Megan Is Missing

This movie was nothing at all what I had expected or hoped it would be. The first three-fourths of the movie is basically just teenage girls goofing around, trash talking and being teens. However, I will say that the last quarter turned out to take a more interesting twist, however, it hardly made up for suffering through the first three quarters.

You should take heed that there is a lot of explicit sexual dialogue in the movie, which I sort of found inappropriate and too much, especially coming from girls who were only 14 years old.

The story is about a teenage girl who meets a stranger on the Internet, and then ends up missing. The whole community is in an uproar, searching everywhere for the missing teen. Then her best friend goes missing as well, and no one knows who is behind the ghastly abductions.

Acting-wise, then "Megan is Missing" doesn't really hold anything overly impressive. The performances put on here are adequate, but not memorable. And I was mostly just offended and outraged at the way the teenagers behaved and talked, more than I had feelings or sympathy for them. So on my account, the movie failed to properly deliver its messages. And it was only the more gruesome events in the last quarter of the movie that managed to fully turn out to be interesting in my opinion.

"Megan is Missing" is the type of movie that you watch once, and then never again. For a movie that is based on real events, then it turned out to be a rather one-dimensional and non-emotional portrayal of the events.

Whenever i read the reviews of this movie, everybody is saying its disturbing, or it would burn you for life. What makes this movie so scary is that its very realistic. Almost every 14 year old girl in America video chats, and even though this case is very rare, it happens.i would say yes... if you are a sensitive then i suggest you not watch this. the suspense and the creepiness are very high in this movie are very very high. but i think the 1 thing i didn't like about this movie was the acting. it was one of the worst I've honestly ever seen.... all except Rachel Quinn (who plays Megan) it was also a little confusing because the movie is missing big chunks of information but i guess thats understandable giving its all recorded on a camera or a laptop. but over all its a super sad and creepy movie

I wasted $3.99 renting this movie because of the reactions of Gen Z on tiktok. This is by far the worst movie I have ever seen.

Disturbing can mean a number of things. Imagery can be disturbing, subject matter can be disturbing, violence and viscera can be disturbing. The movies I have been most troubled by are the ones you can easily see happening in real life.

This is that.

Most of the film is a slow set up for the last 20 minutes or so. I've seen reviews saying this movie isn't entertaining but frankly anyone looking to be entertained by a movie about the kidnapping of a 14 year old girl is a bit of a wrong-un. It is fair to say that being a found footage, there are periods of not much happening. These periods are punctuated by some pretty heavy gut punches relating to sexual abuse.

The final act goes hard and there is some deeply disturbing and incredibly dark imagery which makes for some incredibly uncomfortable viewing.

Most people will likely baulk at the themes portrayed and wonder why anyone would want to make a movie like this. It's a fair question.

Obviously DesertTrash (previous reviewer) is an idiot by all definitions. This isn't a "snuff" film nor is it meant to be. The creators of this movie, which were based on actual events by the way, were trying to educate viewers of todays predators and the ease of doing so using modern technology that many of the younger generation consider to be tame and innocuous. I agree that this is a tough film to watch especially if you have children that at teenagers or younger but it is also a call to arms for parents and responsible caring adults to take notice of their children's activities and know who their friends are and above all, to be involved in their children's lives. I wouldn't classify this movie as entertainment by any means nor did I find it enjoyable or a "feel good movie" to cuddle up with a loved one on a Saturday night but I would highly recommend it to any parent today. It's one of the scariest films I've seen in a long long time.
