Picnic at Hanging Rock is about a boarding school for young girls named Appleyard College. It is a very strict school and the girls are suppresses on all levels. On Valentines Day they get a field trip to Hanging Rock, which is supposed to be associated with a volcano. It is almost a mythical and wonderful place. With a lot of mystery shrouded around it. Anyways the story continues where four girls wonder off into Hanging Rock and three mysteriously vanish. The teacher goes to look for them and ends up misses herself. The rest of the movie is spent trying to find these girls and the teacher. Many questions arise on their disappearance, Was it kidnapping, did they get lost, did they fall in a hole? Throughout the rest of the movie there is the teeter-totter between foul play and accident. One of the girls was found but had no recollection of the incident. Also the teacher was found dead.

This is defiantly a suspense film, and they do a good job of it, I got sucked in immediately. It is not too bad of a movie, but the one thing I actually liked is that the viewer can really make up his or her mind on what happened to the girls. Because it ends with out any real answer to what happened to the girls.
