Everyone on TikTok is saying how this movie is Traumatizing them but the acting is so bad I don’t understand how people actually think this movie is a good movie.
When i saw those pictures of megan getting tortured while watching the movie with my friends, i thought it was real, pretty fucking traumatizing to us but you know people have different fears and i am not defending the movie because it is actually a piece of shit
the people on tik tok are completely missing the point. there saying “men are horrible! they do this all the time!”. they dont even take the point the whole movie is trying to send. people are just taking and making excuses to hate on men more then ever now.
Someone I just go to abandoned houses... I always expect someone to appear, kill me and rape my body. It never happens though, i'am always alone there.
"OMG was that footage real?" Yeah your local theatre is cool with showing recordings of actual rape and murder all the time. What did you think Whacky Wednesdays were for?
@@thebondofunity okay it makes more sense to me the acting butchers the line than the line itself being bad, but still op insinuates that the line is inherently bad which i don't know why. I've heard people say stuff like that in real life that's pretty close to the line itself.
I love movies written by 40 year old men about teenage girls. A lot of it just feels like their writing what they wish teenage girls were like when they were young.
I suppose I'm the odd one out. As my skin was mostly smooth throughout high school. Yeah, I had a pimple every now and then, but smooth, flawless skin had always been my bread and butter. (Never suffered through acne either.)
@@BowdowntoAnnaConda I watched this movie and it was very disturbing especially the last 20 minutes, but I can’t believe people actually thought it was real like yeah the FBI is definitely going to have this be able to be a movie and still be available 9 years after it’s released
I wonder how the creative process went down. Maybe he watched some soap operas and reality shows, then add rape into the mix and went "I get teens, I can pull this off!"
"Teenagers weren't like this in the old days" Yep. Because before the internet there were no teenagers acting up, talking to strangers, partying, doing drugs and drinking, etc. Seems legit.
Admiral Swallower yah in the 50s go back to the late 40s and 1950 though. It's fucking hand holding and OH FUCK MY DAD DIED IN THE WAR 5 YEARS AGO WILL I BE NEXT!!! The early 50s was when we got the ball rolling
So did Michael ever, like, notify the girl's parents or report it to the authorities when he heard her describe being raped at a summer camp for kids? Were the parents & victim okay w/ him putting her story of the assault apparently "word for word" in his movie? Seems a little insensitive. And the 13 & 14 year old girls had no qualms about openly discussing this is front of a 40 year old guy who's friends w/ their parents? This story just doesn't add up
Caroline Cardwell and why would his friend’s kid tell him about this kind of thing? He’s not a therapist and most kids aren’t close enough to their parent’s friends to tell them stories of traumatic experiences
Maybe he was doing research and in the process that story ended up being told to him. But I’d buy it more if it came from parents rather than the kids it supposedly happened to.
My mom told me she used to be a crazy ass teen and was shocked to find out I hadn't even touched alcohol until I turned 21. Her crazy teen days are what lead to my conception! Lol
@@KanaHyoshi Generations before go absolutely batshit then do their best to make sure future generations don't do what they did. Then get all shocked when they raise drones.

Apparently this movie actually was based on a real murder case. Two girls (named Miranda and Ashley, don't know why they didn't keep the names the same if it's based on this but whatever) who were friends that lived next to each other in an apartment building. One day, one of the girls disappeared. The other disappeared only a few months later, except, before she went missing, she had expressed her ideas of a possible suspect who lived in their building. She went to confront him about it, and then wasn't heard from again. I don't really remember the details of how they found them, but their bodies were found buried in the ground stuffed into a barrel. This movie sucks.
ETgohome13 a movie of this would be so chilling and scary - imagine only really cantering it around the apartment complex, especially at the end and how claustrophobic that would be when the paranoia kicks in when the girl realises she lives in there with the killer and only she knows...
What the fuck... that makes it so much worse. Making profit off such complete disrespectful garbage based off two girls and their families actually going through something that.
ETgohome13 Besides all that, it's two teenage girls that go missing!! How can you NOT see it's the same story?! It's %100 based on that!! Seriously, though. It is in VERY poor taste to keep their real names. . . .
@@PuffyKumaTenshi It's even worse when Michael Goi used this case to show off the belief that younger generations = stupid when the original murder case has absolute nothing to do with it.
Ok who tf hides their stuffed animal under a bridge? Like, if your mom told you to throw it away and you wanted to keep it, why couldn’t you just hide it under your bed or in your closet or something?
Just to mess with people, if I become a film maker, I'm going to make a documentary about the Watergate scandal, then put "This film was not inspired by real events" in the opening credits.
Alexander Chippel A Holocaust documentary that says: _"The story, all names, characters, and incidents portrayed in this production are fictitious. Any resemblance to reality is pure coincidence"_
That is kind of scary. That and they probably never found her body or the guy who killed her. I mean you can't really identify the woods there was no road or anything in the footage, She could be anywhere in the Continental United States!
I know i was talking about in the setting of the film. Since the Killer is never really physically seen besides an arm. Police or Federals likely never located Megans Killer or where her body was buried. That would be soulcrushing for her parents.
came back because i was so baffled they were talking about the movie as if it was actually good or made any impact- and then saw it was exactly what they were talking about.
@@tecitodejazmin take a look at danny gonzalez's and drew gooden's videos about the content on tiktok. A lot of it is just the most utterly braindead crap u'll ever find online Thats the tiktok crowd's baseline for what is acceptably entertaining. Them thinking this crap is any good is no surprise
Yeah, the one girl did have a razr. Also, iPhones weren’t released until June of 2007, and this took place in January. Xp it was just overall really bad. Lol
because a lot of people were disturbed by the rape scene mostly, which is very understandable and some people are either sensitive to scary things or pretty young and impressionable
This movie makes me so mad because the acting its so bad but the images were actually kinda terrifying. Just think how could it had been with better acting and good dialogue tbh
I remember watching this years ago and being completely shaken up by those two images. I've watched a lot of Adam's videos multiple times but I never came back to this video because I didn't want to see them again. Today I thought i'd watch it again. Maybe my imagination had taken it out of proportion. But nah, they're both still absolutely horrifying. It doesn't affect me nearly as much as it did back then, but they're really fucking well made. Still, I don't think two incredibly well made and incredibly disturbing images mean that this film could have been good, because every single detail of this film is super flawed, and there was no reason to show those two images in the first place. It was just shock value. It didn't add to anything
Are you kidding? I don't know how sheltered you guys are but those images.....are literally just fetish porn. Like.....those "torture instruments" are commonly used in weird fetish rape porn. It's transparent Michael Goi just wanted to film fetish shit.
"look at this movie about scary people on the internet! look at this drawn out rape scene and torture scenes! are you disturbed? well? are you?" i hate this type of writing, it makes me legit mad lmao
Ok, I get you people are offended by anything nowadays, but you’re really misinterpreting what the creators mean. In what way is presenting something as bad somehow glorifying that bad thing? It isn’t, they are obviously aware. This isn’t like Cuties where they actually filmed what they are warning about. They’re simulations, a fugazi, it’s not fucking real. The only ones being offended are people like you. Why? Why are you offended? Does hiding away from the real world comfort you? The fact that it disturbs you is comforting because it shows you still have your humanity to know that it’s wrong. Why is “Shock” wrong. Some thing are truly shocking and they should be. Horror movies were not intended to comfort you. Why are you angry at people presenting the shocking acts when you should be mad at the the shocking acts itself. Idk something just tells me that most of you are politically far left and non traditional and or SJW, LGBT, and other victim complexes. You just like to feel bad or something. But that’s me just guessing.
@@kylevernon I don't think they're complaining about the movie glorifying horrible things or showing horrible things. Rather, they are complaining about movies that substitute good writing or clever presentation for shock value. Whether you think it applies to this movie or not is up to you, but they were not censoring this movies or saying that it should be banned.
My mom told me that I had to throw out my old Transformers toys 'cause they're missing pieces. Jokes on her since I hid them in a box deep in the woods! I sure hope nothing bad happens to me when I go to visit them....
No, it's more like "my action figures are out of the box, so my mom told me to throw them out. Joke's on her, I put them in a warehouse in the abandoned docks"
Insert Name Fuck you bitch, the new Matt Damon movie is a classic that will be remembered for years to come. You're probably just a fan boy of that new Mark Wahlberg movie, right?
apparently people on tiktok heard about this movie and are passing it around, convincing middle schoolers that the torture porn in the last 20 minutes is REAL... which is wildly irresponsible but also mind boggling and hysterical anyways it's weird for me because i watched this video when you first released it 7 years ago so. you might be getting a weird surge of views on this one, Adam
to be fair he certainly sets it up to seem as if the two pictures of megan and the last 22 minutes of the film are real. my friends and i turned it off because just the pictures made us uncomfortable and when the torture porn started it was too much.
It’s legitimately disturbing to me how this younger generation, who is growing up terminally online, is worse than any other generation at determining real or fake shit online. I can’t stand it. I see videos/movies from when we were young being noticed again that we already knew were fake, yet these kids actually have no idea and will even argue with you when you tell them it’s not real. I’m only 25 and I feel like a boomer when looking at how dumb some of these teenagers and kids are nowadays.
@@dylan351321 Yes, they are genuinely worse at it now. We grew up before smartphones, ease of access. Kids who can work smartphones can't efficiently work or understand how a traditional PC works. The internet is very different now. There was a certain suspension of disbelief and honestly crappiness of a wilder, younger internet that we grew up with. They had these convenient devices at as low as 2 in some cases, and they can't tell the difference between real and fake because it's all they know... And modern fakeness can look very real. I mean, look at deep fakes. We are very clearly heading toward a post-truth dystopia where people are allowed to choose what is real or fake based on opinions. I'm not trying to be alarmist but as this technology improves, again, especially deep fakes, we are heading toward a world where objective reality itself is dead. TLDR: They're dumb and we are royally screwed.
Lordi you can make a scene very effective if you imply just enough to give the audience the idea of what’s happening, the contrast to this is the rape scene in I spit on your grave, but that scene is meant to be horrifying and it is
As a teenager whos kinda in with the druggies I will tell you for sure that teenagers arent like this. This isn't an accurate depiction of teenagers, this is what 40 year old think teenagers are like.
True. This is what 13 year olds wanted to be. So edgy. I was so nervous going to my first (and last) party because I thought the sex and drugs would just be too much to handle! The night ended with all of sitting in a circle playing spin the bottle and giggling at cooties when we dared each other to kiss each other. The drugs ended up being hot dogs, soda and chips. Honestly, it was great and I wish parties and get together were still like that. No booze, no separating into cliques and having to nod at conversations you can’t relate to. Just innocent fun. So edgy!!
People in my film studies class, today, were talking about this film and how it’s some “groundbreaking, obscure masterpiece” because apparently it’s gone viral on TikTok or something, and the entire time I was just thinking back to this review. The fact that there’s people (people who I like and who have film opinions I respect and often agree with) who unironically like this movie is astonishing to me
@@justfuckingwhy It’s weird, because they’re not stupid or anything. Most people in there usually have well articulated, logical and interesting thoughts on films. Just the other week these same people were talking about the implications of another YMS related film, Synecdoche New York! But this is the first time they’ve praised a film that isn’t even remotely worthy of praise. Even when they’re praising films I don’t particularly like there’s clear reasons as to why they love it. But somehow some (not all) seem to love Megan is Missing
@@user-zz7rs6lf7w You have to go through an application process to get in, and if you’re not doing particularly well there is chance you will be encouraged to leave.
the quality of those megan torture pictures scared me because of the effort, budget and everything else a movie needs in contrast to the rest of the movie
I've seen people defend this film on the grounds that it's based on real events as a way to negate criticism. 1) "Based on" are the key words. This isn't a documentary, it's a film that borrows elements from the case(s) in question. 2) It's still a garbage film 3) If this film is truly based on actually events, don't the victims deserve to have their stories (even with the possible creative liberties taken) told in a better way than this poorly acted schlock? Long story short, "this is based on actual events, you jerkface." isn't a good defense. Hell in some circumstances, it can actually be a indirect form of insult towards the work in question.
Based on real events - kids use phone cameras, chat with eachother, party and, at some other place, rape happens lol. Saying it was based on a real criminal event would be something different. Based on real events could be a person taking a shit in the movie. So when people defend movies, because they are based on "real events", it's laughable.
You guys remember when way back in 1999 everybody thought that the Blair witch was real and that it was the scariest shit ever and now here we are in 2020 and TikTokers think that Megan is missing is real some things never change huh
The only difference in 99 being 1. It actually had convincing acting 2. The script felt realistic 3. The camera work actually felt authentically 4. The internet wasn't as widely available so people couldn't just look it up INSTANTANEOUSLY 5. And even on the internet the actors names actually read as missing on IMDB for a while as a hoax, so even if you did do your research you could have been fooled. 6. Pretty much everyone knew it was fake nine years later. In conclusion, people are dumber now.
If this is supposed to be for parents, why not just have parents actually do some research online and actually care while raising their kids to not be idiotic online. You actually can make friends online, but you can also run into stalkers, it's a scary world that Parents need to know about, but this movie doesn't do a good job of that
Sadly, there are plenty of stories exactly like the many "intentionally-disturbing" parts of this movie in real life. Junko Furuta's story alone is pretty depressing... and embarrassingly revealing wrt Japan's justice system. But irl doesn't have all this bad dialog and editing and acting, and that's what really gets botched. I can easily google independent concepts from the movie (child sex trafficking, rape dungeons, children hiding sexual trauma behind bravado, easily-accessible CP on the internet without need for "dark web" access - on Pornhub even, underage sex and partying, the list goes on), but I wouldn't be able to find you a real-life example of parents of a missing child, likely kidnapped by the same man who is currently holding & raping her best friend, looking bored as fuck while talking to the press. It's sad and pathetic and _insulting_ how bad this movie is. Victims like Furuta deserve better than this hot garbage.
@@Kiss_My_Aspergers this, and the movie feels like an insincere inspiration of Ruruchan. If anyone doesn't know, it's much like the plot of Megan is Missing besides the kidnapping. combining the tragedy of Furuta and Ruru and you get the _idea_ of this movie but it was executed poorly.
My "favorite" line in this movie is 17:25. It's just so stupid I can't. "Aw man, after seeing those pink ribbons, I really regret kidnapping and raping that girl."
Shiny Wurmple not to mention her lack of caring. Like she doesn't know why they're doing it either. "Yeah we just like want the bad guy to like feel bad and like yeah" wtf
Funny story about this film. I was really bored when I was like twelve and decided to google my teachers. So my fourth period science teacher was named Amy Herman. Guess what pictures showed up? Boy was I confused.
"In the old days teenagers weren't like this." i was a teen in the mid-to-late 80s, and yes we were like this. We just didn't have the same technology.
@@louschwick7301 Lmao ok boomer. Just so you know, not all teens are that way. I'm a teen myself and I'm not a "rebellious moron". Please stop generalizing a whole generation.
"In the old days, teenagers weren't like this..." Uh...I was a teenager in the 80s and the only reason we "weren't like this" was because we didn't have the same technology.
DarkProf1 teenagers got kidnapped and used drugs and went to parties back in the 80's, and they still do today. What's funny though is that Gen z teens statistically get in trouble less than prior gens because we're on our phones and stuff all the time.
@Angelique Truth is Gen Z kids looked up to Millennials and we set a terrible example for you guys. TBH its been kind of a downward trend since WW1 and WW2.
Auran Crash uh...the eras during the two world wars was absolutely terrible with WW2 being the worst, you literally had child soldiers fighting and dying in deplorable conditions and I haven’t even mentioned the death camps and gulags. Those wars are completely different beasts
They aren't, everyone is talking about the end, I don't think anyone on tik tok has ever said this movie itself is good. I see most people saying the message is important (as bad as it is portrayed on this movie)
@@lamaurbenjamin399 tiktokers are constantly praising the movie many of them say it’s incredibly disturbing and some of them go way too far and say it’s the best movie they’ve ever seen
@@kingofgalaxy9061 oh I totally agree that if someone thinks this movie is remotely good then they either passively watch films or have actually bad tastes (I'm not one to judge peoples opinions but this movie was at best disturbing in the end and at worst...well the worst.)
it's like when your assigned to make a short film for a class but you forget and make it last minute and terrible, but the teacher gives you an A anyway.
It’s still mind-numbingly stupid for him to keep moving around while she’s just sitting there with her camera. He could try and be at least _a little_ inconspicuous
+RUSHOUR3E I'll be 28 in 2 weeks and both of them look older than me! They could've just upped the age a little bit to 16 or 17 then it'd at least be somewhat more convincing.
The thing that creeps me out the most is that the director seems to find the sexual violence in the film enticing and he's just hiding behind a morality crusader pretext. Most of these "teens in trouble" movies function just to perversely sexualize young people and not to honestly depict their experiences. And why the fuck did the characters have to be aged 13-15? The actresses look like they're in their early twenties! Why did Megan have to brag about being raped at aged 10 and then graphically describe it? This director's sick in the head.
The ages do make some sense. If you are chatting online with a person, 11 to 16-year-olds are probably (but not always) going to be interested at some point to meet in person, even if they don't know anything about them in real life. Unfortunately, that happens a lot. A person that is older may have more common sense and decide not to meet up. But yeah, a lot of scenes in this movie didn't really need to be in there. The part where she's talking about the blowjob? I don't get why he thought it would be great to put in there. I have never, in my life, heard any 14-year-old brag about giving a blowjob at 10! I don't think that the last 20 minutes weren't really necessary either.
Saying a man's a pedo because of a movie he directed is WAY too much of a stretch. He probably just made unrealistically dirty scenes because of his morality crusade.
Not to mention, nobody ever looked at the fucking camera itself. They looked at the other person's face on the screen, which meant that on video, their eyes would be pointed slightly below the cam. This would be noticeable even on the fucking Motorola flip-phones, and especially on laptops.
Nobody in the US, that's for sure. While video chat phones did exist in 2006, quality was shit and service was expensive, and I'm pretty sure the US didn't get video chat at all until 2007 at the earliest. It was a lot more popular in Asian markets back then. Hell, I didn't even have unlimited texting in 2006 (thanks, Verizon).
Remember Moonlight? Nah we remember Black Panther Actual good movies get shafted by cookie cutter trash because a majority of the population just doesn’t care And it’s really sad Rest In Peace Chadwick Boseman but your legacy shouldn’t be most known for that bland piece of film
do it, it is either good or shit, and either people are entertained by your movie or tearing it apart, just one rule you definitely need to follow regardless of what movie you are making, look at your work objectively, if you are making the script, be sure to make it a good script before you start pouring money into a movie with a shitty script
Those scenes where the girls are just staring into the camera answering questions is like the beginning of a porno...this whole movie is grossly sexual. I hope any parents that have seen this know that kids really don’t act that way.
@@Ann1ka2425 comparing poughkeepsie tapes to this piece of crap is like comparing the flavor of a cheesecake to a rock u found in the gutter outside a slaughterhouse in pittsburgh
If you're a teenager who hasn't seen many, if any, horror movies before I can absolutely see why you'd consider it disturbing. Personally I do find the drawn out rape scene of an underage character to be disturbing, but not really for the reason the filmmaker intended.
@@nwahnerevar9398 yeah, it kinda seemed like micheal goi had a really weird fetish. People on tiktok only find this scary because they've never seen anything like this before. The only thing I found even a tiny bit creepy was Amy being stuffed into the barrel with Megan's rotting corpse and being left to die.
"Not concerned about quality but about sending a message" - in other words he was too wrapped up in the basic concept to actually be bothered to create a legitimate story
B-but it's soooo realllll! All teens are partying in alleyways and abandon soda shacks taking black tar heroin and punching old people. Then they talk about their mouth r*pe and hide old toys under bridges. Oh and the FBI would definitely give some random director the found footage of a serious crime for a cheap flick.

Well yeah, it had a preteen molestation story in it based on a friend's kid's experience. Pedo friendfiction, just what we've all come to see!
Bitchslapped I like to think he watch a few Telenovelas and teen dramas took out the love interest and just made it into a horror movie.
"Oh my god...! There's a chair in this house?!" Made me laugh
Oh my God!
_Actual_ furniture!
"Teenagers weren't like this in the old days"
Yep. Because before the internet there were no teenagers acting up, talking to strangers, partying, doing drugs and drinking, etc. Seems legit.
"The 60s? Never heard 'em."
"THE 80'S NEVER HAPPENED!"
Yah it's almost like he was going back to fucking 1950
stillaliveplus1forme I guess teens never made out in their cars in the 1950s
There were no drugs or anything back then at all
Admiral Swallower yah in the 50s go back to the late 40s and 1950 though. It's fucking hand holding and OH FUCK MY DAD DIED IN THE WAR 5 YEARS AGO WILL I BE NEXT!!! The early 50s was when we got the ball rolling
I love how he edited the news like I did when I figured out about transitions in powepoint in 3rd grade
"Let's just add every iMovie filter to it. Ahhhhhh, that's the stuff. Now to just sit back and wait for the Oscars to roll in."
He knows ALL the shortcuts
14:40 best transition
I was amazed at how cheesy the news segments were. It detracted from everything going on.
So did Michael ever, like, notify the girl's parents or report it to the authorities when he heard her describe being raped at a summer camp for kids? Were the parents & victim okay w/ him putting her story of the assault apparently "word for word" in his movie? Seems a little insensitive. And the 13 & 14 year old girls had no qualms about openly discussing this is front of a 40 year old guy who's friends w/ their parents? This story just doesn't add up
Caroline Cardwell and why would his friend’s kid tell him about this kind of thing? He’s not a therapist and most kids aren’t close enough to their parent’s friends to tell them stories of traumatic experiences
I’m gonna assume he’s full of shit and made the whole thing up. At least I hope that’s the case.
@@AH-be6bu it's fucked up even if it was made up as he wrote that dialogue for a 15 year old to say
Maybe he was doing research and in the process that story ended up being told to him. But I’d buy it more if it came from parents rather than the kids it supposedly happened to.
@Regg Sigg Michael literally said it, and it was brought up in this video.
"In the old days, teenagers weren't like this."
I actually burst out laughing. Funniest part of the entire video.
My mom told me she used to be a crazy ass teen and was shocked to find out I hadn't even touched alcohol until I turned 21.

Apparently this movie actually was based on a real murder case. Two girls (named Miranda and Ashley, don't know why they didn't keep the names the same if it's based on this but whatever) who were friends that lived next to each other in an apartment building. One day, one of the girls disappeared. The other disappeared only a few months later, except, before she went missing, she had expressed her ideas of a possible suspect who lived in their building. She went to confront him about it, and then wasn't heard from again. I don't really remember the details of how they found them, but their bodies were found buried in the ground stuffed into a barrel.
This movie sucks.
ETgohome13 a movie of this would be so chilling and scary - imagine only really cantering it around the apartment complex, especially at the end and how claustrophobic that would be when the paranoia kicks in when the girl realises she lives in there with the killer and only she knows...
What the fuck... that makes it so much worse. Making profit off such complete disrespectful garbage based off two girls and their families actually going through something that.
ETgohome13
Besides all that, it's two teenage girls that go missing!! How can you NOT see it's the same story?!
It's %100 based on that!!
Seriously, though. It is in VERY poor taste to keep their real names. . . .

She puked? I legit thought somebody threw an egg at them for laughs.
The only scary part of this movie was Megan's body in the barrel and the fact that Amy got buried alive in the barrel with a corpse.
That is kind of scary. That and they probably never found her body or the guy who killed her. I mean you can't really identify the woods there was no road or anything in the footage, She could be anywhere in the Continental United States!
cptnsquires it's fake
no its obviously real because its in a film
I know i was talking about in the setting of the film. Since the Killer is never really physically seen besides an arm. Police or Federals likely never located Megans Killer or where her body was buried. That would be soulcrushing for her parents.
that was probably the only part of the movie that wasn't either hilarious or cringey

You sir just made my day.
This movie makes me so mad because the acting its so bad but the images were actually kinda terrifying. Just think how could it had been with better acting and good dialogue tbh
I remember watching this years ago and being completely shaken up by those two images. I've watched a lot of Adam's videos multiple times but I never came back to this video because I didn't want to see them again. Today I thought i'd watch it again. Maybe my imagination had taken it out of proportion. But nah, they're both still absolutely horrifying. It doesn't affect me nearly as much as it did back then, but they're really fucking well made. Still, I don't think two incredibly well made and incredibly disturbing images mean that this film could have been good, because every single detail of this film is super flawed, and there was no reason to show those two images in the first place. It was just shock value. It didn't add to anything
@@cheekybananaboy3361 How much do you wanna bet Goi made this entire movie JUST to have those images made?
Really, though? They can't look more fake to me. Specially when Megan is opening here eyes like that trying her best to make a shocked expression.
Are you kidding? I don't know how sheltered you guys are but those images.....are literally just fetish porn. Like.....those "torture instruments" are commonly used in weird fetish rape porn. It's transparent Michael Goi just wanted to film fetish shit.
I laughed out loud when I saw those pictures. They are trying to hard to make a creepy pasta.

"look at this movie about scary people on the internet! look at this drawn out rape scene and torture scenes! are you disturbed? well? are you?" i hate this type of writing, it makes me legit mad lmao
writing purely for shock is a fucking cancer on the “horror” genre
@@mareysue6370 the only person who can get away with shock value is John Waters
Ok, I get you people are offended by anything nowadays, but you’re really misinterpreting what the creators mean.
In what way is presenting something as bad somehow glorifying that bad thing? It isn’t, they are obviously aware. This isn’t like Cuties where they actually filmed what they are warning about. They’re simulations, a fugazi, it’s not fucking real.
The only ones being offended are people like you. Why? Why are you offended? Does hiding away from the real world comfort you? The fact that it disturbs you is comforting because it shows you still have your humanity to know that it’s wrong.
Why is “Shock” wrong. Some thing are truly shocking and they should be. Horror movies were not intended to comfort you. Why are you angry at people presenting the shocking acts when you should be mad at the the shocking acts itself.
Idk something just tells me that most of you are politically far left and non traditional and or SJW, LGBT, and other victim complexes. You just like to feel bad or something. But that’s me just guessing.
@@kylevernon I don't think they're complaining about the movie glorifying horrible things or showing horrible things. Rather, they are complaining about movies that substitute good writing or clever presentation for shock value. Whether you think it applies to this movie or not is up to you, but they were not censoring this movies or saying that it should be banned.

Mark Damon is my favourite.
I can't wait for matt Damon in the bourne Legacy
Being that we were born the year Good Will Hunting was released, we tween girls sure do just love that Matthew Damon
apparently people on tiktok heard about this movie and are passing it around, convincing middle schoolers that the torture porn in the last 20 minutes is REAL... which is wildly irresponsible but also mind boggling and hysterical
anyways it's weird for me because i watched this video when you first released it 7 years ago so. you might be getting a weird surge of views on this one, Adam
Even if the last 20 mins was real (which it isn't) the director wouldn't be able to show it because that's crime evidence
to be fair he certainly sets it up to seem as if the two pictures of megan and the last 22 minutes of the film are real. my friends and i turned it off because just the pictures made us uncomfortable and when the torture porn started it was too much.
It’s legitimately disturbing to me how this younger generation, who is growing up terminally online, is worse than any other generation at determining real or fake shit online. I can’t stand it. I see videos/movies from when we were young being noticed again that we already knew were fake, yet these kids actually have no idea and will even argue with you when you tell them it’s not real. I’m only 25 and I feel like a boomer when looking at how dumb some of these teenagers and kids are nowadays.
@@dylan351321 Yes, they are genuinely worse at it now. We grew up before smartphones, ease of access. Kids who can work smartphones can't efficiently work or understand how a traditional PC works. The internet is very different now. There was a certain suspension of disbelief and honestly crappiness of a wilder, younger internet that we grew up with. They had these convenient devices at as low as 2 in some cases, and they can't tell the difference between real and fake because it's all they know... And modern fakeness can look very real.
I mean, look at deep fakes. We are very clearly heading toward a post-truth dystopia where people are allowed to choose what is real or fake based on opinions. I'm not trying to be alarmist but as this technology improves, again, especially deep fakes, we are heading toward a world where objective reality itself is dead.
TLDR: They're dumb and we are royally screwed.
I thought that the entire "my child is missing" scene was a gag bit
by far the worst acting in this movie is the news anchor and the parents plea lmao
Yeeeah theres something a little offputting about that kid opening his mouth going " :O "

"It's the implication"
Showing two pics of a girl on a rape rack and showing a drawn out rape scene isn't my definition of just implying something
Tales From the Pipes what would be more effective would be if the camera fell on the floor and the audience just heard the noises of a struggle.
@@resplndnt Yeah! I hate drawn out rape scenes. It's extra creepy when the character is a minor
Lordi you can make a scene very effective if you imply just enough to give the audience the idea of what’s happening, the contrast to this is the rape scene in I spit on your grave, but that scene is meant to be horrifying and it is
@@resplndnt I agree with this. A tasteful cut away or even implications are fine but don't linger on the scene
@@AlbinoLoki The thing is that you cant really believe theyre minors since they look like theyre in their 20s or something

Brylei Craig yeah but not this
True. This is what 13 year olds wanted to be. So edgy. I was so nervous going to my first (and last) party because I thought the sex and drugs would just be too much to handle! The night ended with all of sitting in a circle playing spin the bottle and giggling at cooties when we dared each other to kiss each other. The drugs ended up being hot dogs, soda and chips. Honestly, it was great and I wish parties and get together were still like that. No booze, no separating into cliques and having to nod at conversations you can’t relate to. Just innocent fun. So edgy!!
People in my film studies class, today, were talking about this film and how it’s some “groundbreaking, obscure masterpiece” because apparently it’s gone viral on TikTok or something, and the entire time I was just thinking back to this review. The fact that there’s people (people who I like and who have film opinions I respect and often agree with) who unironically like this movie is astonishing to me

I genuinely believe we should ban minors from social media, full stop
I've seen people defend this film on the grounds that it's based on real events as a way to negate criticism.
1) "Based on" are the key words. This isn't a documentary, it's a film that borrows elements from the case(s) in question.
2) It's still a garbage film
3) If this film is truly based on actually events, don't the victims deserve to have their stories (even with the possible creative liberties taken) told in a better way than this poorly acted schlock?
Long story short, "this is based on actual events, you jerkface." isn't a good defense. Hell in some circumstances, it can actually be a indirect form of insult towards the work in question.
Based on real events - kids use phone cameras, chat with eachother, party and, at some other place, rape happens lol. Saying it was based on a real criminal event would be something different. Based on real events could be a person taking a shit in the movie. So when people defend movies, because they are based on "real events", it's laughable.
someone needs to check this director's hard drive.

And this movie is another one that's like "fuck it, hire grown women to play 8th graders"

David Coventry
their ages changed all the time in the movie
Amy was actually 22, not sure about Megan.
+Qorelin the actress who played Megan was Rachel Quinn, she was 21, so they were young adults, not pubescent kids
You guys remember when way back in 1999 everybody thought that the Blair witch was real and that it was the scariest shit ever and now here we are in 2020 and TikTokers think that Megan is missing is real some things never change huh
Man at least The Blair Witch Project was convincing
And above all else Blair witch was a technical masterpiece in my opinion despite its lack of horrific content.
The only difference in 99 being
1. It actually had convincing acting
2. The script felt realistic
3. The camera work actually felt authentically
4. The internet wasn't as widely available so people couldn't just look it up INSTANTANEOUSLY
5. And even on the internet the actors names actually read as missing on IMDB for a while as a hoax, so even if you did do your research you could have been fooled.
6. Pretty much everyone knew it was fake nine years later.
In conclusion, people are dumber now.
You are selling blair witch way too short...

"I'm Cool Cat, and I love all kids"
This movie feels like a fake scenario being imagined by a fake depressed 14 year old.
Like a shitty gacha story.
Sadly, there are plenty of stories exactly like the many "intentionally-disturbing" parts of this movie in real life. Junko Furuta's story alone is pretty depressing... and embarrassingly revealing wrt Japan's justice system. But irl doesn't have all this bad dialog and editing and acting, and that's what really gets botched.
I can easily google independent concepts from the movie (child sex trafficking, rape dungeons, children hiding sexual trauma behind bravado, easily-accessible CP on the internet without need for "dark web" access - on Pornhub even, underage sex and partying, the list goes on), but I wouldn't be able to find you a real-life example of parents of a missing child, likely kidnapped by the same man who is currently holding & raping her best friend, looking bored as fuck while talking to the press.
It's sad and pathetic and _insulting_ how bad this movie is. Victims like Furuta deserve better than this hot garbage.
Worse...it's a fake scenario being imagined by an actual perverted 50 year old (Michael Goi).
@@Kiss_My_Aspergers this, and the movie feels like an insincere inspiration of Ruruchan. If anyone doesn't know, it's much like the plot of Megan is Missing besides the kidnapping.
combining the tragedy of Furuta and Ruru and you get the _idea_ of this movie but it was executed poorly.
stuff like this has actually happened in real life though

If these actress' are supposed to be playing a 15 and 13 year old, then I'm the fucking pope
And I'm Joseph Stalin
Hello I happen to be the first gerbil in space nice to meet you and share your belief
Buddy Duarte Congratulations on your new position as pope!
I ca buy Amy as a 14/15 year old but Megan...yeah, nope!
Would you accept a steam code for Undertale?
tiktok kids have terrible taste if they consider this movie a great movie
it's not a good movie, the blue barrel scene just fucked me up because my guard is down
@@JulianFikry // this is the only comment thats new and actually makes sense.
well, they’re tiktok kids, so
It’s so bad and the ending is quite disturbing I would rather watch literally any other horror film.
dude its not that they think its great they just think that shock factor is the main thing they focus for scary movie
"In the old days teenagers weren't like this." i was a teen in the mid-to-late 80s, and yes we were like this. We just didn't have the same technology.

@@louschwick7301 Lmao ok boomer. Just so you know, not all teens are that way. I'm a teen myself and I'm not a "rebellious moron". Please stop generalizing a whole generation.
"In the old days, teenagers weren't like this..." Uh...I was a teenager in the 80s and the only reason we "weren't like this" was because we didn't have the same technology.
DarkProf1 teenagers got kidnapped and used drugs and went to parties back in the 80's, and they still do today. What's funny though is that Gen z teens statistically get in trouble less than prior gens because we're on our phones and stuff all the time.
+Holden Roberts I'm a barely of age 18 year old teen of this generation, but I have no idea what 80s teens and young adults were like then
@Angelique Truth is Gen Z kids looked up to Millennials and we set a terrible example for you guys. TBH its been kind of a downward trend since WW1 and WW2.
Auran Crash uh...the eras during the two world wars was absolutely terrible with WW2 being the worst, you literally had child soldiers fighting and dying in deplorable conditions and I haven’t even mentioned the death camps and gulags. Those wars are completely different beasts
@@danieltobin4498 I haven't the faintest idea what your point is, lol
Last year Amy said she was 13 years old.
Now she claims to be 15!
Which is it, Amy? Better keep your stories straight.

i literally have no idea how people on tiktok can take this movie seriously.
They're all children or morons. Simple.
They are mostly children.
They aren't, everyone is talking about the end, I don't think anyone on tik tok has ever said this movie itself is good. I see most people saying the message is important (as bad as it is portrayed on this movie)
@@lamaurbenjamin399 tiktokers are constantly praising the movie many of them say it’s incredibly disturbing and some of them go way too far and say it’s the best movie they’ve ever seen
@@kingofgalaxy9061 oh I totally agree that if someone thinks this movie is remotely good then they either passively watch films or have actually bad tastes (I'm not one to judge peoples opinions but this movie was at best disturbing in the end and at worst...well the worst.)
Michael Goi is directing the current season of american horror story. Looks like some people liked his work enough to give him a major assignment.
shyam sundar Crazy
it's like when your assigned to make a short film for a class but you forget and make it last minute and terrible, but the teacher gives you an A anyway.
He's a pretty well known cinematographer, so he's bound to have some connections.
only one episode.
+Zachary Jock i don't really remember it but it was one of the first episodes of the season so it was probably shit.
When Amy’s rambling on about her bear under the bridge, you can actually see the kidnapper in the background.
the only vaguely clever detail in the whole film.
He was watching her and obviously planning to kidnap her and be ready if she came back, and that's how he got her
Yeah, way before the time she gets kidnapped, too. He was watching her. Only interesting part of the movie, I caught it the first time.
I choose to believe that was just a random person passing by on the street and decided to see what was happening on camera.
It’s still mind-numbingly stupid for him to keep moving around while she’s just sitting there with her camera. He could try and be at least _a little_ inconspicuous
Megan is 14 played by a 24 year old
Amy is 13 year old played by a 22 year old.
+RUSHOUR3E Are you serious? XD
+Space Dorito Peridot
They could have atleast made the character older.
No 13/14 year old looks that mature XD
+RUSHOUR3E I'll be 28 in 2 weeks and both of them look older than me! They could've just upped the age a little bit to 16 or 17 then it'd at least be somewhat more convincing.
+RUSHOUR3E Really? They look 14 and 13 to me. What stunted their growth?
The fact that people on tic tok have been unironically recommending this movie is both sad and hilarious to me.
Last year I was 14... Now I'm 17
Congrats on your 20th birthday
THE voldy Thanks :)

Amy got kidnapped with one hand.
Maybe the guy was a Vietnam veteran
EASY MODE ENGAGE
@@ilovemakingcatgirlscry7574 He's way too young to be a Vietnam vet
does.. does this movie have a lesbian subplot? or is that one friend of megan just a Gal Pal
I don't know, I don't think so. I think that friend was a lesbian, but I don't think Megan was.
Are they...you know
"Kinda crazy that a lot of people are still able to take this seriously."
Aged like fine wine.
The thing that creeps me out the most is that the director seems to find the sexual violence in the film enticing and he's just hiding behind a morality crusader pretext. Most of these "teens in trouble" movies function just to perversely sexualize young people and not to honestly depict their experiences.
And why the fuck did the characters have to be aged 13-15? The actresses look like they're in their early twenties! Why did Megan have to brag about being raped at aged 10 and then graphically describe it? This director's sick in the head.
The ages do make some sense. If you are chatting online with a person, 11 to 16-year-olds are probably (but not always) going to be interested at some point to meet in person, even if they don't know anything about them in real life. Unfortunately, that happens a lot. A person that is older may have more common sense and decide not to meet up.
But yeah, a lot of scenes in this movie didn't really need to be in there. The part where she's talking about the blowjob? I don't get why he thought it would be great to put in there. I have never, in my life, heard any 14-year-old brag about giving a blowjob at 10! I don't think that the last 20 minutes weren't really necessary either.
Saying a man's a pedo because of a movie he directed is WAY too much of a stretch.
He probably just made unrealistically dirty scenes because of his morality crusade.
Idk i thought it was pretty fuckin ridiculous when i heard it too
i mean "hollywood big name has a pedophilic rape fetish" is not exactly a shocker in 2018
^ this movie was made in 2011
The story Megan tells about her camp counselor legit makes me nauseous every time
Oh trust me i almost gagged when the conversation kept going
@@ButcherOfKhorne probably didnt gag as much as megan tho
@@royalblanket ayo
@@royalblanket LMAO
I actually thanked the mom for stopping the conversation!
who the fuck had a cell phone with a front facing camera and video chat in 2006?
I kept my Nokia flip phone until the end of 2013, when I needed a phone that could download apps.
Let alone a phone with more than 13mb.
Not to mention, nobody ever looked at the fucking camera itself. They looked at the other person's face on the screen, which meant that on video, their eyes would be pointed slightly below the cam. This would be noticeable even on the fucking Motorola flip-phones, and especially on laptops.
Nobody in the US, that's for sure. While video chat phones did exist in 2006, quality was shit and service was expensive, and I'm pretty sure the US didn't get video chat at all until 2007 at the earliest. It was a lot more popular in Asian markets back then. Hell, I didn't even have unlimited texting in 2006 (thanks, Verizon).
the kids defending this movie need to realise that you can make a movie to raise awareness without it being terrible and unrealistic
Remember Moonlight?
Nah we remember Black Panther
Actual good movies get shafted by cookie cutter trash because a majority of the population just doesn’t care
And it’s really sad
Rest In Peace Chadwick Boseman but your legacy shouldn’t be most known for that bland piece of film

@@ShyBug42 And don't forget 12 Years a Slave!
@@PentameronSV that was a pretty good movie
the mean girls movie was better than that movies "high school girls "act
These kids are supposed to be 14, just wanted to throw that out there.
I thought they were 12/13
*facepalm*
naw she 15
Now the sexual content is even more disturbing... not that it wasn't but holy shit.
You are the reason I'm afraid to make a movie. But also, you are the reason I *want* to make a movie.
+Austin Zolo better to try than not, as stupid as it sounds, yolo
Go for it man!
do it, it is either good or shit, and either people are entertained by your movie or tearing it apart,
just one rule you definitely need to follow regardless of what movie you are making, look at your work objectively,
if you are making the script, be sure to make it a good script before you start pouring money into a movie with a shitty script
You need to have people watch it and judge it as if they were in this video.
I find this relatable
Those scenes where the girls are just staring into the camera answering questions is like the beginning of a porno...this whole movie is grossly sexual. I hope any parents that have seen this know that kids really don’t act that way.
Everyone on tiktok has been saying “This movie was the most terrifying traumatizing movie I’ve seen”. Like bruh are we watching the same movie?
people love acting traumatized
Despite all of its flaws, The Poughkeepsie Tapes has a similar premise but is far more disturbing than this movie.
@@Ann1ka2425 comparing poughkeepsie tapes to this piece of crap is like comparing the flavor of a cheesecake to a rock u found in the gutter outside a slaughterhouse in pittsburgh
If you're a teenager who hasn't seen many, if any, horror movies before I can absolutely see why you'd consider it disturbing. Personally I do find the drawn out rape scene of an underage character to be disturbing, but not really for the reason the filmmaker intended.
@@nwahnerevar9398 yeah, it kinda seemed like micheal goi had a really weird fetish. People on tiktok only find this scary because they've never seen anything like this before. The only thing I found even a tiny bit creepy was Amy being stuffed into the barrel with Megan's rotting corpse and being left to die.
"Guys, I found the one and only piece of furniture in here!"
"Not concerned about quality but about sending a message" - in other words he was too wrapped up in the basic concept to actually be bothered to create a legitimate story
underage rape is such a fond memory
It's what happens to all the cool kids man
the tik tok community has once again shown why humanity is doomed
B-but it's soooo realllll!
All teens are partying in alleyways and abandon soda shacks taking black tar heroin and punching old people.
Then they talk about their mouth r*pe and hide old toys under bridges.
Oh and the FBI would definitely give some random director the found footage of a serious crime for a cheap flick.
Now the Tik Toks has save the children! /s
@@xercespriest mind you these kids are 14. 14! I’m only a year older than them and I’ve never done this shit. Hell, most of the “cool kids” I know haven’t even done this shit.
