"What’s this? Another mockumentary film", you say? "What’s gotten into this guy?!" I hear you bellow.
"Shenanigans!" You add. "I still would!" said your missus.
Well, yes, I suppose it is quite the coincidence, seeing as the one before this was for the awesome Digging Up The Marrow, but hold tight, nursey, because this shit’s about to get heavy!
Lake Mungo is the paranormal rollercoaster ride of emotions about a young girl named Alice who
drowns in a lake, survived by her loving parents and her twat-faced brother, Matty, who are all
convinced that she had come back to haunt their lily-white asses.
That’s pretty much as far as I can get into it at this point, but get a load of this!
Lake Mungo is one of those rare treats where you get to watch a film that is genuinely creepy, thinks
outside the box and doesn’t feel the need to rely on stupid fucking gimmicks in order to be as cheesy
as possible and then whining because they wouldn’t let you direct any of the Star Wars movies
because you’re a minge-faced fuck-stick (yes, Joss Whedon, I’m looking at you)!
Story development on this bitch also keeps the viewer guessing from start to finish, which is
something that paranormal thrillers can’t really seem to do nowadays, and this one in particular kept
me asking questions throughout with its unstoppable twists, turns and reveals!
"But wait, how can the mockumentary formula be scary and atmospheric when it is all past tense?" I hear you say
behind your monocle.
Well, I say unto thee, normally you would be right, but in this instance you
are way off the mark, good sir, because
Lake Mungo is creepy as fuck and keeps you looking over
your shoulder for a good hour or so after its climax!
