Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
dpraptor I have to say this movie really threw me, but with so many children going missing every year, this makes a very strong point, if not overly exaggerated. But who really knows by how much? When you see the kinds of murderers that are out there, this may not be too far from what could happen. Look at Gacy, Bundy, Pichushkin, Jack the Ripper, stalkers in general, and this movie may not be that far fetched. I say well done, I hope this movie will wake up younger people to be much more careful. All the people who down voted this probably are very selfish people who really dont care about this kind of thing happening. Good Job Michael!
grungerevised Only thing that freaked me out where the two pictures. And even at that, it just looked like Sam from ICarly.
Maz Murdoch (asda-man) Every self-respecting weird person who's looking to get disturbed has heard of Megan Is Missing. The only reason I sought out the film is because I'd read how so many people find it horrendously disturbing. If you hop on to the IMDb message boards (always a good place to find opinions by level-headed people) then you'll find a lot of posts by self- confessed horror movie addicts saying how they found the last twenty minutes of Megan Is Missing to be the most haunting thing they've ever seen in a horror film which is quite a big statement! I'm also one of those people who don't really find many films disturbing. The Human Centipede 2 didn't particularly bother me and I managed to watch Salo alone in the dark pretty comfortably (ish) so I'm always on the lookout for films that might actually give me sleepless nights.Megan Is Missing is atrocious. Let's get that out the way first, it is absolutely embarrassingly bad. As soon as it started my eyes widened in terror at the beyond horrendous acting from the two main characters in the film, Megan and Amy. Both of them can't act for a toffee apple and even that's being kind. Megan's wooden bedpost is probably the best actor in the whole film and steals the show. Although, let's face it there really isn't much of a show to steal. It presents itself as a true story, but this is impossible to take seriously thanks to the stilted acting and forced chemistry between Megan and Amy.As soon as the film starts we're treated to dialogue from Amy which goes something like, "We're filming on my expensive new video camera, Daddy loves me." To which Megan replies, "My Daddy loves me too, slut" and we get a painfully wooden, "Bitch!" Back from Amy. Such Shakespearean dialogue continues throughout the film and it's probably supposed to sound like natural 14 year-old girl banter, but the actors deliver their lines like their reading them from the cameraman holding up a cardboard sign. It's just a total cringe-fest and the characters couldn't get any more stereotypical or two dimensional if they tried. We've got Megan the confident, popular school bike and Amy the unpopular, angelic prude.There is an attempt to build up characters but it just ends up resulting in ridiculous clichés. At one point I even predicted in my head exactly what Megan was going to say as she breaks down awkwardly on camera about her dysfunctional upbringing. We also get treated to a needlessly long monologue from Megan about her first sexual experience which just ends up sounding like dialogue from a porn film. I also liked the director's idea of a teen house party complete with torch lights and girls randomly jumping up and down going "woo!"It's a found footage film so it's essential for it to have a realistic atmosphere, which it fails at miserably. It does make for unintentionally hilarious viewing though. It's about a girl talking to a randomer over the Internet and ending up missing after going to meet him (surprise, surprise) but the film is extremely heavy-handed with these themes. It almost feels like a student film at times, especially when they try to create news footage. I actually laughed out loud at one point where they do a re-construction of the kidnapping. I also loved the part where the newsreader teases the next story about a cocker spaniel driving a car through a shop window! I'm not kidding, the filmmakers should've made a film based on that idea.Basically, the first hour of Megan Is Missing is an hilarious example of how not to make a film. But then the next 20 minutes arrive and everything changes. It's difficult to talk about the last 20 minutes without giving away big plot twists, but I can say that it did actually disturb me. The acting gets a little more convincing (big stress on 'little') and the film becomes relentlessly terrifying. The unintentional funniness disappears and we're presented with a genuinely chilling atmosphere of horror and a sobering sense of realism. Some people say that it's like some sort of indulgent fetish thing for the director but I think it's actually done in a way that's not too exploitative or gratuitous. It's actually a well-made bit of harrowing horror.So, Megan Is Missing is a film of two halves and both halves are horrendous for different reasons. The first three quarters have no redeeming qualities, whereas the last quarter has the power to genuinely shock and unsettle without over-stepping the mark or trying to be nasty for the sake of it. It's a difficult film to recommend, but if you know what you're getting in to and are a hardened horror fan then it's definitely worth one watch. Most of it is total rubbish but in the end it presented some truly frightening ideas which did haunt me and will probably continue to haunt me for some time. So that has got to be worth something, hasn't it?
benjaminborrelli To put it in simple , it's seriously one of the worst movies I have ever seen It features some of the worst directing, acting, cinematography, logic and pretty much anything you can think of that is vital to the production of a movie. I can not take anyone seriously if they say they enjoyed this movie.Don't get me wrong, I get what they were aiming for, but they did it in the most illogical and unrealistic piece of s*** way possible! It's almost like Michael Goi doesn't know a single thing about the internet or teenagers in general, but we see him on reddit and IMDb all the time? Good Job Goi! (Who elected this guy president of the ASC? Seriously?)I also really don't understand how the movie managed to feature terrible acting from the ENTIRE cast, seriously how did all this get through editing and post-production?TL;DR Don't waste your time watching this movie, it is absolute garbage.
