First of all, "Lake Mungo" should not have been a part of the After Dark HorrorFest 4 series for the simple fact that this movie is not scary in the least. The film is presented as a mediocre mockumentary and this format doesn't allow for tension or scares to be built or delivered. As for the movie itself it is extremely slow, difficult to understand the people who are being interviewed, but has an unique and interesting "twist" that is eventually revealed at the end. It takes an incredible amount of patience to watch the film from beginning to end and I'm pretty sure that the majority of horror fans will find the film to be a waste of time.
A teenage girl named Alice dies while swimming at Lake Mungo, a damn in Ararat, Australia. The family tries to move on but their home begins to have ghostly occurrences taking place. Slowly the family learns the truth about their daughter and some of the details in her life that she was afraid to share and ultimately how she faced her own death.
