Lake Mungo started off awesome.I was hooked wondering what was happening behind the photos but when I found out what was going on I didn't care anymore & the rest of the movie seemed to fall apart after that.Maybe they gave it away too soon before it was even over & there was still 20+ minutes left in the movie.As good as it started, It's a shame the way it had to end

Although it feels like it could have aired on The Discovery Channel (albeit, a bit more graphic than usual) this movies plays like a fuex documentary, with interviews, home recordings and news footage.

This earnestness is a strength for the first two thirds of the film, but by the time we reach the third act the narrative experiences a pile up of twists, each of which independently could have closed the story. Forcing these twists together shakes the mockumentary's foundations of realism so violently that it requires quite an effort of will-power not to laugh come the film's oh-so-spooky credits. Despite all this, Lake Mungo is an effective thriller. It falters often, but the film's ultimate, fatalistic twist still hits …
