First of all, this is a movie that makes you think. I, myself, found myself dwelling on every time I met someone from the internet. After that, I found myself thinking how I will monitor computer of my child (and I don’t have a child yet XD).
"Megan is missing" is told from the point of view of Web cams, cell phones, surveillance footage, news reports and hand-held video clips to make this movie even more real. First of all, I’m not a fan of movies like Cloverfield and Blair Witch project, only because I get really pissed off by camera moves and end up moving my head in strange angles trying to see something. But this movie is something different.
Megan is a 14 year old, popular and good student. The dark side of the Megan`s life is that she was raped by her stepfather when she was 9, and her mother blames her for everything. She also drinks, does drugs and is very promiscuous. Behind everything, we see her wish to have someone to understand her and really “see” her. Her best friend, Amy, is her opposite. She is shy, introvert and unpopular. Megan meets this guy on the internet, called Josh, that quickly sees through her needs and they arrange meeting. Next day, Megan is missing. Frightened by Megan's absence, Amy calls the police trying to solve Megan`s missing. She ends up missing also, and after that, everything is pure horror.
I see many people think this movie is too much, and is very sick. After watching “Serbian movie” I can’t say that I share that opinion. Movie is indeed very sick, but it describes something that can happen to you, or your children. We should not live thinking there are no very sick people around us. Internet is something we can be very grateful for, but it also brings much danger. People like “Josh” in this movie are closer than ever to your children, or to you. If you don’t take care of your child, like Megan’s mother, you make your child wishing care and protection from outer world. There are many pedophiles that know this, and will take advantage of it. This movie is a warning. Take care of your children, inform them. Don’t let them beg for love and attention on the internet.
