lake mungo follow the familiar mockumentary style that have become the stable of many a modern day horror film . the film be painfully slow with some incredibly bad performance by the cast who seem to work with dialogue and without any genuine emotion to their grief . lake mungo feel like someone watch twin peak a few too many time then stumble across the last broadcast and decide they want a j horror moment a the cliff hanger moment . clever idea that be poorly execute . the film have way too many unrealistic idea for a so call realistic ghost story . the film felt like it have it run time pad out with plenty of shot of the sky and the australian bush back with atmospheric music . the bushland could have become key element in this story but instead it relegate to run time material . lake mungo be all about the atmosphere and the potential for thing to happen which never materialise in this film . this be one of the rare occasion that the idea of hollywood remake this film be actually interesting because hopefully the new writer will expand on the good concept and deliver whole lot more action and horror and drama .
