Lake Mungo is my absolute favorite horror movie I've ever seen. I've stated on here that I'm a huge fan of found footage films, but this one is more of a mockumentary film.The film is the story if the Palmers searching for answers about the death of their daughter Alice. It is an Australian film and I've known people who have trouble getting back the accents. I didn't, I love the accent.
In the film Alice has drowned in a quarry while her family was on vacation, after a severe search and rescue a body is found. The family seeks to place blame for Alice's death, an interesting thing to consider if you've ever lost a loved one to something completely without reason. The family is stuck on her and the documentary keeps showing them greiving.
Alice's brother Matthew is an avid photographer and given the film was made shortly before the big "digital boom" that made film useless for most, he takes his pictures in 35mm, medium format and even begins experimenting with cinema footage. The documentary film shows evidence of Alice in the pictures.
A psychic gets involved and works closely with Matthew and his pictures and videos. Those pictures and videos began to show more and more.
Without spoiling anything I want to tell you that there is a big twist where in underage sex, swinging and parents finding blame is found.
This movie contains one of the most terryfing things I've every seen in a movie and sticking around for the credits is worth it, as it changes the film completely.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE. I recommend it to anyone who is into horror movies.
