All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

Megan Is Missing (2011)

Starring: Amber Perkins, Rachel Quinn
Director: Michael Goi

Premise:
Through webcam, video tape, news broadcast, and surveillance footage we watch the tale of two teenage girl who go missing.

My Take:
This movie provided me with a wide range of emotions and had me glued to my seat.
It starts out with these annoying teen kids, which feel very realistically portrayed by all the actors especially the two main characters. Then you get the layers behind the two kids which add depth to why they act the way they do. Then the abduction happens and we watch how the one girl handles her friend disappearance and how the media handles missing children cases. Then she gets abducted too and see the true horror to what happened.

This isn't the type of movie I want to watch again. But it is a terrifying story grounded in reality. If I had kids this would be required viewing for them, then we'd discuss it. Communication.

Rating: So Good
