SIC PICKS October 14 – 20

Gareth’s Picks   Lake Mungo (2008) This film often makes the scariest films of all time lists and rightly so.  Filmed like a documentary, it investigates the death of a young woman in Australia.  Slowly, things are revealed and the general ambiance of the film will fill you with dread and despair.  Definitely one that will make you think as well.

Available on TUBI     Nosferatu (1922 […]
