Lake Mungo (2008) – Grief, Ghosts, and the Girl in the Footage
from Two Cents: We See Scary Movies · host Talon and Christopher
This week we wade into Lake Mungo (2008), a somber Australian mockumentary that technically has a ghost, but mostly just wants to bum you out. When 16-year-old Alice drowns, her family starts experiencing spooky occurrences—and we start questioning how many slow zooms one film really needs.We talk about grief, fakeouts, emotional manipulation, and whether the twist landed or just kind of... floated there. Some people call it one of the scariest films ever made. We call it a mood—and not always a good one.If you love sad ghosts, home videos, and watching people grieve in real time... you might love this more than we did.
