Lake Mungo (Anderson, 2008): BFI Southbank, NFT2, 8.50pm


This film is part of the ‘Terror Vision’ strand at BFI Southbank.

BFI Southbank introduction:
Despite being one of this century’s most critically acclaimed horror films, Joel Anderson’s multi-layered faux-documentary remains criminally underseen. Following the sudden death of their 16-year-old daughter, the distraught Palmer family invite a psychic and a parapsychologist into their home to uncover the truth behind the tragedy. A beautifully constructed meditation on grief, Lake Mungo is as tender as it is terrifying.

Here (and above) is the trailer.
