The ending is the most disturbing ending I've ever seen in any movie

I have to agree, I watch a lot of horrors and after watching it last night I just sat there for god knows how long. Just hearing Amy plead for her life and he just kept digging. It is scary that there is really no remorse for people like that and that scares me. Just seeing the hell these poor girls went through on their final hrs on earth was like. From Megan's photo god knows what else he did to that poor girl. I can't imagine what would of gone through poor Amy's head knowing that your were trapped in that barrel with your dead best friend trapped and all alone. It bothers me that someone truly might had really had that ordeal given to them considering some of the incidents are based on real cases. I think it was the most real torture scene I have every scene and I never want to see anything like that again. I just felt sick.

I thought that the movie for the first 3 quarters was quite lame. By lame I mean bad acting, bad dialogue and just bad all round. I think when they showed the video of the stranger behind Amy under the bridge I started to change my mind a bit. I think from then on the movie got stronger. When the fetish image popped up, I think that was one of the biggest frights I have experienced. That has scarred me and will be in my head for a long time.

After that, I was pretty much shaking. When the hand appeared in front of the camera and it paused, I panicked. Then that last 22 minutes of 'Josh's' film was maybe ONE of the most painful pieces of media I've seen. I can't describe my shock and fear. The bit where he opens the barrell and we see her best friend I almost couldn't take it any more. Then the rest of the film I was frozen, reflecting on how this and so much worse happens quite frequently. Such an eye opener. The first 3 quarters felt like it had a poorly excecuted message and was just very sloppy. I have to say the last quarter almost made up for that...I won't be going to sleep for a while...

I think that night after watching the movie I put 'Arrested Development' on. Still didn't numb the pain...

I trust you have seen Snowtown, Salo, Murder Set Pieces and A Serbian Film - if not you'll realise the ending is fairly tame - aside from 3 moments the film was lame - the time when Amy is recording under the bridge and we see "Josh" behind her, The Megan fetish pic and Megan in the barrel

really shes alive thank god

'Based on true events' is something written on the promotional poster of pretty much every horror these days. It doesn't mean anything, it's a marketing tool.


R.I.P Quinneh and Toni. True Northern Heroes

you should watch:

- Salò, or 120 Days of Sodom
- Irréversible
- A Serbian Film
- Antichrist

etc...

that would be perfect for you... but seriously Megan Is Missing is not really disturbing...

I think the reason it's so disturbing is the fact that it comes out of nohwere. The first hour of this movie is a pretty run-of-the-mill story about two teenage girls, just being friends, chasing boys, dealing with bullies, etc. Then the last 22 minutes hits you like a *beep* freight train.

It's one of the most effective horror sequences I've ever seen... No soundtrack, no cutaways, filmed on a grainy handheld camera, in this grimy dungeon. There is absolutely no hope of a happy ending. Not a single punch is pulled. We see this innocent girl just get brutalized by this sick twisted psycho for 22 straight minutes. Finally she's buried alive in a barrel with the body of her dead best friend inside, and the movie just *beep* ends right there. Holy *beep*.

I'm actually surprised at how low/unpopular this movie is on here. I think a bunch of people never made it through the first half hour (and yeah it's B-movie quality at the beginning) -- but man, did you guys miss out on a hell of an ending.
