Megan Is Missing (2011)

Caution !

[3/10 · 2 September 2011]

Wow is a good way to start to explain this film. It appears to be a real life recording of teenagers lives and they way the lead them. The whole film is set up through video recordings and web chat which makes the story more believable. The film is very dramatic and life like and I was confused at first weather the film was a documentary based film. For the first 45 minutes of the film I assumed the film was just about teenagers and partys and how there friendships work and just another film like 'thirteen' but I was most definitely wrong.

45 minutes into the film the drama really starts to kick in an definitely delivers the shock factor. When Megan goes missing ( as expected because of the obvious film title) the harsh images and brutal filming begings. I think the director definitely wanted to show the dangers of web chat and meeting people online, in my opinion he definitely did the job. Viewers must be cautioned for the 2 images that are shown and the last 22 minutes of footage. I wish I would have only read the review before watching this just so I could have had some warning to the disturbing images I saw. Disturbing film but shows reality worth a watch!

Hmmmm...

Was not impressed with this film , the majority of the acting was poor although Ashley Chin who plays 'Asad' in this film was very good and played a very convincing character and he should receive a great deal of credit for this film, as he was the only person in the film that didn't look like a 'first timer'.

The film had a slight impact on me and has a good story line for the majority of the film which did keep me on edge and eager to find out what is next, but then ends bluntly which made me feel like I'd wasted my time watching it as there's no summary to the story line and in my opinion is a complete fail. I will not be recommending this film to my friends but that does not mean to say that other people won't enjoy the film, but I stand firm on saying it's just not my cup of tea!
