Lake Mungo (2008)

Warning: Spoilers
This movie was alright, not great. I was not scared at all, but I will give credit where it's due...that one jump scare at the end was totally unexpected. Throughout the entire movie, there are stilled picture/video shots that increasingly zoom in but do not jump scare. That jump scare betrayed the viewer, as the viewer believed that they would be safe to let their guard down and not be on the edge of their seat covering their eyes, EXPECTING the jump scare. Well, at least they were after that.

Besides that, Lake Mungo felt boring and drawn out. I liked the idea of future Alice coming to present Alice in real life...an omen. I just feel there could have been more scenes with Alice before her death, not only people reminiscing about her.
