Picnic at Hanging Rock
One Valentine's Day, a girls boarding school's typically strict headmistress treats the girls to a picnic field trip to an unusual but scenic volcanic formation called Hanging Rock. During the picnic, a few students and a teacher vanish without a trace and their absence frustrates and haunts the people left behind.
