making you question the nature of their friendships. The pacing feels deliberate, almost claustrophobic at times, which adds to its distinctiveness in the horror genre.
