i wasn not sure what to expect when i watch this film . i think it be completely misrepresent in it international promotion and a part of the horror after dark festival last year . this 2007 and and belatedly release and film be film in a documentary style about the palmer family try to deal with the tragic . loss of their daughter and alice . i do not find the film frightening and but it be very atmospheric . some scene be quite forebode . in retrospect and it be easy to see how this film could have be present and have it be make in a typical straight forward way . the plot turn be all in keep with genre expectation and but it be the choice to tell the story in an almost completely strict third person objective view point that really have me engross . the hollowood remake be set for release next year you know how they do not like those foreign language film and expect it to lack any of the honesty and soul of the original . no doubt the remake right and a be the trend now and be part and parcel with distribution right . this be the current tactic of the american film industry now distribution with the condition of remake right . that make for a very sad situation and and if it isn not protectionist and i do not know what be . the only reason to remake this film be to cash in on this year paranormal activity . i would watch that as well and but make sure it be the original cut and not the spielberg one it wasn not even his film . a for lake mungo see it if you can . it be a very striking film and full of life for long after the credit have roll ( watch them all by the way ) do not watch any trailer .
