The film directed by Michael Goi is perfect for the approaching spooky season, and given its past uncertain availability, it’s likely many will be seeing it for the first time. Few viewers are aware of what lies ahead.
On an estimated budget of around $35,000, the film “Megan Is Missing” delves into the enigma surrounding the disappearance of two 14-year-old girls who vanished under strange circumstances. Their lives were extensively recorded using handycams and webcams. The story begins when Megan vanishes after meeting a stranger online, and when Amy tries to find out where her friend has gone, she too disappears. The mystery remains unsettling due to the scarcity of leads, but then, the police stumble upon a video camera, and what they uncover in the footage is undeniably chilling.
In 2011, the movie “Megan Is Missing” became widely recognized due to its controversial content upon its release. The film isn’t necessarily violent or gory, but its unsettling subject matter and eerie themes about online danger make it particularly disturbing. Despite being presented as a mockumentary, the movie avoids any cheap tricks and delivers one of the best jump scares ever filmed. This shock is totally unexpected, even for those well-versed in found footage, and its timing is impeccable. In “Megan Is Missing”, this frightening moment perfectly sets the stage for the emotional turmoil you’ll experience during the final act.

Director Issues Warning for the Last 20 Minutes of Megan Is Missing
Megan Is Missing stands out from other horror films you’ve watched due to its unique style, be it called a found footage movie, a mockumentary, or a terrifying horror thriller. Initially, no studio was willing to distribute it for five years after filming. Despite the director ensuring the shooting process wasn’t distressing (the parents of the actors were always present), the impact of the film proved to be deeply unsettling. In 2020, when TikTok users stumbled upon the movie and made it trend, the director felt compelled to issue a warning on the platform about its content (watch the video here).
Hey there fellow movie enthusiast! Just wanted to share an exciting update: Amber Perkins, our lead actress in the movie we’re working on, has been creating quite a buzz on TikTok! However, I feel it’s important to remind you of some precautions before diving into our upcoming horror flick.
A fascinating aspect of the film “Megan Is Missing” is that its creator intended it to serve as a warning for parents, a sort of “wake-up call.” However, contrary to his intentions, the movie failed to elicit this response and was even banned in New Zealand. It remained unseen by many for years until Anchor Bay decided to distribute it. Although it may not turn out to be the wake-up call Goi intended, it could very well be one of those films that should be watched only once. After viewing Amy’s final moments, you might find yourself making adjustments in how you and your children use social media.
