- Rated 2/5 Stars •07/15/23 Late R Nicely shot and well-acted, on the one hand ‘The Wasteland' is an allegory for mental illness, specifically depression and the darkness and fear that eats away at its victims, seemingly advancing on them no matter where they go; on the other, it's a messed up coming-of-age tale and it's here that it's most effective because it gives the audience something to care about, even if it's not enough to carry the entire film.

This unusual thriller exiles audiences to the 19th Century Spanish wilderness and unlikely home of young Diego (Asier Flores) and devoted parents Salvator (Roberto Álamo) and Lucía (Inma Cuesta), whose cozy existence is threatened by a monster all the more dangerous for its incorporeality. Diego faces his fears and becomes a man but must first acce...
Regarding this first question, we can assume that Diego’s Papa Salvator died, leaving his wife and son to face the beast alone. After he leaves the apparent safety of the wasteland and ventures across war-torn Spain, Diego and Lucia anxiously await Salvator’s return. But their hope begins to fade with each day that passes- until Salvator’s horse re...
Before he left, Salvator warned Diego that this monster feeds on the vulnerable and gains strength through fear. We literally see Diego conjure its presence from nowhere when he experiences terror. And as the film escalates, Diego realizes his greatest fear is to lose his mother, through either death or self-destructive madness. This parallel betwe...
The loss of innocence is another key theme the beast represents. We know that Diego has been sheltered from the dangers of the wider world for his whole life, relying on his parents for safety and never leaving the boundaries of his childhood home. This is encouraged by Lucia, who interrupts Salvator’s attempts to teach independence and self-protec...
And as for Lucia’s fate, her cause of death is not explicitly shown. But the aftermath, which shows the character lying in a pool of blood and holding a knife, obviously suggests Lucia was driven to suicide as foreshadowed by Salvator’s story. She becomes weak from blood loss and becomes unresponsive and still as Diego drags her from the wreckage. ...

- Helen Armitage
Jan 21, 2022 · Both unnerving psychological thriller and stripped back creature feature, The Wasteland considers the nature of fear, childhood scars, and the importance of accepting how terrifyingly little control we have over our own life. But more importantly, there’s a badass kid-on-monster fight scene.
