Hodnotenia a recenzie

Lake Mungo is a very unconvential horror movie that masterfully creates tension through dialogue and cinematography that culminates in an unforgettable scene towards the last five minutes. Although it requires a patient viewer, this movie definitely deviates from movies of the same genre and should be watched by any individual who appreciates unsettling story-telling.

It's like Paranormal Activity without the action. Please don't waste your time or money on this. No offense to the filmmakers, it was done well, but the content was just lacking. NOT scary at all.

This movie had potential to be good but ended up being the worst of slow burns. The payoff was not great and could have been made better if revealed earlier and developed a bit more. This movie is recommended from time to time in horror groups but as a horror fan, I simply cannot recommend this. I watched it just to say I watched it but this is time i will not get back.
