When a Walkabout turns into a terrifying run...Part 2

In my last post I mentioned a few more Australian horror films that I had wanted to see.  Well, I've seen them, or at least a couple of them: Primal and  Lake Mungo.  Primal was just OK.  The story line wasn't anything unique.  It's about a group of friends, which includes the jock, nerd, cutesy couple, clueless girl and girl victim who drive out into the middle of nowhere to view cave art that  hasn't been seen in over 100 years.  One of the friends (girl from cutesy couple) decides to go skinny dipping and comes out of the water covered in leeches.  Soon after, she develops a fever, becomes violently ill and loses all of her teeth.  Soon after that, she appears to become some sort of cannibalistic creature who is afraid of fire and is very similar to the creature portrayed in the cave art.  She kills the nerd and runs off into the woods.  In the mean time, the rest of the group sets a trap for her.  They trap her successfully, but she escapes and chases the jock into the water.  He comes out covered in leeches and soon begins to exhibit the same symptoms as the (now-creature) cutesy girl.  He kills the boyfriend and runs off.  Both he and cutesy girl come back only to drag clueless girl off into the woods, presumably to her death.  Now, the only one left is the girl victim, who doesn't seem so much a victim anymore since ( so far ) she has survived.  She escapes into the cave that has the cave art...and by the way,  she is afraid of the dark.  At this point in the movie there are about 15 minutes left, so I don't want to give away the ending, such that it is.  The movie wasn't terrible, it just wasn't anything new.
         Lake Mungo on the other hand, was a pleasant surprise.  If you are expecting a scare-fest, action-packed movie then you may be disappointed.  This movie is about a family that is trying to cope with the drowning death of their daughter.  Through interviews and video footage, the audience learn that soon after the daughter's death, the family begins to experience strange events.  For example, the father tells of sitting on the bed in his daughter's room when all of a sudden she walks in.  She appears not to see him until he makes a small movement.  Once she notices him, she screams at the top of her lungs for him to get out.  Again, according to the father, this all happens AFTER the daughter's death.  Neighbors and friends are also interviewed and tell similar stories about seeing this girl in photographs and just sensing her still around.  Later, you find out that the son has faked some of the photographs and many people soon believe it all to be a hoax.  When the son confesses to faking some of the pictures of his sister, he also states that he discovered a neighbor peeking through a window in one of the pictures.  Apparently, the neighbor was looking for a videotape of himself, his wife and the drowned girl in a few compromising positions.  After, the family is still experiencing strange occurrences and comes to discover that the daughter suffered from guilt over the affair with the neighbor and began to see a hypnotherapist.  It turns out that she was also experiencing strange events in her life days before her murder.  In the last part of the movie, the audience finds out what those strange events are.  This movie didn't scare me, but I kept thinking about it days after I watched it.  It is a quietly, disturbing movie.
