Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlthough the film is fictional, Lake Mungo is a real place in New South Wales, Australia, and scenes in the film were shot there. Lake Mungo is a dry lake, and an important archaeological site. In 1968, the remains of a young Aboriginal woman were uncovered and she was nicknamed the "Mungo Lady". She was found to be ritually buried, and her bones were approximately 40,000 years old at the time of discovery. Mungo Lady is one of the earliest anatomically modern human remains discovered anywhere in the world. Five years later, another skeleton of around 40,000 years old was found at Lake Mungo, and named "Mungo Man".

- Quotes
Alice Palmer: I feel like something bad is going to happen to me. I feel like something bad has happened. It hasn't reached me yet but it's on its way.
- Crazy creditsThe credits are intercut with prior footage, revealing several sightings of Alice's ghost throughout the film that went unnoticed. After the credits, a figure that may be Alice or her doppelgänger stands at Lake Mungo, in the darkness, as lightning strikes.

Featured review
Considering its classification of horror, and the relatively high rating, it's disappointing at best. The acting is good and there's a lot of setups for a really interesting and horror-worthy story or twist, or even a more emotional dramatic avenue, but some of it is deliberately dismantled with other plot points and the rest just sort of goes unused. So, much like a ghost we are left with a feeling of unfinished business, loose ends, unresolved issues. Although the documentary-style was entirely unnecessary and detrimental, it was engaging enough to watch just because of those little teasers of something more, but at the end the lack of depth or resolution of those teasers will leave you regretting your choice to watch in the first place.
