SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

alexia-ransom This may just be the worst movie I have ever seen. Extremely unrealistic depiction of the girls' lives. If Amy is supposed to be a shy 14 year old girl with obviously protective parents, how did they allow her to go to that party with all the junkies at the first place? Also, why wouldn't she tell someone that Megan was doing heroin? She seemed like a better friend than that. Another thing that bugged me was Lexie in Amy's video diary. She blames Amy for Megan's disappearance without a reason, and Amy doesn't seem to try and defend herself. Why on earth would they blame Amy anyway? This makes no sense. Even if it was well directed, it also lacks a decent plot. We have no understanding of the killer's motive, nor do we even watch enough gore for this to be considered at least gory. It was just a massive disappointment and a complete waste of time.

Peppy This review contains spoilers but I won't write them until nearer the end.I gave it 2 stars for the gore factor, which made it quite scary. This movie really does not hold back. Anyway, this movie is absolutely dreadful and personally i find it more disturbing than the human centipede. If you don't like the human centipede don't watch this. It could be kind of funny to watch with friends i guess , to laugh at. I am going to talk about why this is bad, i'm not sure if anything i say in this sentence would be considered a spoiler so i apologize if it is. You were warned after all. The quality of the movie was so bad, it literally looks like a movie made at home for a school project, it looks like it was made on Windows Movie Maker. Sooo bad. The acting was again, absolutely AWFUL! I've seen people in a school play act better then half the people in this movie, how low were they on budget when making this!!??! They couldn't even afford have a real actor for " Josh!"Terrible acting, terrible quality, and it's disgusting.This movie is very gory and sexually explicit, in one scene it has Megan's best friend being led to a bucket thingy and then when "Josh" opens the bucket you see Megan's dead corpse inside! That really disgusted me, it was so graphic!I wouldn't waste my money on a movie like this!

skuggi_drago I found this on Hulu and decided to give it a shot. I was expecting a Lifetime style drama about how talking to strangers on the internet is bad. What I got however was a found footage style thriller/horror film. It opens by explaining this is based on true events and then goes on to portray the footage as "real". You are told from the beginning when the girls go missing. The majority of the film is spent following the very stereotypical girls doing cliché teenage stuff. The acting goes back and forth from being painfully believable and just feeling really forced. After Megan's disappearance the creepy element really starts to kick in. There is one scene where Amy is sitting under a bridge with a teddy bear. While she is explaining why she keeps it there, a figure appears in the background behind some bushes. It is a very simple thing, but the way it was done creeped me out. From here on the movie takes a turn for the very dark and disturbing in a way that I wish I had been warned ahead of time about. The last 20ish minutes is very hard to watch and I would not recommend that anyone who is easily triggered watch this. It has been a few days since I watched this movie, and the images from the last half are still sticking with me.

Poptart_Psycho The negative reviews are a bit harsh, the film isn't that great no and the only real suspense is in the last 20 minutes but it does get a message across So the film is based around 14 year old Megan a straight A student but has family problems at home and hides behind a life of hard partying, drug use and promiscuous sex, her best friend is Amy a social misfit deemed a fat loser at school but they have a inseparable bond. When another friend tells Megan to speak to this new online guy called Josh she agrees, typically his web cam is broken. Days after she agrees to meet him and is never seen again. Amy being a good friend is worried and knows it has something to do with Josh and has now put her self in the same danger.Some may see it as a tad extreme but unfortunately this does happen. What people are missing is their bond, these 2 girls are so different but have a special connection. Megan being popular and liked is a social acceptance for Amy, Whilst Amy's care is what Megan doesn't have but there both equally naive.
