the way the whole movie they talk about amy being a virgin, and then he rapes her and you see the blood...and the pictures of megan that he posted on the website and the barrel scene just shocked me. the way amy died was absolutely terrible...just i won't be able to sleep the same in a while. this really messed me up.
i've seen every horror movie out there, and i've never had one disturb me like this. 2 young girls like that...just everything about it is terrifying.
It's a good ending. Powerful stuff so it is. It drives home the reality of online chatting and the effects it could have if you are not careful. I felt sorry for Amy (and Megan too) they didn't deserve their fates. They were only young girls FFS. They deserved to grow old like most people do. Not both end up, one dead, and the other dying, stuck in the same barrel buried in the ground. I actually found myself wanting to jump in there and help Amy when I saw the finale of the movie. I don't normally get that sort of reaction while watching a movie. There are some real nasty bastards out there. And they are well capable of that sort of thing and a whole lot worse. That is something we shouldn't forget.
"What ever it is. It makes the dead get up and walk"
I think it would have upped her chances of survival if she wasn't shown yes. I'd put money on it that Amy would have a better chance of surviving if she wasn't shown on the camera or in interviews on tv when Megan disappeared. I don't think there would have been as much interest from the nutter Josh for Amy as he didn't know her and she wouldn't know him. It all started with the scene where Megan had Amy in the room when she was chatting to Josh.
My mouth was definitely on the floor for the last half hour of this movie. Seriously disturbing *beep* SPOILERS..... the two pictures of Megan, and then her in the barrel just took it way to far for me. Like you said, I have seen most horror movies, but this *beep* right here is the most terrifying thing I have ever seen.
I've seen a lot too and this is up there with the most disturbing. I can't believe I actually just wrote that, cos the movie was so laughable the entire time. Bad acting, directing, just everything. But just the IDEA of burying someone alive is what got to me. Just the final 22 minutes. The actual stuff that happened, it really disturbed me. There are a lot of heartless people in the world, and when you watch movies like this it makes you feel like they will find their heart and save their lives. But they never do. They're just heartless and soulless, and they don't think the same way people with compassion think. They hear screams but they mean nothing. That's why they both died like they did.
This is one of the most disturbing films I have ever seen, and I am a seasoned horror film fan also and not much film-wise scares me. But this one...the ending is burned in my brain. The sheer soulless-ness of Josh is horrifying. I know it was a fictional film, but there are people that wretched in this world...it makes one ashamed to be the same species as someone who would do such things.

I watch a lot of horror too, but this was just something totally chilling because this sort of thing does happen to girls and boys.
I wanted to call everyone I know with kids and tell them about. This could happen to anyone young or old, but it is so tragic and horrific when it is a child.
I heard people talk about how disturbing the barrel scene is, but they never said what happened in it. Part of me knew what was going to happen (and I was right) but it still freaked me out. I will say it is one of the more disturbing scenes I've seen in a movie in quite a while; and it's going to forever be one of those scenes that is going to be engrained in my mind for life.
I've seen and heard lots of insane things in movies, from both ends of the horror spectrum (the mainstream and the "underground extreme") and this just...man. Is it normal that I felt a little claustrophobic because of the ending?

The movie wasn't even that bad, well maybe for the faint of heart it is. pretty much they were young and stripped of their innocence and whatnot, but that's pretty much the point. it wasn't that bad. I thought "A Serbian Film" or "Salo" was worse
I just watched this earlier today for the first (and most likely ONLY) time, and oh my God. I am a season horror veteran. I and my friends had a blast having fun watching Human Centipede 2. So I can take extreme brutality shown on-screen with a grain of salt.
But this - this was something different. This was not just a completely fictional movie, this is not a horror movie. It's a reality gut check. It's a tale presented in such a way that it takes elements of real-world incidents and has all of them happen to these two girls. This is not something to enjoy. It's something to endure - but it's one hell of an eye-opener.
I almost never react to what I see on-screen. But when that first picture of Megan flashed on-screen, I gasped. I truly, for the first time in my life watching a movie, gasped because my heart skipped a beat. That was probably one of the most horrific images I have ever seen in my life. And I've accidentally stumbled onto Rotten.com once before. I've browsed 4chan.
This isn't "only a movie" - this stuff, in one form or another, HAS HAPPENED in real life, and WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. It is this fact, this underlying acknowledgement that was in the back of my mind while watching this film, that makes this film absolutely terrifying on a level I have never felt before.
I'm going to be thinking of that image for a long, long time unfortunately. It's really gotten to me.
its realistic and horrible but based off true events the real life people they based it off of were real victims of prey for similar situations and the extras sho some evidence of this
