I would actually stop short of calling it a horror movie, though. It\u2019s much more of a somber drama on death and omens with a supernatural overlay that drags it into the horror genre, but just barely. About the Palmer family coming to terms with the loss of their teenage daughter Alice, it\u2019d be disingenuous to describe <em>Lake Mungo<\/em> as a found footage film. It purports itself to be a straightforward paranormal documentary, more like a feature-length episode of <em>Sightings<\/em> than a concept akin to <em>The Blair Witch Project<\/em>. The film puts forward a dark, brooding mood that is unique and starkly contrasted by the lush photography of Australia\u2019s bright, warm landscape. <em>Lake Mungo<\/em> is remarkably effective at sparking a queasy feeling that there is some large incomprehensible force acting against us in the world, which speaks towards the film\u2019s major inspiration: <em>Twin Peaks<\/em>. Alice Palmer, just like Laura Palmer, was a teenager hiding multiple layers to her personality from both her friends and family, leading her down a fatalistic path of destruction that led to her death at the hands of something from beyond the veil. This isn\u2019t a knock on the film in the least; I was actually taken by how clever the reference was. Besides, if you\u2019re going to lift something, might as well lift from the best, right?

You watch Australian horror to confront the barbarism of humanity and contemplate whether or not the asteroid should just hit us now, granting a quick apocalypse rather than the slow bleed we\u2019re currently experiencing. <em>Hounds of Love<\/em> is a brutal, ugly, and painful watch. When Vicki (Ashleigh Cummings) trusts the wrong couple, she finds herself imprisoned in a reality of violence and domination. The Whites are monsters of the finest, psychotic order. You watch in a hypnotic trance as the young woman attempts to ignite hostility between the demonic duo, and while hope seems too precious a commodity to succumb to within Australian Cinema, you will find yourself sinking into it.<em> Hounds of Love<\/em> is a gorgeously shot nightmare, where your blood pumps vigorously, and your emotions are ground into numbness, but when the credits roll, you know you\u2019ve just witnessed something magnificent. A second watch is in your future (perhaps as a marathon of the best Australian horror movies). Maybe even a third watch or a fourth watch, but you\u2019ll need significant space between each compulsory viewing.

Enter in a zombie plague, and the fight for survival becomes increasingly daunting. As Andy heads further into the bush he crosses paths with Aboriginal communities, and the film effectively reckons with the implications of who, exactly, has historically had to fight to survive on the land they call home. The film is sharp, emotionally powerful, and a perfect example of all that Oz horror has to offer.
