Comments: I rented Megan Is Missing based on a recommendation of a horror blog that I read, where they called it one of the best movies of 2011. While I don't think that highly of the film, it's a really interesting and unique look at child abduction, and one that has an actual point to make. I really liked the two leads, specifically Amy. She's able to be sweet and innocent throughout - so much so that during the last act you feel completely devastated that you can't help her.

Any type of found footage movie (which this is, for the most part) has its flaws, but it's rather easy to overlook those in this film. While Megan Is Missing may not be the best film of the year, it's definitely worth a look.
