Lake Mungo (2008)

Lake Mungo has been described as “The saddest horror film you’ve never seen”, which tells you exactly what you need to know. The best way to see this documentary is cold. The setup makes you clearly understand why it’s a drama and that drama leads to a special kind of terror. From there, you’ll never be sure how you’re supposed to feel, which makes it incredibly effective.

After sixteen-year-old Alice Palmer drowns while swimming, her mother, June, begins hearing strange noises in their home and starts sleepwalking. Hoping to understand what is happening to his family, Mathew sets up cameras throughout the house. The film shows the enigmatic footage and the investigation that follows.

Still determined to read on? Then I must warn you that some big surprises in the story HAVE to be revealed to explain my star rating for the film. You’ve been warned.

Like The Blair Witch Project, Lake Mungo is presented as if it really happened. In truth, this is a mockumentary. Alice is played by Talia Zucker, her brother Mathew by Martin Sharpe, their mother by Rosie Traynor and father by David Pledger. Certain clues throughout might reveal this part of the way through but certain viewers won’t notice them, which is why it's best to go in not knowing. Lake Mungo wants to fool you. It’s set in Australia - a "faraway" place - in some town whose name you won’t even remember. The budget is small and A LOT of the footage we see throughout is blurry, just as it would be if you actually did accidentally capture something supernatural. At several points, the camera will zoom in on a frame while the people narrating tell you about the face/figure they saw. From your seat, you’ll be thinking “I guess it COULD be a ghost, but I’m not certain. I think there’s a good chance you people just want to believe spirits exists to alleviate some of the sadness they're feeling”. That’s deliberate.

As long as you’re wondering whether something otherworldly is actually happening to the Palmers, the film is a drama. It’s about three people who suffered a horrible tragedy and are left broken. In their own way, they're in denial about what happened. It feels as if director Joel Anderson is exploiting their grief by showing them as delusional freaks whose grip on reality has slipped. Even if his objective was to show us how devastating a loss like theirs can be, it would feel slightly exploitative.

And then, a switch flips. Suddenly, you’ll see that these people are NOT crazy, that there IS something unexplainable going on. This realization makes Lake Mungo the stuff of nightmares. Now, your brain is looking for a way to confirm that what you’re seeing is something to be afraid of. That diabolical organ in your skull goes into overdrive. I knew going in this was all fake but I got swept up in it. Now, I can't shake this creepy feeling. Lake Mungo works so well because it doesn’t cross that line. Just when you think “ok, so was the next day’s newspaper headline GHOSTS ARE REAL!!!!”? A new crumb of information will turn you into a skeptic again. You keep going back-and-forth. Joel Anderson plays you like a fiddle until the very end.

The rewatch value of Lake Mungo is difficult to gauge. So much of the enjoyment you get out of it comes from that unknown factor. Knowing what's coming next may rob it of everything that was so effective the first time. Or it might not. I suspect revisiting this story to see how all the clues fit will bring a different kind of fun to subsequent viewings. One thing’s for sure, it’s heartbreaking and heart-stopping, a great little movie that does what it wants to do remarkably well. (January 31, 2020)

Director & Writer: Joel Anderson

Mini-review:

I don't think I'm on the same wavelength as this movie. It has interesting things to say about grief and family, but it's nothing I haven't seen in other movies. The problem is it tries to sell itself as a horror movie, and I just don't see it. Sure, there's talk about ghosts and stuff, but it never manages to truly build up tension or any unsettling feelings. Even if the whole "fake crime documentary" approach is alright, I struggled to connect with the story or the characters. I don't know, I guess I expected something very different.

I wonder if anyone believes this? If they did they would surely not vote for the candidate with all of these interior contacts that would further weaken our constitutional right involving voter protection from fraudulent election. Once was enough! Read the following before deciding who you will vote for. If you don’t know the names that are being referenced, please educate yourself and look them up!

My what tangled webs we weave… VOTE VOTE VOTE and here is why….

Friends, it will take a miracle for Trump to win. There is just too much corruption. And when millions of Christians refuse to vote, they’re going to blindly help them do it, which is very sad. He must win so big that there’s no way they can rig it, and I still think they can. I’ll say it again. It’s going to take a miracle. As big of a miracle, if not more, as Roe being overturned.

My friend Kevin Pledger posted these facts about our corrupt government. It’s what Trump means when he says we must “drain the swamp.” He has been talking about them for years. It’s why they can and will do anything and everything to defeat him. They can’t let him win. Maybe these facts will help those of you on the fence or those not willing to vote at all. Everything stated here is 100% true. Look it up yourself. They’re counting on our ignorance, but we just can’t plead ignorance any longer.

Here you go:

“It’s all connected. It goes to principles and platforms, NOT personalities. Know who your voting for:

Part of the Democratic Swamp;

People should know who they're voting for with these facts. This is some pretty interesting stuff here.

THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL A "STACKED DECK". IF YOU HAD A HUNCH THE NEWS MEDIA WAS SOMEWHAT RIGGED AND YOU COULDN'T PUT YOUR FINGER ON IT, THIS MIGHT HELP YOU SOLVE THE PUZZLE.

Now you know why no one is investigated.They all have their hands in the cookie jar!

You might remember James Comey who investigated the Clinton email scandal and the Clinton Foundation, and made the final decision to not recommend prosecution by the DOJ.

It turns out that the Clinton Foundation was audited by the law firm DLA Piper. One of the executives there was in charge of the Clinton Foundation audit. Who was it? Peter Comey, James Comey’s brother.

Peter Comey held an executive position with the Washington law firm that did the audit of the Clinton foundation in 2015.

Peter Comey was officially DLA Piper “Senior Director of Real Estate Operations for the Americas,” in 2015 when the Clinton Foundation scandals first broke and Hillary was preparing her Presidential campaign.

Not only was DLA Piper, the firm where Comey’s brother worked involved in the audit of the Clinton Foundation, but according to the foundation’s donor records, DLA Piper has given between $50 - 100k to the Foundation.

It gets even cozier.

DLA Piper executive Douglas Emhoff is taking an extended leave of absence from the firm.

Who is Douglas Emhoff?

He is the husband of KAMALA HARRIS! Just a coincidence? Amazing if it is. You can't make this stuff up! And it only gets worse.

This "Family Tree" will make your head spin. THE SWAMP IS DEEP!!

Dominion (voting machine provider) serves 40% of the US market. It is in 30 states - -

The state of Texas rejected the machines.

Admiral Peter Neffenger is on Biden's transition team.

Neffenger was the President of the board of Smartmatic - Smartmatic (another voting machine supplier) entered into an agreement with Dominion in 2009 - Smartmatic counted votes in Venezuela - Smartmatic is connected to Philippine voter fraud. Smartmatic is run by Lord Mark Malloch Brown who works for George Soros (he and Brown are life-long friends). Brown chairs the Boards of a number of non-profit boards including the Open Society Foundation, Brown chairs the Centre for Global Development.

Open society of course is owned by George Soros. Smartmatic partnered with DLA Piper Global - Douglas C. Emhoff works at DLA Piper Global - Douglass C. Emhoff is Kamala Harris's husband

Guess who owns Dominion?

Blum Capital Partners, L.P.

Guess who is on the board for the company? Richard Blum.

Richard C. Blum is Dianne Feinstein's husband.

Nancy Pelosi's husband is also a major investor

An aide to Nancy Pelosi, Nadeam Elshami, was hired by Dominion Voting Systems. And it goes on.

Dominion Voting Systems is listed on the Clinton Foundation website.

Dominion Voting is listed as a $25,000 -$50,000 donor to the Clinton Foundation in 2014 by The Washington Post.

Georgia Governor Kemp used Dominion Voting after Texas and Florida rejected them.

Dominion has a lobbyist named Jared Thomas - Jared Thomas was Governor Brian Kemp’s chief of staff and press secretary from 2012 to 2015.

You must remember the Feinstein-Kavanaugh-Soros connections to understand this next information:

Debra Katz (Christine Ford's lawyer) worked for George-Soros at the Open Society Foundation. Debra Katz (Christine Ford's lawyer) also worked at Project on Government Oversight (POGO). - POGO is funded by Soros’s Open Society Foundation. POGO is the co-signer of the letter Diane Feinstein presented against Kavanaugh's nomination.

Kamala Harris did not prosecute OneWest Bank for their fraud when she had the authority.

Soros owned OneWest Bank.

Now you know why a woman who placed 7th in own her State when running for President is now VP! Oh what a tangled web of deceit and lies.”

Christians, please reconsider, you just can’t sit this one out.

“We were thinking it’d be nice if we could make a film that was kind of a curiosity, but if you saw it years from now you wouldn’t know anything about where it came from.”

This quote from a 2009 interview with Lake Mungo director Joel Anderson proved to be strangely prescient. Anderson was speaking ahead of the film’s screening at the Brisbane Film Festival – the movie had already premiered at the Sydney Film Festival, played South by Southwest in the US, and would go on to tour several more festivals before eventually finding its way onto DVD...
