A Film by
Joel Anderson
Sixteen-year-old Alice Palmer drowns while swimming in the local dam. When her body is recovered and a verdict of accidental death returned, her grieving family buries her. The family then experiences a series of strange and inexplicable events centered in and around their home. Profoundly unsettled, the Palmers seek the help of psychic and parapsychologist, Ray Kemeny. Ray discovers that Alice led a secret, double life. A series of clues lead the family to Lake Mungo where Alice's secret past emerges. Lake Mungo is a mystery, a thriller and a ghost story.
“Ghostly shenanigans are dryly delivered in the ambitious, restrained and well-mounted Oz mockumentary "Lake Mungo.”
— Russell Edwards, Variety
“Throughout a compelling slow build, Aussie writer-director Joel Anderson’s debut feature cleaves close to reality, making a climactic otherworldly event earn its shock value and ensuring the resulting disquiet lingers.”
— Megan Lehmann, The Hollywood Reporter
