Trailer!
The above trailer basically tells the complete storyline of the movie, but even if you know the overall plot, I'd still recommend this one.
The acting in the beginning was so bad it was humorous, but I quickly got past that, because it's just how old people think young girls actually act, while it's barely half-true, I can deal with it.
Basically, the movie shows these two best friends in the early teenage years experiencing relationships, parties, family issues, and other things that are introduced to us coming into adulthood. Eventually one of the girls meets a "cute guy" online and they talk for sometime before deciding to meet up. They do, and that's the day she goes missing.
The other friend knows that her friend, now missing, had had plans with the "cute guy" from online right before nobody had heard from her again, so she tells the police. After that, said "cute guy" gets in contact with the non-missing friend, bullying her and threatening her so she will stop drawing attention to her missing friend's situation.
Eventually, the second friend is abducted by this man, who we find out was never a "cute guy" but a sadistic internet predator, and the movie plays out in that both girls are brutally raped and murdered on one of the girls' video cameras.
If you go here and click "ENTER" and then "MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR" there's a written statement by the director of "Megan Is Missing" about his intentions on creating this film, which only took like eight days to make, surprisingly enough. It's basically a mash-up of several cases of child abduction by use of the internet all in one eye-opening movie. The end of the movie, like I previously stated, is pretty sick and graphic, especially when you know that no instance of the film was made up, it all came from real cases; it's hard to take.
