Ta gueule, laisse-moi finir.

Y'know, gently caress you guys. Lake Mungo started out really interesting, an intricate ghost story that was just like the well made ghost documentaries out there. Then it got really, really sad and upsetting. I mean, it got really good again after that, but drat there was just a really ugly twist in there.

I enjoyed it, but drat did that middle part sting.

Been a while since I saw it, what are you referring to?

The first season of Riget is my favorite season of any show. It's so hilariously bizarre and unsettling :allears:

I feel like the first episode of Inside No. 9, Sardines, was probably influenced a lot by Thomas Vinterberg's movie The Celebration, which is, I think, the ultimate feeling-claustrophobic-at-a-family-reunion movie. I can't remember if it's been talked about in this thread before, but it sort of fits the thread theme. The set-up is simple (a family have a reunion to celebrate the patriarch's sixtieth birthday and a secret from the past is revealed), but the way it's shot and acted makes it feel grossly realistic. While it's not scary, I found it unsettling as hell and I felt nauseous for the rest of the day after watching it.

I never finished Sleep Tight because I was too creeped out halfway through. Is it worth going back just to see the ending?

For what it's worth, the IMDb page claims that the dialogue was largely improvised.
