My rating of 10 has been on the database for a while and it's great to see the IMDb rating going up after years of being 5.7-5.8. Lake Mungo is an absolute masterpiece of a mockumentary. It often falls under the Found Footage formula which I'm a huge fan of, but it really isn't until the final act where (without spoilers), there's a truly chilling scene taken from a found mobile phone. The acting in this is astounding. It really feels like a documentary which I actually forgive some of the younger generation questioning if it's real or not. There is so many layers to this that just after you've got over a creepy as hell scene you only have to wait 10 minutes or so for the next one. Forget jump-scares if that's your cup of tea, this is all psychological. Many scenes have the "thing" you're meant to be looking at but if you look closer to the right or left of camera you'll often see something far more eerie. Overall I'd say to anyone who hasn't seen it and isn't put off by a slow-burning pace that leads to a full-on wtf! Last 15-20 minutes then go for it. You won't regret it!
Some of my favourite psychological horror movies from the last 2 decades are Session 9, Noroi: The Curse and Hell House LLC. So if you're into any of them then this should suffice.
Tremendous!
