Anyway, the slow documentary format and seeping eerie atmosphere may be underwhelming compared to a lot of other Horror with its jump-scares and buckets of gore, but it's probably aiming for an entirely different audience and evocative for people such as me who saw something like Ghostwatch live as a child and were running around in fits.
A bit of a back handed way of saying if you didn't enjoy it its because you're a gore fiend. Whilst I class Martyrs and Angst as the two greatest horrors of all time (both of which have fantastic atmosphere and a sense of unease, Martyrs primarily in the first act), I also have Kill List, Raw, Mother, Audition, Session 9, The House of the Devil, The Shining, Babycall, Calvaire, Goodnight Mommy, Possession, Under The Skin, The Eyes of My Mother, Kyua, Evolution and multiple others up there as fantastic slower burn, atmospheric horror.
The reason I didn't buy into Mungo was primarily due to finding the acting second rate, the atmosphere pretty much non-existent, and the supposed scares to be nothing more than putting an
eerie figure into some stills, plus a bit of video. They weren't jump scares, more generic 'here's a figure isn't it haunting' As with all horror I'm entirely fine with anyone enjoying whatever (bar Blumhouse, fuck a Blumhouse), but the suggestion quoted, or my reading of it, above is a bit bollocks.
Also I took Eddie's posts as more humour, hammering home a point for a laugh rather than a fuck you for liking it bias.
