Strange things start happening after a girl is found drowned in a lake.
Review

The secret to Lake Mungo, in both story telling and conclusion is subversion. I won't say more.
The acting is believable. It's nice to have a found footage movie where the cast isn't annoying. There's little experience in the cast, but it works really well. The family come across as natural, real people.
The build in the film is great, and while there's no horror, gore, or FX, it's scary. Really scary. With outstanding ebbs and flows to the tension. The first twist drops the tension to the point of annoyance - you'll know what I mean when you see it (you have to see it) - the second will blow your mind and make you want to watch the film again, straight away.
Forget Blair Witch. This is a proper scary film.
