Today we're discussing Lake Mungo! Sorry that my voice sounds so flat during this, I got a new microphone and I was trying to talk smoothly without making weird throat noises (it's a very sensitive mic) and ended up with a video that sounded like I was dead inside. 

Hoping to address that going forwards

As soon as I saw this was an Australian horror movie I knew it was going to be trouble. Australian horror is brutal and, in my experience, very human i.e. the humans are the monsters type of thing. Which I often find more disturbing that normal monsters. This is what I think of as a "True Horror" movie. Most horror movies try to be entertaining in some way or other instead of trying to actually horrify you. A true horror movie wants you to feel awful at the end of it. Not necessarily scared because being scared can be fun and these movies don't want you to have fun. I can respect these movies but I'm not sure I can say I like them. Of course they probably don't want me to like them lol.

Absolutely agree! Especially when we take the more barbaric Aussie horror into account (Wolf Creek really struck a chord with me). There's a brutality to Lake Mungo that is so difficult to watch. Glad you liked the review! :D

The first time I watched this, I definitely wasn't in the mood for it. Everyone was raving about how fantastic it was, but it just didn't live up to the expectations then. I watched it again a year or so later and that was a way better experience. Probably a film that works best if you go in completely blind, but I'd recommend it to anyone. :-)
