10 Most Overlooked Horror Movie Scenes
5. Cell Phone Recording - Lake Mungo
Thanks to TikTok, Lake Mungo has slowly gained more popularity, with horror enthusiasts often naming the movie as one of the scariest and best horror films in recent years.
Lake Mungo begins with the drowning of a teenage girl, Alice, whose spirit haunts her family home. When the family move out of the house, after believing they have helped Alice's spirit move on, the credits show how Alice has been with the audience throughout the entire feature, showing her ghost in many scenes.
The shocking twist of this scene often overlooks the phone recording sequence where viewers see Alice walking along Lake Mungo and encountering a corpse-like doppelgänger of herself with a bloated and disfigured face; just as she would look after being found dead in the lake.
What's scarier than seeing a ghost? Seeing your own ghost!
This scene is executed exceptionally well, as it builds up slowly to make audiences believe that nothing is going to happen, but suddenly it turns out to be a terrifying jump scare.
