11. Lake Mungo (2008)
If you want a film that is creepy but also tears your heartstrings apart, then I heavily recommend Lake Mungo. Set in a mockumentary style, the film focuses on the family of Alice Palmer, a 16 year old who drowned at the titular Lake Mungo during their vacation. Even though it felt like one of those lame Discovery Channel specials, it still had me on edge and also oddly emotional at the same time. This is the only horror film that had me tearing up more than actually being scared. The overall theme is more family oriented, and while there are scary factors associated with it, you’ll want to hug your mom once the credits start rolling
