It's now been revealed that the film, which is PG-13 in the US , was originally designed to be more graphic, but had some gory content erased in an attempt to lure in a younger audience – a tactic that has paid off.
Is 'Megan is Missing' Actually Real? Well, the short answer is no. It's not actually real footage of a crime, and that becomes pretty apparent when you really think about the footage itself.
It's the beginning of the film's final 22 minutes that have been the subject of controversy since the release. It's definitely not real footage, as the director has said over and over again, but the realism doesn't make it any easier (the same way other films of its kind work).
Amy suspects “Josh” and tells the police about him, and he threatens her on another web chat. He then kidnaps her, and the movie ends with 22 minutes of camcorder footage of “Josh” imprisoning Amy, treating her like an animal, brutally raping her, revealing Megan's corpse to her, and finally burying her alive.
No suspect is ever found and no one is convicted for the crimes. Megan and Amy are victims of a merciless killer who will probably keep indulging in sexual abuse and murder by contacting teenagers through Internet chatrooms. This is the peak moment of director Michael Goi's stance of the film being a cautionary tale.

NO, it is not as scary as "Smile" or recent movie "the barbarian" and it's not as scary as"IT" in my opinion. It's very light jumps-scares and the gore/blood is VERY minimal. Finally, wanted to throw in I took my best friend who HATES horror movies and he said it was the funniest thing he has ever seen.

No. While Goi based his film on real-life child abductions, Megan Is Missing is itself not a real story or based on one specific tale. But viewers wouldn't be faulted for thinking the events in the film really happened, as it marketed itself as based on true events.
