History Film / MeganIsMissing

* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler: Josh kidnaps and kills Megan, he then kidnaps, rapes, tortures, and kills Amy when she goes looking for her. He gets away and is never brought to justice for his actions]]

* BlatantLies: Josh's excuses for not showing his face on webcam.

* BodyHorror: [[spoiler: The contraption that Josh puts Megan in after he kidnaps her.]]

* FauxAffablyEvil: Josh. Josh, Josh, Josh.

* JumpScare: ''Photo #1''. Just...''Photo #1''.

* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: Josh never gets caught.]]

* MoodWhiplash: The majority of the movie is an occasionally creepy but mostly normal found footage movie about two teenage girls and the eventual disappearance of one. Then the last twenty-two minutes become pure terror.

* NothingIsScarier: After Megan's second webcam chat with Josh, she leaves her room, but the camera remains on, giving the feeling that Josh is still silently watching. It lasts for about 15 seconds and is just...creepy.

* ParentalIncest: [[spoiler: Megan's (unseen) stepfather.]]

* TorturePorn: [[spoiler:Again, the last twenty minutes.]]

* DullSurprise: Upon [[spoiler:Amy's abduction]], her parents plead that whoever has kidnapped her should let her go, looking incredibly bored the whole time. Usually, when parents act like that in such a situation in {{real life}}, the public would become suspicious that they're somehow involved. [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot But alas, that didn't happen.]]

* DeathOfAChild: [[spoiler:Both Megan and Amy are succesfully killed by Josh]].

But as the kidnapper's attention turns toward Amy, nothing can prepare her for the horror to come, and she may well end up the next one to disappear forever...

* [[CantHoldHisLiquor Can't Hold Her Liquor]]: Amy at the party.

* InfantImmortality: Averted severely.

** Earlier on, while playing with Amy's new camera, Megan gives an autobiographical interview for a mockumentary, which starts out lighthearted and bubbly [[spoiler: but then takes a sudden dramatic turn when she describes [[TearJerker being molested by her stepfather, followed by her mother blaming her for him going to jail]]. She finishes the interview in tears and [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming immediately receives a comforting hug from Amy]].]]

* StarterVillain: The boys from the party.

* AxCrazy; Josh. At first he looks like a nice and gentle boy. Turns out he's a psychopathic murderer and sexual sadist. Amy in-universe even calls him "crazy".

* DuelingMovies: With ''Film/{{Trust}}'', another independent film dealing with the subject of online predators that was released around the same time. The films differ widely in their presentation of the topic, though, with ''Trust'' focusing more on the [[RapeAsDrama dramatic effects of rape]] and ''Megan Is Missing'' being more of a ScareEmStraight-type film [[spoiler: complete with a far darker and {{Squick}}ier ending.]]

* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: Josh stuffs Amy into a barrel with Megan's rotting corpse and then buries her alive. He isn't caught, either.]]

* EvilSoundsDeep: Josh's voice is quite low and kinda sensuos but sinister at the same time.

* {{Hypocrite}}: The director has a long message on the film's website complaining about, in part, how the media focuses too much on white victims. This film is all about a missing white girl. Even the LampshadeHanging doesn't excuse that he's buying in to the same thing he's complaining about.

* DisposingOfABody: [[spoiler: Josh manages to dispose of Megan's body and kill Amy in one fell swoop when he buries the barrel containing her corpse as well as Amy herself,]]

* AxCrazy; Josh. At first looks like a nice and gentle boy. Turns out is a psychopathic murderer and sexual sadist. Amy in-universe even calls him "crazy".

* SnuffFilm: [[spoiler: The last twenty minutes.]]
