Rent Lake Mungo (2008)

Great horror film - Lake Mungo review by TH

This is one of those horror films that hits different.

It's filmed just like a true life documentary and convinces throughout.

The performances are spot on and while it's a slow burner it leads to some chilling set pieces with the grainy camera.

The scary thing is that keeps close to what is scary and that's human emotions and fear of the future.

Much like The Others and The Orphanage this is a horror movie that avoids jump scares and relies on chilling imagery and a sad premise.

Great work

Creepy and affecting - Lake Mungo review by TDM

Lo-fi, a little abstract, and all the better for it.

This is an excellently constructed and written film, with excellent acting, that you'll wonder how you missed before.

Well worth a watch, you might very well be surprised.

Excellent - chilling and absorbing - Lake Mungo review by CD

A really superbly put together chiller documentary.  The documentary format works really well and quite apart from the ghost photography which keeps the suspense level up, the gradual revealing of the family context and pressures add considerably to the credibility and sadness of the film.  The plot resolves itself into quite a scary conclusion.  I watched the film in two sittings and it prompted a lot of thoughts, some unsettling.  It certainly makes you think twice about potential impacts of the supernatural.
