Plot – Spoilers:
Teenagers Megan and Amy are best friends who look out for each other. Megan is popular and cooler but with a messed up history. She admires the ostensible stability that Amy represents. Amy in turn looks up to Megan and the fun experiences she seems to have, but is widely acknowledged in Megan’s world as her particularly cringey friend.
The little things that occupy their lives get more meaningful when Megan decides to hook up with someone she just met on the internet.
Megan Is Missing is presented in found-footage format. And while the makers didn’t seem to understand too much of the technologies they referenced, there is a lot to admire here.
Favorite Scenes:
The final scene of digging in silent grunts, oblivious to his victim’s new tactics for survival. There is something so eerily memorable about his focus to his task-at-hand that it felt massively dejavu when 2nd watching it after almost 8 years
what do you want me to do
best answer: die
answer:nothing
Is their other movie like this because I love this one
um i didnt know this was snuff i watched this when i was 11 years old
That ending was craaaaazy
I love this movie, i feel like teens should watch it so they learn about the dark web and internet safety. nobody really wants to talk about the dark web sooo..
i love the dark web
At the end of the rape, you see all the life go out of her eyes. It’s the only believable part of her acting.
As poor of the acting and out of touch is, the movie is still very disturbing with the rape, kidnapping, murder, live burial, and over sexualizing of teens. Just a real movie.
Boring af!
relatable tbh
lmao this comment sections so fucking funny
ifoundit soso,made mereignite my hate for how young wannabe players treat young woman and get validated by there pairs tht its nomal,cool even.no gore,no teen nudity but made up for it with the ending…you guys bitchn about itnot being believable etc,fuck thats wht made it so fkd up..thinking howmany in usa this happening to and will never be discovered ,im sure the stories you here about b theliteral tip of the iceberg …cold evil asf mofo tht guy,wht hurtsis these guys never recieve justice where thy cn experience the fear,dread and intense dispear they so carefreely force onto thr poor victims…to top it off i hate how much it turns me on ..like wtfs up with that lol
you say you hate the guy but you’re just like him dumbass
I do like found footage (FF) films, but so few are done well. The acting isn’t great in this film but it does enough to establish the closeness of the two friends (Megan & Amy). Its an above average FF film (imo) with the last 25 min definitely ‘lifting’ the film above what has occurred before hand. Indeed, the last 25 min are memorable (‘hits you in the gut’) and reminded me somewhat of a teenage version of the 1988 French film The Vanishing [just an observation Admin, not a request]. Could have been much more with better acting/plot development, but still an entertaining 3/5 teddy bears

I didn’t know that, thanks for letting me know Admin much appreciated. Only saw the film once and over 20 years ago so time for a revisit I think…
Check out Lake Mungo (2008) and Found Footage (2011), both Australian-produced FFs if you haven’t already, cheers.
Damn , in the barrel with her rotting friend .
I deserve ‘kys’ comments for this, but lmfao
this movie turns me on
i hope you get raped
I love this movie. I watched it on Netflix when it first came out. Having been raped I think this film did the best they could to make people feel uncomfortable during and it should make you feel that way! Rape is uncomfortable! This shit happens in real life. As a victim I think it’s important for people to see just how disturbing these topics can be, but in my opinion they nailed this for the movie. The ending was just an added bonus of realism. Kudos to this director for having the balls to put this movie out.
its like those gore posts where they had a very well depiction of the victims life. great movie
the ending made me feel something. congrats
Meghan’s mom is played by the voice actress who voices south park’s Sharon and Wendy.
No shit?
Loved it , yes cheap acting but the rape scene made it worth it
Megan and Amys spirits will follow this deranged creep til the kingdom come.
bruh,his digging game’s weak,overall boring with lots of bad acting
This movie sucks so hard. It wouldn’t be so shitty if it was honest with itself and was just gross exploitation, but it thinks it’s important.
saw this film a while ago as it was going viral. horrible acting (can’t blame the actors, the script is unusable), cheap shock value shots that come off less scary than it does insulting, unrealistic and overly perverse dialogue, inconsistent plot, all somewhat forgivable if it didn’t try to pass itself off as some holier-than-thou cautionary tale on the bogeyman hiding in your child’s computer coming to carry them away to their sex dungeons. no idea where this belief came about that as long as a piece of media claims to have a “message” that it becomes exempt from all criticism but even as a PSA alone it fails to send across a coherent message. was it megan’s fault for what happened? amy’s? the parents’? the web’s? society’s? what new information were we supposed to learn from this? being a very young kid in 2011 i feel like it was already rammed into our minds more than enough not to meet up with complete strangers from the internet. this is supposedly meant to be loosely based on a true story (so much for respecting the dead), but are we really supposed to believe that this was enough of an issue to require a feature length film? if anything all it does is trick parents into fearing the imaginary cabal of pedophiles coming to snatch up their kids in the night so if actual sex traffickers do try to groom their children they’ll be left none the wiser. Even unwatchable as… Read more »
Yeah, I agree. It doesn’t achieve anything that it’s trying to, as far as I’m concerned. I could give better advice to kids in a five minute essay, based on my experience of dating girls I met online, than anything in this movie. And they wouldn’t even have to suffer through this reductionist, pseudo-intellectual nonsense to read my version.
FWIW, I felt much the same way about the film Hard Candy. I thought it was very much like a Fisher Price “My First Rape-and-Revenge Movie” but without the actual rape. That one kinda just made me feel irritated and uncomfortable, because the punishment was for pre-crime and was disproportionate to anything the victim had *actually* done. Besides, as much as they tried to make Ellen Page look like a little girl, she, in fact, looked at least 16, which falls into that tricky grey area where (a) tons of them *look* legal even if they’re not and (b) they *are* legal in most of the world (even if you only restrict it to the civilised regions; it’d be legal here in the UK, for example).
Interesting thought, should @Admin now tag Hard Candy with ‘Gay’ as Page is now toilet seat up not toilet seat down and stated she recognized as toilet seat up from an early age (i.e., during filming of ‘Hard Candy’) and so the film is really about same sex ….
….. its moral dilemmas such as this that keep me awake at night and also wondering what Zed Man identifies as :-p
The only good scene in this is the barrel reveal, mostly because it genuinely traumatized me back when I first watched this at 13, and still creeps me the fuck out to this day. The rest is dog shit though
The scene with Photo #1 and #2 is creepy as hell tho. The lack of audio makes it feel like you’re sifting through a folder of photos that you aren’t supposed to be seeing
One of my fave movies to masturbate to, especially the basement rape scene
Congrats! You’re a nonce
Fuck off its hot how she cries and says “no” but eventually just accepts it
I just sprayed beer across the room. Ha!
I should send you to the mex cartels and let them make part 2 with you in a new video 1 pitbull and 1 man castration! it’ll change the way you think real fast Cabron!
You’re fucking disgusting. Kys
Amazing. They did it right. No pussing out at the end. Very realistic.
I heard New Zealand banned this movie and I also saw a few pussy ass sjw’s on twitter and tik tok say they were traumatized after watching it and although it is a work of fiction, I feel that people need to see this because this type of shit happens every day. Turning a blind eye doesn’t make the topic of human trafficking disappear, we need to bring awareness to it, how else can we fight this if people are chickenshit to see what happens to these people? What if it was your daughter that was kidnapped by some scumbag or pedo ring?? Human trafficking has gotten so bad that is has become a commodity worth more than gold and even cocaine and is a multi-billion dollar a year industry. Honestly, the people involved deserve to be dragged outside the city limits and shot in the back of their heads and left in a shallow grave like the dogs that they are. If anything pisses me of more than anything, it’s a grown ass man hurting a child for his own gratification, and then keeping them in cages, shipping containers, or in underground facilities to be used over and over again until they are dead.
NOT ENOUGH TITTIES N ASS! I was ROBBED
blatantly robbed, i have to agree.
Mehhhh….. if you just wanna watch 14yr olds chatting on a webcam, go ahead and waste your time
THE MOST BORING SHITTY MOVIE THAT I’VE EVER SEEN!!!
my asshole is stretched <3
Pls no more barrel. I hate barrel now. I live on farm i need to be near barrel. This made me not like barrel anymore. Tahnks
It’s a pretty good movie for the most part (I like how they make Megan more of a person than a martyrr unlike a lot of these kinds of stories) but man the ending is a bit underwhelming.
the two pics was the icing on the fuck no cake
wtf is this shit
This is just so sad. In the ending, they were talking about what their future would be. Little did they know, they’ll die days/months later.
This should be compulsory viewing for teenagers so they can see what can happen when not careful on the net, especially this movie being based on fact. The last 20 mins or so sent shivers down my spine and I must say that eventhough I am an extreme horror fan, this disturbed in a way I cant really explain, except for the fact that this sort of shit probably happens every day. A very thought provoking movie imo that will stay with me for a while. Cheers all! BTW, I wonder how many pedos have watched this film while taking breaks on the Dark Web producing things that no one wants to talk about. Sick Fucks!!!!
Valid. When I have kids I’m probably going to show them this when they start using unmonitored Internet. This is horrible. Good movie, but horrible to think it can happen:/
i found myself thinking about this one for a couple days after i watched it, but i don‘t think it was in the way the movie intended. it’s decent at building tension in the middle third, but the first twenty-thirty minutes i found super cringey to get through. Megan is Missing doesn’t do a great job of portraying weird kids, or ‘popular kids’, to be honest. it relies very heavily on us finding amy to be this grubby, obviously unpopular girl, but the only clear indicators of her being awkward pre-party is her Dedication to megan and weirdly hyper-positive relationship with her parents. during the party scene, i realized i was never going to ROOT for amy. she was annoying, and even though she was dragged there, she couldn’t get out of her own way!!! like, i’ve been there, but go find a quiet room dude!!!! like DAMN. i was rooting for megan, tbh, even though i knew from the jump she was gonna die. i got a soft heart for the doomed kids with bad parents! special shoutout to the heavy-handed nature of the narrative as well as the cheesy as fuck dialogue. it did brighten up this sludge with some laughs. the party dudes looking like co-op employees who escaped the weed shed have a special place in my heart, the fucking creeps. from a fucked-up perspective, pretty lame! the one shock-value take and the outstretched bleak ending kinda had me eyeing the ‘time remaining’ piece of my… Read more »
A very cheesy movie, but it did his job.
A girl with ultra low self esteem that wants to “fit in” having a broken mentally ill whore as her friend… Only bad things comes from that. And you know what? Is what normally fucking happens always.
The internet is a dangerous place if you only use it to “socialize” , not such things as “cool” people on it. Most of those in social platforms are dangerous freaks psychos that are just waiting for some dumb girl wanting to “socialize”.
The more vulnerable ones? The mentally ill girls and the ones with low self esteem, that wants to “fit” somewhere and wants attention from the “cool” creepy guys lmao pathetic. And only shows that only smart people should be the ones using the internet.
People like that gets what they fucking deserve for being ignorant to the reality and follow “emotions” instead of logic.
no snuff. dissappointed. but nice 2007 LA Cali vibes
Overall the movie delivers a very powerful message without much gore. Some of the new reporting is corny and takes away from the realism. The character that played Megan however was well cast. Pretty f-Ed up and haunting overall.
So, this is my first post on any of the movies here. I agree with a lot of the criticism—wooden acting, some weird anachronisms regarding the tech of the time and really dodgy decisions on the part of Amy and Megan—but the film is watchable. I got some laughs regarding the ‘Nancy Grace’-ish newscaster character. It’s not as bad as most found-footage offerings.
“Snuff” stuff are always entertaining to watch. This movie reminds you to never trust anyone you meet online. Thanks EUM for uploading this film. This is a great find for this website.
Not all teenagers are dumb some are very smart thank you very much
This is what happens when someone who doesn’t understand the internet, teenagers or found footage movies decides to make a found footage movie about teenagers on the internet.
Agreed, I’ve spent like half of the movie on ‘ur crazyyyy’ plus the acting of distressed parents hrut a lot
And this is perfect example movie why I try to stay out of chatrooms because of sick creeps because their usually all same and ask same nasty questions. At least with me they do . But I must say I have met very interesting people online. Not all I would invite to hang out with but interesting indeed. The movie is good I feel because it shows just some of what can and does really happen in real life. I seen a movie called * strangeland* I was much younger and it did freak me out a little but made me so more curious about online an people on it . Strangeland was a good movie. Very wild. Also I know this movie isn’t probably on here and might not ever be but one my favorite movies ever will always be * the crow* not the remake shit but the real original with Brandon Lee. That movie is awesome and shouldn’t be touched
If you like found footage try “The Poughkeepsie Tapes”, if you haven’t already.
I think this movie underscores the dangers of the online and how oblivious the young (and not-so-young) are to it: it can’t happen to me. Well it does.
Thanks for the recommendation:) Yes, I viewed the Poughkeepsie Tapes when it came out actually, and found it to be a bit better than the average FF offering. A few ones that come to mind I thought were great for what they were would be Afflicted and Creep 1&2 (moreso the first), however, one I always like to rewatch (a rarity for me w most films) would be Trollhunter. I would consider it to be one of my personal fav, and easily one of the best FF films, albeit not so much ‘horror’. The one I brought up in my lil review that I had just viewed, Reel(2015), wasn’t garbage, but again it was the stereotypical save-everything-for-the-last-20min style FF. Prbly give it a 4 or 5/10 imo, but awesome gore n effedup-ness tho, kinda a snuff style film in a loose sense. If u search for the DVD or for the director (slashervictim666, lol, has a fukn cool online persona/marketing where he basically pretends he’s the killer) u should easily find his site, which has the film streaming for free thru Vimeo (is also on there too). Not great but it is kinda underground, so worth a watch for that alone I guess, if ur bored. Regarding Megan is Missing, I agree that it had a somewhat moral of online dangers/kidnapping, and altho this moral was heavily implied (vs direct, for ex at the end they coulda blatantly said ‘X# of child abductions every year, monitor ur kids websites they… Read more »
Greetings Zed Man, Regarding the reviews, let’s just say I try to be the antithesis of the ‘Cool movie, pretty effed up 4/5’ style reviewer, the why to the what so to speak. I’ve studied film on the academic level as well, but am not a ‘professional’ by any means. I’m kinda dead when it comes to overall emotions as well, so I feel, imo, sometimes I can pick up on the nuances of film on a deeper level, vs just was it scary, suspenseful, entertaining, etc, since most isn’t to me, at least not that much, comparatively. Also studying the history, styles, ‘great directors’ n their biographies to see what made them tick, etc, in film classes shed light on what can make a film truly great. It can be much like a painting, art as told thru the lens if u will. Sadly it’s becoming less frequent with many new ‘big’ films, of all generas. Gotta love a lot of the Indies for that reason, not being screwed over by producers/ studios/forced p.c views, etc. Am unbiased w all generas of film too. Honestly tho not much truly entertains me in the end w most things, not just film, call it just filling the gaps of time:/ So I guess in a way it’s just another way for me to fill the gaps. Plus I do kinda like to chat about movies w ppl:) Regarding mdpope, yikes, lol, ya I saw it years ago thru a download, but… Read more »
But you can find it on the clear web too.. If you are suscribed to the right gore sites.
Anyway i wonder what kind of shit there’s on the dark web, if you can find shit like that just on the clear web.. I have never gone into the dark web until now because i don’t want to deal with problems like hackers, trojans, etc.. I think i will do that when i will be sure to not leave traces. I hate pedo or zoophilic sick stuff but i would be really curious about real necrophiliac videos, or maybe also serial killers’ crimes or cannibalism, real shit like that which probably you are never gonna find on the clear web.
Thanks for the new title, admins, always appreciated! Decent movie I suppose. The latter half being somewhat suspenseful. Some cringeworthy acting tho, esp the laughable ‘recreation’ of the kidnapping, Amy’s parents saying with zer∅ emotions they want their daughter back, the cops in general (love how the one says we got something in this trash barrel, then the other literally leans on the edge of it, smh) etc. I suppose the kids acting wasn’t totally horrible, wasn’t great tho by any means, and didn’t create much emotion, imo. Seems like a lot of cellular video-calls and hd video for it being set in 2007 btw;) One quick thought too, wtf was up with that Gideon(I think that was his name, the dealer) character?!? He looked in his 40s but that didn’t bother anybody. I don’t think drugs would’ve had that kinda pull (yet) w kids so young to make em want to get sleazy w him for some. I was kinda thinking ‘Josh’ would end up being him but their builds were different. I really do like the Found Footage genre, and go out of my way to view different ones due to that reason alone. I fully realize tho most end up being garbage, which I can deal with, but what grinds my gears is how sssooo many have almost nothing happen until the last 20 minutes (Blair Witch style), this one included. Hell, I just watched another FF the other day that I had read/ heard absolutely rave… Read more »
ur lame
* takes bite of banana * ok next movie lol
Yup… or what it is, this is an excellent movie. Very well done, and at an affordable price.
Ahah you are very dumb fagg you love this movie because you hate women mr. Embarrassingtraut you cannot even go up to a woman and ask her for a date without a woman kick you the balls or calling you a fucking creep because you suck at to talk to womens you loser because you are stupid ugly stinky cock sucking pathetic faget and you cannot even buy love to your mother because she also thinks you are a loser creep and she don’t even want to be around with you because you suck to show love to your mother because you are a faget and also a dork and this is why your mother don’t love you anymore she wish you were dead and i to you mom the other day she wish that you were not even born and she also wish could kill you because you are a mentally ill dumb lowlife faget she had more fun getting fuck by a hobo and then be around with you cunt face. and it is pretty fucking funny if you’re asked me but it is more funny watching lvana trump fall down the stairs to her death like a small child falling off a ladder and breaking her head against the concrete floot lol i do not know why is everyone so sad of her passing away everyone should laugh at her death because her death was clash comedy i should send lvana trump falling down the stairs video… Read more »

HuRr DuRr Im InSuLtEd
Seriously tho, this is prbly the wrong site to b on if ur so easily offended like that. Just a thought;)
go be a wom*n somewhere else
Ayy saw this one on YMS
lmao what a simp
Thank you ?
Damn, that was unexpected. Very well put together. Ive watched a shit load of effed up movies here but this one really got to me. No doubt the end will haunt me for a bit. Nice addition to the site. Cheers!
ur gay
You have the nerve to fucking insult someone for no reason and call yourself ‘ coochie destroyer ‘ shouldn’t that read ‘ Angry Virgin’ ?
u good…? u watched this at 3 am
What does this have to do with the movie ??
Wow ..you actually care insult someone for sharing THEIR own opinion and call yourself ‘ coochie destroyer’.. Only vagina you ever elder is the one hour poor mother destroyed pushing an offensive fool like you out !
Damn.. are you still haunted by this cornball? Michael Goi said he wants you on his 3 dollar marketing team.
Well put together? I don’t know about you, but this movie drives on realism. And I was put off with the acting, it completely took me out of the movie, as well as some of the story – why would josh throw his camera that he used to film all his fucked up shit with, as well as the location of amy and megan, into a trash can right next to the crime scene? Like seriously? And other things, like how could these girls be 14? 14 year olds really giving blowjobs and snorting coke? And this was in 2011. I don’t know man, some of the scenes at the end are decent, but It didn’t do it for me because I wasn’t in the film. I was looking at everything as if it wasn’t real. This could have been a decent film, but it just wasn’t it for me.
I completely agree with this
