Quick Hit

Lake Mungo slides in like a mock-doc nightmare—mournful, subtle, and never loosens its grip.

Full Take

Lake Mungo leans hard into mockumentary horror energy, and Joel Anderson keeps the tone mournful without letting the movie drift. The best parts are the confidence and control: it takes its time, sets the trap, then slams the door. The rough edges are part of the charm.

I’m closer to the negative side on this. It just didn’t come together for me and felt like it never really found its footing.
