	It's the month of October, the month of Halloween.  Therefore, I've been watching a slew of horror/thriller movies.  Which lead me to the nearly four year old Australian thriller entitled "Lake Mungo".  The film is fantastic.  Shot in a quasi documentary/found-footage mode, it brilliantly capitalizes on gritty, barely-seen, disturbing images.  It is truly creepy, and adroitly has the viewer guessing is this real, or make-believe. 
 
I cannot recommend this movie enough.  Not since Women in Black, have I been so creeped out.  "Lake Mungo" gets a well-deserved FOUR COURSE MEAL review.
