What critics compared Lake Mungo to
Yet James captures that sense of incremental, irrevocable loss, balancing the uncanny and the intimate in a way rarely seen since Joel Anderson's 2009 funeral march, Lake Mungo.
Think of the creep-factor of Lake Mungo (2008) mixed with the violence of The Loved Ones (2009) and the emotion of The Babadook (2014) and Relic (2020).
