There is a found footage film that has gone viral on Tik Tok and social media over the past few weeks. Viewers claiming they are being traumatized. Some are convinced it’s real. It’s even become somewhat of a dare to even sit through it, going so far as to prompt its creator to post an eerie video on Tik Tok (below). Over 200 million views on the hashtag and counting. It has even recently soared to the number one spot on IMDB.
The movie is 2011’s Megan Is Missing.
We invite you to go behind the mystique of the film with a very rare conversation and cast reunion with writer / director Michael Goi (the now Emmy nominated Cinematographer and Director behind projects like American Horror Story and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) and the two stars of the film – the wonderful Rachel Quinn and Amber Perkins! On The Boo Crew Podcast Episode 185, they answer absolutely everything you’ve wanted to know about the movie and how they made it, including the film’s important message.
Hear the detailed story behind the mechanics of the incredibly disturbing final 22 minutes that has resulted in more than a few sleepless nights.
“I can’t look at those either…”, shares Quinn, who played 14 year old Megan Stewart, recalling the movie’s infamous Photo 1 and Photo 2 that begins the film’s shocking turn. “I’ve had some friends who are like, I’ve found this photo of you on the internet and I say, please don’t text it to me, I don’t need to see that photo anymore.”
“I just wanted people to realize….what we are actually talking about”, explains Goi on his bold decisions near the film’s conclusion.
“I didn’t want this to be a movie that people would sit and watch. I wanted this to be a movie that people would see themselves in and experience, in a personal way.”
With all the recent attention on the film, people who have found themselves deeply unsettled by Megan Is Missing have been looking for answers as well as passing along their experience.
“A lot of people want to know if it’s real,” Amber says, “What I tell them is that, for us luckily it wasn’t real. We we’re filming it, but unfortunately things like this happen to people. So it IS real. Not to us but for other people unfortunately. It’s a sad reality. It’s going on now and it’s gonna go on forever and I think a lot of people think okay, it’s not going to happen to me. That’s what everyone says before it happens to them.”
