vixenwench-856-618860 Michael Boi tried to excuse this inane attempt at a movie by saying it was supposed to caution people about internet predators. This is just exploitation. A total waste of time. Who the hell calls internet video chat "webbing"?! Did the director really believe that's how teenagers talk? And supposedly he took the blowjob description "word-for-word" from interviewing a 13-year-old girl! I think the only thing he did remotely correct was to show me how to dispose of this DVD. Seal it in a plastic barrel with decayed human remains and then bury it in a shallow grave late at night. So glad they recorded every FaceTime message and their webcams were constantly recording whenever they used their computer. The "torture porn" picture that was "too disturbing" for a fetish site's webmaster could have easily been my last appointment at the orthodontist.

Afotey Annum Megan Is Missing is the fictional account of two young girls who are seduced and kidnapped by a online predator. As a fan of mockumentaries and found footage films, I'd have to say that this ranks up there with some of the best ones in the horror genre. Mainly because it's very, deeply, incredibly unsettling. From a gore perspective, it's rather tame. There is not a single scene that shows someone actually being killed. It's mainly the aftermath that you see. I found that the way this story was told was brilliant, to be honest. Its relatively minimalist approach to backstory exposition, particularly regarding Megan's abuse as a child, is incredibly effective in establishing the causes for some of her extremely questionable actions in this film. She does things that are arguably nonsensical, but when she explains how she was molested as a ten year old by her camp counselor (in EXCRUCIATINGLY harrowing detail), you kind of understand why she does those things. Speaking of acting, I see reviews that chide the performances based mainly on decisions the girls and their friends make. They seem to forget that these are supposed to be relatively clueless teenage girls, and by default are SUPPOSED to make stupid decisions. Amber Perkins as Amy Herman is particularly good in her portrayal of an innocent 13-year old girl, convincing even as the horrible things that happen to her during the last act are happening. You really feel sorry for her as she pleads for her life, rather convincingly.And that last act...sheesh.Starting with the two photos of Megan that were found on the fake fetish website in the S & M contraption, broken, bruised, bloody, absolutely TERROR-STRICKEN...those all-too-brightly-lit pictures, coupled with what the film conveys about how evil the antagonist is, had me stunned. The stark, exposed, abject vulnerability in her eyes is something that sticks with me even as I type this.Also, the way the antagonist breaks the spirit and will of Amy in the final act is positively soul crushing. The part when he rapes her is as deplorable as anything I've seen in Irreversible, I Spit On Your Grave or Blindness. As a parent to a thirteen year old girl, this movie was really hard to watch. I recommend it to anyone who is a fan of found footage horror. Very, very, very disturbing stuff.

skuggi_drago I found this on Hulu and decided to give it a shot. I was expecting a Lifetime style drama about how talking to strangers on the internet is bad. What I got however was a found footage style thriller/horror film. It opens by explaining this is based on true events and then goes on to portray the footage as "real". You are told from the beginning when the girls go missing. The majority of the film is spent following the very stereotypical girls doing cliché teenage stuff. The acting goes back and forth from being painfully believable and just feeling really forced. After Megan's disappearance the creepy element really starts to kick in. There is one scene where Amy is sitting under a bridge with a teddy bear. While she is explaining why she keeps it there, a figure appears in the background behind some bushes. It is a very simple thing, but the way it was done creeped me out. From here on the movie takes a turn for the very dark and disturbing in a way that I wish I had been warned ahead of time about. The last 20ish minutes is very hard to watch and I would not recommend that anyone who is easily triggered watch this. It has been a few days since I watched this movie, and the images from the last half are still sticking with me.

Alexandre Angelus Lapsis Simard this movie sucked what are there using smart phones in 1993? duh and for a found footage movie the interaction between characters and i'd say all the scenes are stupidly unrealistic. this movie is just an excuse for someone's fetish for rapes stupid stupid moviethis movie sucked what are there using smart phones in 1993? huh duh and for a found footage movie the interaction between characters and i'd say all the scenes are stupidly unrealistic. this movie is just an excuse for someone's fetish for rapes stupid f-In moviethis movie sucked what are there using smart phones in 1993? huh duh and for a found footage movie the interaction between characters and i'd say all the scenes are stupidly unrealistic. this movie is just an excuse for someone's fetish for rapes stupid f-In movie
