10 Horror Movies You Won't Be Able To Sleep After Watching
7. Lake Mungo
You can't make a list like this without including at least one found footage flick, and Lake Mungo is one of the best of the bunch.
Lake Mungo follows a family as they document their investigation into solving the mystery of their daughter's death.
If there was one word to describe this movie it would be eerie. The film is a hauntingly intimate look at a family's attempt to process their collective and individual grief. It feels deeply personal, as if it isn't for us to watch, and just by doing so we are invading a space in which we do not belong.
What the family, and by proxy us as the audience discover throughout the investigation will shake you to your core. By working as both a shockingly realistic mockumentary and as a frightening ghost story Lake Mungo stands apart from the rest of the found footage crowd. Equal parts creepy and soul crushing, this is one movie guaranteed to keep you up far past your bedtime.
