The idea that your afterlife could be you trapped in a house that is no longer your home, in a world that no longer has a place for you. Alone, ignored, afraid and sorrowful. Forever. That's a far more terrifying ghost to me than a vengeful, aggressive ghost.

True tradegy of ghosts is that you cannot hug them :(

The spookiest part to me was when Ally is telling the medium about her dream, she is literally describing being in her bedroom, her mother walking in and not seeing her, not speaking. This is exactly what her mother does after she has died...as if not only did she see her own corpse in premonitions, but her own future as a ghost, alone in the house, unnoticed. That's what hits so hard... they move away, able to move on, and she's left alone, the very thing she feared and saw in her dreams. It's super unsettling. Great storytelling!

**SEMI-SPOILERS AHEAD TO ANOTHER FILM** Great pick up Mushman - I watched this film last night and was trying to explain to myself why it was I was still feeling unsettled after the film - and it wasn't because of the reveal of Alice's actual ghost existing. There was a deep, harrowing sadness, and I think the fact that even in death her family didn't really know or see her (as mentioned in some of the other comments) is what makes this hit home. I compare this to a similarly unsettling film: 'Personal Shopper' with Kristen Stewart (highly recommend). Compared to the ending of Lake Mungo, I found the ending of Personal Shopper - another story where grief is the real ghost - almost uplifting.

This movie is fantastic, especially the ending. The family thinks that by solving the mystery like Alice wanted them to, they've put her spirit to rest, because she doesn't seem to be haunting them anymore. But the photo of her staring wistfully out at them standing on the lawn implies that her problems weren't solved at all. It's just that because her family has gotten closure and moved on that they can't feel her there anymore. Poor Alice.

The fact that nobody notices her, she's just stuck alone forever, her ghost is right in front of her mom and she will never see her; god this is such a heavy film.

I interpreted that final zoom-in on Alice's ghost completely differently. To me it means that even though the family is now at peace and move out of the house believing that Alice is at peace, she is actually still there in the house. The family has moved on and left her behind, dooming her to be alone forever.

100% agree, I don't think this film had a 'happy' ending at all. The family maybe believed everything was smoothed over and they were beginning to move on. But Alice was still there, and I think the fact she was in the images but unnoticed mirrored her life - she was not really known to anyone and its sad to essentially see her being overlooked in death also. There was ALOT going on this film, and I think it went a little deeper than even I can see, but I defiantly don't think this is a happy ending.

That is how I interpreted it as well. In the end, the medium talked to Alice and the Mom. Alice seemed to have a curse or gift of premonition, and she said that her mom walked into the room and did not notice her and left. Her mom said that she walked into Alice room, and it was empty. She left the room. I think that was how the scene went down. Just wow.

YES! Lake Mungo FINALLY getting the respect it deserves. As a filmmaker it scares the HELL out of me that a low budget film that was so well made could be forgotten so easily. The director never made anything else after this, probably because of how few people saw and acknowledged his film. But as time goes on more and more people are discovering this and acknowledging how well made it is.

I had a very different take on the ending. I felt it was showing that Alice was left behind, alone in their home, perpetually trapped. I also think that the mother lied in the interview; I think that she did see her daughter in the room, or felt her presence, and decided to leave anyway. I think she left either for the sake of her husband and son's mental well being, or because she was simply in denial and couldn't accept that her daughter was still there while she could do nothing for her, or darkest of all, because she realized that she never really knew her daughter anyway, that they were always just strangers.

Wow, great video, but while I wholeheartedly agree that this is the saddest horror movie ever, I 100% disagree with your conclusion. Alice isn’t “with” the family at the end, or watching over them. The family moved on, and Alice is left behind. This is spelled out in one of the later scenes, when Alice is recounting her dream to the psychic, about her mother not being able to see her, spliced together with June’s present time walk-through of the house, feeling confident there is no ghostly presence remaining. This makes the movie much sadder and, in my mind, is the real source of its horror. The living move on. The dead are left behind

I took away something completely different... and now I think I have to go back and rewatch Lake Mungo. Spoilers below... 1) It's mentioned that Alice complains about having bad dreams about her family ignoring her and leaving her. Something about them moving out and no matter how much she screams they can't hear her. 2) it's revealed that her "ghost" was in the doctored photos the entire time. 3) the bad dreams Alice describes play out scene by scene as they show the family moving out of their house. Living Alice was seeing into her future and beyond her death. She not only had the encounter at Lake Mungo, but she was seeing how her family would be after her death... but she didn't realize it was "after her death" reactions she was foreseeing. Tragically, her ghost is haunting her family, but as they did in life they don't notice her.

Exactly. There’s also the scene where they intercut Alice’s session with the psychic and her mother’s session after Alice’s death. The mom sees herself in Alice’s room one last time as the family is moving out of the house and says, “Alice isn’t here.” Then she leaves. Alice says her mom walks into her room but “She doesn’t know I’m here.” The family moved on with their lives, even moved away. They left Alice behind. I love this movie. So many layers.

Strange how no one mentions that her mother truly had nightmares and they matched with Alice's dreams of her being at the top of thir beds screaing for help but being completely ignored.

For me, this movie is so scary because of how the past, present, and future all converge on this one girl and how she is a helpless spectator in her life and death, destined to be alone and forgotten. I found it very chilling after I finished the movie and still think about it every now and again.

I want to call out some things I don’t really see elsewhere in the comments: This movie gets away with so many little details that are even creepier when you realize how unresolved they are. Here’s some details I found really creepy. - What was up with the bruises? - Whatever happened to the Tooheys? - What was up with the extremely strange behavior from the mom and the brother, was it just grief or is there more implied there? - Why didn’t the psychic tell the family she had been seeing him? Why didn’t he reach out to the family about her dreams? - What else don’t we know about her life? In most ways she seems like a lost, hurting, exploited girl - but in some ways she also seems a bit sinister, like there’s more to her own story - How did she manage to drown after all? Maybe some or all of these have explanations that can be pieced together in the details of the movie, but there’s ultimately this sense of dread and mystery and uneasiness that makes it all so unnerving.

She's always been able to see hints of not just her imminent death, but also what comes after. She just isn't able to put it all together until she sees herself at the lake that night. She is not looking over them in the backyard with the last picture... she is still there begging not to be left behind but knows she can't be heard. Now, as a ghost, she has the knowledge of her living past... and infinite lonely afterlife , but cannot change anything.

@@thederp9183 I don't know the exact time cause I don't have the movie on hand, but it is around the time when her and her friends are out in the outback or dessert and it is night time. She drifts off on her own for a second, and is recording herself walking, and she starts to see somebody in the distance. Thinking it's one of her friends or someone, she is filming on her phone and her camera comes up really close to her own image, all bloated up, white and puffy from the drowning. It's fricking terrifying. I would say it's about 2/3 through the movie. It's more towards the end I believe. That is one of the scariest moments in filming history to me, because I was watching this by myself when I first seen it.

I went into it knowing it was fake, but I often wonder what it would have been like watching it without that knowledge. I'm a skeptical person, and don't really believe in the paranormal, but this movie is so well done, I'm guessing I'd have been questioning a lot of my beliefs by the end if I thought it was real. Oh well, still a great film/experience regardless, and deserves far more recognition, and praise than it received. Maybe then we'd get "horror" films like this, instead of "Saw 34", and "Annabelle 12", or whatever the hell they're on.

Damn, I can't get over how good the phone footage ghost scare was. The ambient atmosphere, the mysterious white presence slowly walking towards the camera, and alice's quote foreshadowing her fate really did make me back away from my screen. Scares like these are special to me, cause they can't really be experienced in a normal horror cinema. You gotta be cooped up in a dark room with fullscreen on to really get that feel

The interweaving of the themes at the very end is storytelling perfection. This review is great but somewhat brushed past how great it is. The recorded sessions with the medium between the daughter and the mother and what they claim to see separately in Alice’s room is one of the most heartbreaking moments I’ve ever seen in a film. She was never truly seen in life and in death, not even by her own mother, who leaves her thinking she’s in peace.

When I was watching the film, I found a convincing parallel between Alice Palmer and Laura Palmer (from Twin Peaks). How their bodies were discovered in water bodies, how they lived a double life without anybody else knowing about it, how their family had to deal with the untimely deaths, the impact they had on others' lives, etc; and to top it off, their surnames. I'd take a wild guess and say that the director was heavily inspired by Twin Peaks. Also, I thank Ryan for introducing us to this gem of a film. ❤

Apparently that was a consensual relationship.

One thing to mention is that throughout the film the daughter and mother relationship is shown as rocky, however during the entire film we do see that they’re actually more connected than anyone else in the family. With them both sharing the same dream of the mother seeing her daughter by the bed and the daughter dreaming of her being by her parents bed. Also obviously at the end of them describing the same exact vision / hallucination of the mother walking through the house into the daughter’s bedroom and the daughter being in the bedroom when her mother walks in. Sad thing to note, the family at the end think the “puzzle” is solved and her daughter is at peace but the very last photo they take shows her watching them from inside the house as they’re leaving her behind, by herself. I think the daughter still wasn’t at peace but far from it

@bradfin12

It doesn't say that the relationship is rocky but it also doesn't show them connecting at all in fact the end of the movie happens because the mother fails to connect to the daughter psychically leading to the family moving. The movie says that like June's mother June has an emotional wall up that prevented her from letting Alice in and laments that she fears Alice might have died unsure about how much she loves Alice.

People have said it but *Hereditary* is a horror film literally rooted in feelings of grief and anguish that we will all probably experience, and the horror part comes from knowing that Annie's emotions were an absolutely correct (though subconscious) response to the evil net closing around her family. The shot of Charlie's poor little head in the road, and Annie on her hands and knees screaming 'I JUST WANT TO DIE' like she's giving birth in reverse was the most shattering thing I saw in the cinema this year.

This film is a masterpiece and has, in my opinion, a lot of symbolism as well. I think that the encounter Alice had with the neighbors was not just a plot device that finally lead the parents to discover the phone and the truth about what happened. Maybe there was not consent after all and that deteriorated Alice's mental health which in combination with the fact that her parents were already emotionally distant broke her. Maybe the death was self inflicted. The ghost was a representation of her mental illness and maybe a sign that she had to do it. She buried her things as a funeral for herself, by herself because she felt alone. She then died surrounded by the people she loved as a final goodbye to them. The opening line was not just a bad premonition but what she was actually planning to do because she felt she had no other choice.

Great usage of Silent Hill 4's "Room of Angel" in this review. That track really suits the tone of this movie.

The last shot of the movie isn't the photo of the family standing outside their former home. It's reserved for after the credits end. A strange, repetitive electronic beeping is heard ( Resembling the sound an ECG makes). Light flashes and we see Lake Mungo at night, the dark silhouette of Alice standing at the center; for a split second. Lightning flashes six more times and we see her standing still. There is an indication that time is moving fast while Alice is motionless (Clouds illuminated by flashes of light swirl by). No idea what it means but that is unsettling and probably supposed to further the movie's lore.

That scene after the credits reminded alot of Twin Peaks the return, especially the flashback episode that is all black and white. To me it is there to reinforce the theme that we will not understand what happened to Alice because we will never understand death. It shows she is still alive in the afterlife because she cannot come to terms with her fate, that she is dead, and her family is still trying to come to terms with her death as well as their own morality. And as viewers we struggle to come to terms with it as well. They will never truly forget her because how can you ever forget a family member who died too early? You can move on but their memory will keep her alive, in a sense, even if it is a painful one. Her death and encounter at lake Mungo being unresolved gives us as a viewer that same feeling. There is a whole world after we die that we can't understand. We will never understand death (until we die at least) which is terrifying. And death is certain. We will die some day as Alice did, we chose to not look at it. But she was forced to. This movie takes every ghost horror trope and turns it upside down. Literally we find out halfway through the photos are faked by her brother. It actively challenges us and plays us because we are so accustomed these tropes, probably why so many people are frustrated with this movie. But If it told us how and why she died we would have forgotten and moved on like what happens in most horror movies. This is a very self aware movie. From themes, to plot devices, technical creation (choosing to be documentary) it uses existing horror tropes to move the plot forward while also transcending them and subverting the viewers expectations. Referring to twin peaks, that show did the same thing, and is vital in my understanding of this movie. David lynch never wanted the killer of Laura palmer to be discovered but was forced to by producers and Frost. Becuase as soon as we find the murder everything gets wrapped up with a nice bow and we move on. But in real life, people cant just move on from a death of a loved one. A death like that cant just be forgotten. Lake mungo took this idea, it's understanding of grief and made an extremely effective horror movie that taps into to our fear of the unknown world of death and gives it an extremely realistic take on it. Really a fantastic movie that is extremely well crafted in subverting expectations, using horror tropes and red herrings to drive these themes home and challenge viewers to think, feel and derive their own personal understanding of grief to Alice and her family greifing. Also this scene after the credits is significant for viewers because it breaks the 4th wall. This is the only scene that isnt created by the fictional documentary crew or someone in the movie. Why would a film crew have footage like that?? Seems like a stretch. This is because now we are haunted by this lack of understanding as was the palmer family. The movie is self aware it is a movie, and that was the directors intention. Not only to blur fiction and reality but also characters in the movie and us as a viewer watching it. Ghosts lived in the photos and videos taken in the fictional world. Now Alices ghost is haunting us as viewers through that final scene. Transcending the documentary to our real world. A very nice touch to end on and very meta. The director was 100% a fan of twin peaks without a doubt. The ending scene was a very small detail but adds so much. Great film making in my opinion.

I saw this movie in a psychology class and we were presented it like a documentary by our professor. It was a good lesson for us in perception and framing.

I feel you left some important things out. For example, I can't stop thinking about that session with Ray in which she says she was watching her parents when they were sleeping and then started to cry. I mean, she is speaking of an event that already took place, cause she was alive in the tape, BUT that exact shot of her watching over her parents was one of the shots discovered in those tapes they planted AFTER starting to have some paranormal experiences. Another example is the Lake Mungo scene. She saw an anterior future self of hers. I mean, it's like Alice and her ghost (or whatever that was) broke what we know about time and space. This thought terrified me the most and I still can't fully comprehend what happened.

Glad you noticed that! I’ve seen it 4 times and I always pick up on small details like that. Later on the father says he doesn’t believe in ghosts and tries to brush everything off as silly. Then at the end after the phone footage, he’s asked what he thinks she saw and he pauses, before saying “I think she saw a ghost.”

Losing a child is such a pain that only a parent could understand. That ending had me in tears, specially since none of them made it out of the red room. They all die.

*SPOILERS* Did anyone else feel like the whole neighbour thing was actually a lot more disturbing and dark than most of the ghostly stuff in the movie (not counting the cellphone doppelgänger scene, that shit traumatised me) she was babysitting for about 2 years, she died at 16 so therefore she started at around 14, we don’t know how many encounters she had with the neighbours and how long it was going on for, plus, in the tape they found, you don’t see/hear much but it sounded like she might’ve been crying, it’s not clear but it opens up the possibility that maybe they were sexually abusing her, and even if they weren’t, she was still underage, it just made my skin crawl and it was frustrating and sad when they got away with it, i understand it’s not a massive part of the movie and I may be way off but that just shows how great and disturbing this movie is, there’s so many things to talk about, mainly how she actually died, I feel like because that was never really looked into that much, she actually wasn’t free at all in the end, the family moved away leaving her spirit unrested, I had to remind myself that it’s just a movie when I finished watching because of how well it was done, it definitely left a hollow and unnerving feeling

By the time the movie ended, I wanted to see the neighbors killed. What they did was disgusting, and the fact that they got away with it is disturbing. It made me feel like the neighbors were the reason Alice couldn't find peace, whether because they killed her, or just because of the guilt and shame she would have been left with. It seemed like the only way for her to have found peace would have been for the neighbors to have been caught and brought to justice. But that didn't happen, and I'm left with the feeling that Alice would never have been able to be at peace, and that angers me to the point that it's genuinely painful.

I guess I didn’t pay close attention to her age at the time but I couldn’t get over the fact that footage of the sex existed and that Alice somehow acquired it. I can’t think of any reason why it’d be filmed and that Alice would have been given a copy of unless all parties consented which as you say doesn’t seem likely based on the circumstances. It doesn’t make sense.

If you haven’t already, check out “The Devil’s Backbone”. Another fantastic horror film by Guillermo Del Toro.

the cell phone part actually gave me chills when the foreshadowed corpse jumps at the screen. i also like how after it happens Alice becomes really disoriented and it feels like she is under water trying to reorient herself.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Really really sad.

Me: *getting sad for real* Ryan: It's completely fictional

I just watched this movie a couple of days ago. It was incredibly terrifying. As you said, it's one of the biggest pieces of existential horror I think I've ever seen. Also, in agreement with you, it's one of the saddest movies I've ever seen. I've lost people who, after losing them, I came to find out things about them that were just absolutely shocking. I really like your interpretation of the ghostly images revealed at the end, because I honestly wasn't entirely sure that was really a happy thing myself. My knowledge of ghosts is that if they continue to linger, there's still something keeping them from passing on. My thoughts were that, while the surviving family members have found peace and have been able to move on with their lives, Alice still hasn't and is trapped. It seems clear she didn't hold any denial about her impending death, she didn't seem to accept it either. It also calls into question what other secrets she had or continues to have, as well as her regrets.

I saw this movie 12 years ago, when it came out. To this day, I never forgot the scene where Alice sees her own corpse. It was eerie, chilling, and unsettling in a way I wasn't expecting. I guess one of the reasons is that the movie sweeps the rug under you so often. We're so used to accepting the supernatural in a movie like this that the pictures of Alice created by the brother I immediately took as proof of the supernatural. But when that belief is taken away and they focus on the neighbor, I assumed it was going for a real killer route and the supernatural was a red herring. But then that fucking scene. It's not just the content within, but the context where it was placed -- in any other horror movie it might not have been that scary, but after what we had seen up until that point, it was a punch in the gut.

I really didn't expect Ryan to have such a positive takeaway from this ending. Especially since it doesn't tie to what he spent the whole video talking about. No one knew Alice. She felt alone. She had to deal with premonitions of her own death, with no one noticing her anxiety. Her becoming a ghost just makes that more literal. They literally don't see her, and she has been abandoned.

Few scenes have sent chills down my spine like the one filmed on the phone, at Lake Mungo at night near the end. So simple yet it holds so much weight and the soundtrack for it was perfect.

Glad someone is finally talking about this movie, it’s honestly one of the most terrifying and effective horror films of the last decade.

This is one of my favorite mockumentaries, thanks for making a video of it. When you asked what was one of the saddest horror movies I've seen the first thing that came up was A Tale of Two Sisters (S.Korean). The melody is one that sticks in one's head, weeks after seeing it.
