    Lake Mungo

    Didnt see another thread for this film. Dont usually start threads to recommend films but this was brilliant IMO.

    Brief synopsis- Mockumentary film about a family in Australia who's teenage daughter tragically dies, and basically the film follows the aftermath of this where strange occurances begin to happen in the house and the family begin to piece together secrets that the daughter had kept from them.

    It's not an in your face horror which i think is why i liked it but others may not. I thought the story was great and it throws a few twists your way to keep you guessing. I would say it is genuinely creepy and unnerving as well as quite emotional.

    Anyways id highly recommend it, however if you dont catch the Aussie verion, as per the Hollywood studios have a remake in the works.

    It was boring. Only one creepy part


    Spoiler...
    When she was looking at herself through her cell phone running..at herself? idk



    Besides that, it was very boring and I was waiting for something to happen.

    An old reviewer on UHM gave this movie a perfect 10 and it's far from that. Maybe a 4 or a 5

    Yea, that was the creepest part. But I wouldn't give it a 10 either.

    It's got a score of 6.1 on IMDB Irish. I would give it 9. Yeah DMHEAD that bit scared the heck outta me, however i felt the rest of the film was quite unsettling also.

    Great film. The actors were very convincing as a family, and the way the fortuneteller and dreams fit into it was really chilling. It's not a jumpfest, no gore, but very disturbing mentally. Highly recommended for fans of subtlety.

    It's on netflix streaming now, and it was pretty good. It's not really scary by any means, still pretty good.

    Still find it amazing that a past staff member on the board gave this movie 10/10. There's no way that's even close.

    I loved it. One of my modern favorites. And I think people confuse slow with storytelling. It's just def not an action horror film. Pretty much all character driven.

    Resurrecting this old thread to mention that after all these years I FINALLY got around to watching this movie. It's just been one of those flicks that I kinda kept putting off watching for whatever reason. Anyway, I'm mixed on it, I kinda like it to some extent, but the pacing is just really really slow. You have to seriously be invested in the story and characters to stay interested, and I sorta was, so I wasn't completely bored. All the blurry ghost images in the background were somewhat creepy, though, at this point we've seen it done so many times before, so it's not as effective as it might've been for people at the time.

    On that note, probably the biggest issue I had with the movie was how the characters in the film knew exactly who they were seeing in these pictures/videos. For instance, some grainy ass image of what appears to be someone's head/face is in the background, and they immediately know exactly who it is, like how the hell can you even tell who it is when you can barely even make out the person's face There's some other stuff that makes the story a little unnecessarily convoluted, but overall, it's one of the better found footage/mockumentary films I've seen. Though, honestly, I feel like I didn't really miss out on much from not having watched it all this time.

    Either way, I'd give it a 6/10.

    Been a couple of years but I had really high hopes for this movie as I read a lot of good reviews, but agree that the pacing was just too slow. It made it boring and I began to lose interest. Maybe I'll revisit one day
