Lake Mungo 4K 2008

Another horror film in the pseudo-documentary style. It contains far more “documentary” footage featuring “revelations” from those directly involved in the tragedy than it does mysticism, plot twists, and everything else that would give a good horror film at least some flavor.

But I can't give the film a completely negative rating, as I liked the acting. The emotions of the real interviews, references to supposedly real photographs and video recordings - everything is perhaps a few percent above the level of other works of this style (of which there are now countless).

I do not recommend this film to fans of action, wild ghosts, and aggressive poltergeists. They will fall asleep halfway through. This is a step-by-step investigation that emphasizes the “horror” effect precisely on the feeling of “reality” of events, rather than on implausible brutal dismemberment, computer monsters, and the like. Therefore, it looks more like a private documentary than a feature film. For the same reason, of course, it may seem drawn out and boring.
