Lake Mungo

lowkey there was an iMovie i made as a kid that was better than this

Who killed Alice?

There is a lot of hype around this film but I found it slow, drawn out and without any horror.

What I’ll say about Lake Mungo is it’s genuinely scary. Spooked me to my core and left a lingering feeling from the creepy visuals. I’ve seen other found footage films with better plot lines but this was well made.

not for everyone but one of few horror movies to genuinely creep me out and get me with a jump scare scene 😭

I’ve never been more truly terrified by a movie than I was til now, other horrors make you scared and are creepy, this movie terrifies you and stays with you from start to finish and even after that.

It felt so real, half the time it genuinely felt like I was watching a real life documentary of something that actually happened, and I think this paired with the eerie supernatural elements that are layered within the movies plot really makes this movie stand out in an overwhelmingly horrifying way. The way other mockumentary type movies portray the interview style filmmaking that would be seen on 60 minutes just feel so forced and or are not convincing enough to immerse you, but I don’t know if it’s the acting, the setting, the story, the way it’s shot, the fact that this films set in a place not far from where I live, or maybe it’s a combination of all these things but it brings a level of realness I’ve not seen in a movie before.

Not even to mention the story and acting from these Aussies is top notch, I think this is one for the ages, a horror movie I feel that should be put somewhere safe to be contained for all of eternity, because it’s absolutely incredible

My score: 9.5/10
