Complete Monster: Josh is a disturbingly brutal example of an online predator. Josh masks himself as a charming individual as he meets the titular Megan online. Exploiting her desire to be loved, Josh convinces Megan to see him behind a diner. When she goes missing, her friend Amy decides to probe further into it, even after Josh directly threatens her. Josh ends up kidnapping Amy from under a bridge, tossing away her camera, and taking her to his cellar where the extent of his horrible deedsis revealed. Josh force-feeds Amy dog food, viciously rapes her, then shoves Amy into a barrel with Megan's rotting corpse, who he tortured to death, and buries her alive in the middle of a forest. Josh is a twisted excuse for a human being who represents the dangers of meeting people online.
Cult Classic: Due to its highly exploitative nature and disturbing themes, the film achieved cult status as soon as it became an internet meme among TikTok users in mid-2020.
Hollywood Pudgy: Amy is called fat by Josh, albeit as he's intentionally trying to make her uncomfortable. While Amy does appear to be just slightly plumper than Megan, this is a bit incompatible with the missing posters for both of them when it's shown that Megan and Amy are exactly the same weight (105 pounds).
Moral Event Horizon: Josh crossed it when he buries Amy alive with Megan's rotting corpse after torturing and raping her previously despite saying he would let her go.
Narm: During Amy's rape, it looks more like she's smiling and laughing rather than crying and shrieking, causing jokes that she's Too Kinky to Torture or the actress is trying hard not to start Corpsing.
Arguably Josh's acting. Initially, he seems to be an awkward but gentle boy. However, in his last two calls to Amy, he gradually shifts to being extremely cold and threatening despite the arguably wooden delivery. It's rather chilling.
The movie itself can be this, while it's very exploitative and has some terrible moments, it has been made clear that some do appreciate the message it's going for, the tragic backstory of Megan, and the fact Goi was putting in effort in his film despite how it came out.
So Bad, It's Good: This film is incredibly exploitative and obviously bad, but at the same time it can be very funny to watch how bad it is.
The photos the FBI collected from a fetish website of Megan.
Megan's dead, decomposing body in the barrel...which Amy is then forced into as well and buried alive in.
Megan boastfully and graphically describing a time where she was mouth-raped by a camp counselor when she was 10.
Tear Jerker: The fates of Megan and Amy. Amy's loving parents desperately plead with the media for their daughter's safe return and Megan remains missing, but Megan's long-dead and Amy's chances of survival are nonexistent. And then the movie ends with the two girls discussing their futures...
Watch It for the Meme: Most viewers were attracted to the film via the TikTok memes surrounding it.
Amy. Such an insecure yet undeniably cute young girl who ends up being kidnapped, tortured, raped, and finally Buried Alive with her best (and only) friend's rotting corpse. And she's only 14.
Megan definitely qualifies, considering her horribly abusive childhood and home situation. All she wanted was to be loved by someone and she ended up getting herself into a far worse situation.
