Lake Mungo: Slow-Burn Haunting For Insomniacs and Mocumentary Fans
Found footage movies get two outcomes: the perfectly spooky like 'The Blair Witch Project' or the mostly forgettable garbage like 'Slender' and 'Megan Is Missing,' which insult cinema itself. Enter 'Lake Mungo,' the under-90-minute mokumentary heir to all that pretends to haunt but actually tugs heartstrings. Itâs so convincing youâd believe itâs a true documentaryâif youâre gullible enough to let scary ghosts and family drama coexist comfortably. No over-the-top jumpscares, just slow-burn existential dread wrapped in Lake Mungoâs supposedly haunted Australian scenery. The Verge swears by it, and I reluctantly admit, itâs haunting⌠for the right kind of zombie binge-watcher.
