A film that was unsure what it was wanted to be
The Wasting was a Canadian-British production that wasn't sure whether it wanted to be a drama or a horror film. The film focuses on Sophie (Lauren McQueen), an 18-year-old girl suffering from anorexia and seems to suffer from hallucinations, but she believes she's being haunted. There was a solid core for a film and Lauren McQueen did give a strong performance as her character degrades physically and mentally. But the rest of the film suffered from weak acting from the North American characters and the horror elements didn't become evident until the final third.
