Im not usually unsettled by movies but Lake Mungo"reallyfreaked me out.

Its so well constructed, that youll swear its documenting real events.

And that sense of authenticity only makes it all the more unsettling and creepy.

And just to clarify, when I say free, I do mean it.

But thats a small price to pay to stream this excellent movie.

But first, a warning: Dont watch this one with the lights turned off.

What is Lake Mungo about?

As they investigate further, all signs point to Lake Mungo.

The movie is also masterfully paced, slowly dishing out new clues and revelations.

It may lack the guts and gore of a traditional horror-thriller flick, but its deeply unsettling throughout.

The movie also has a little bit more going on under the hood than its creepy premise might suggest.

That definitely comes across.

Also making it a more valuable watching experience than just being scary.

OnRotten Tomatoes, the movie holds a 95% score, which is a testament to its overall quality.

Popular YouTuber reviewerChris Stuckmancalled it an underappreciated, underseen gem.

Lake Mungo is a little more divisive with viewers.

Still, I think thats harsh.

Yes, Lake Mungo is a little slower but its packed with dread and shocking scenes.

If youre brave enough, I strongly recommend you give this horror thriller a chance.

You might even be so creeped out that you sleep with the lights on afterward.
