The premise

After 16-year-old Alice Palmer drowns at a local dam, her family experiences a series of strange, inexplicable events centered in and around their home. Unsettled, the Palmers seek the help of a psychic and parapsychologist, who discovers that Alice led a secret, double life. At Lake Mungo, Alice's secret past emerges.

Horror Vault's take

Presented as a documentary, Lake Mungo follows the Palmer family in the aftermath of their teenage daughter's tragic drowning — a loss that refuses to stay quiet. Strange occurrences ripple through the household, drawing them toward a psychic and a parapsychologist in search of answers. As investigators dig deeper, they uncover a side of Alice her family never knew existed, raising questions about how well we truly know the people we love. Equal parts ghost story and portrait of grief, it lingers long after the credits roll.
