Lake Mungo (Joel Anderson, 2008) Having seen a few films within the genre, the Australian sleeper Lake Mungo has to be my favorite reality horror/mockumentary/found footage horror film, or at least one of the greatest I’ve seen. Thoroughly brilliant in its documentary construct and in the way it relentlessly adds layers to its narrative, mostly by complicating it with new found media through which dark secrets about its protagonists can be revealed, Lake Mungo goes for the uncanny rather than the straight-up scare and will definitely leave a lasting impression.
