This movie explores and portrays the horrific side of depression, loss, confusion and desperation. Following a family trying to understand their daughter while piecing their life together after just loosing her. [spoiler] the way in which I read this movie is that Alice killed herself, after hiding her depression from the ones closest to her, and in the end even hiding it from the world (at lake mungo). The movie follows her family in their attempt to understand why she died, slowly piecing together the remenants of the life she kept secret from them. All the while still seeing her in the house, pushing them to look Draper. When they eventually find the last piece of evidence (the phone) which contains Alices interaction with her deepest fear and want which is to end her life. Her family are able to let go and Alice with them. The performances and b-roll where increadible. [/spoiler] the whole movie felt very real. An amazing depiction of how ghosts are a manifestation of people’s pain. 10/10

Don't waste your time.. I was expecting something in the lines of Paranormal Activity but got a crappy mockumentary pointless twist of a ending..

The most boring movie I've ever seen. A cheap "documentary" where everything is explained through "interviews". Don't watch it.

One of the most unique horror movies I have seen in awhile. Lake Mungo is structured as if it were a crime documentary and it successfully portrays the events occurring in this film as almost undeniably true, though it does achieve this through sacrificing quite a few things you would see in a normal film. Just like all crime documentaries there isn't a big payoff and often there are more questions created than answered. This movie understands that the most terrifying things are the ones left unknown to us and uses an impressive amount of restraint to achieve a sense of unknown dread that takes a hold of you and never lets go even after the film is finished. In short do not go into this movie expecting any type of conventional horror film. Here is a quick test for you to whether or not you'll enjoy Lake Mungo: Do you find documentaries boring? If the answer is yes than you most likely will find Lake Mungo uneventful and boring also. But if the answer is no it is most definitely worth the watch.

Lake Mungo features one of the best and most effective jump scares I have seen in a horror movie. Thinking about the scene itself sends me a feeling of terror and chills. It isn't just a cheap thrill, as it leaves you guessing. The slow build-up to it and you as the viewer, at first, not knowing what you are looking at, but when the realization kicks in, so does the terror. It's right up there with the best scares like The Exorcist III, Insidious, Rec, The Conjuring, Sinister, and It Follows. The rest of the movie is equally solid and unnerving. It has this sense of sadness and eerie, almost like a classic ghost story. It's very unique in that aspect.
