Lake Mungo...Small Aussie Film that got under my skin...

Posted by Mark Man on June 11, 2015 at 10:45:00:
Here is the film bio...not my words...

Sixteen-year-old ALICE PALMER drowns while swimming in the local dam. When her body is recovered and a verdict of accidental death returned, her grieving family buries her. The family then experiences a series of strange and inexplicable events centered in and around their home. Profoundly unsettled, the Palmers seek the help of psychic and parapsychologist. A series of clues lead the family to Lake Mungo. Lake Mungo is a mystery, a thriller and a ghost story.
Release date: Jan 29, 2010 (I edited out spoilers of this bio)

My insomnia late night movie watching brought me to this little gem...first off it presents itself as Documentary...I have to admit, I bit on that big time...it really is a Mockumentary...as I did not find that out until AFTER I had watched it...which was a little disappointing, but them it hit me, they did a really good job with the suspension of disbelief...(Sorry if this was a spoiler, I do not think it is)...

As I was watching it, I thought this is one of the most intense, creepy and scary documentaries I have ever seen...lots of hand held shots, cell phone footage and interviews with all the players...during this viewing I thought once again life is stranger than fiction...

I hesitated on posting about this, because I felt so stupid that I did not know it was a Mockumentary...but who cares, they did a great job...fooled the hell out of me...(did I mention late night and insomnia)

This is a solid 3.75 out of 5 stars...it is more ghost story than any type of horror movie being made to day...no guns, no blood and guts, no boogieman, no stars and extremely LOW budget...just a well told story that was extremely well edited...

Worth a rental and a watch...

thanks
Mark
