Megan Is Missing (2011)
Out of 90 minutes, only one second managed to be good.
And even that second wasn't that great. It was basically just a surprise shock. I'm not going to write any spoilers, because I want to make sure you read this. The first hour is just annoying teenagers babbling about how they're cool for having sex and drinking and making fun of the only virgin.
I don't know what emotion the first hour was intended to provoke, but annoyance was the only one I felt. And at least the 45 minutes do nothing to build the characters or the plot. You grow only to hate Megan more and more. In fact, you grow to hate every character except Megan's best friend, Amy, who is a self-hating pitiful girl that every one makes fun of because she isn't a giant whore.
The last 20 minutes are only there for shock value, and most of it is terribly acted, boring, and just make you feel uncomfortable.
There is a one-second reveal that made me jump, and only because I happened to walk back into the room at the exact moment.
If you're looking for a genuinely scary movie, this isn't your movie. If you're looking for a movie showing the danger that children are in due to online predators... this still isn't your movie. The characters are too one-dimensional to be believed and if you're a parent, trust me your teen doesn't act like this.
If you're looking for a cheap shock based only on surprise, you can do better. I've had serious shocks from movies that don't annoy you for 80 minutes before getting to a shock moment.
Basically, watch something else.
Srpski film (2010)
Watching this movie is like sucking on a hot piece of garbage.
I have a very open mind going into every movie I see. I'm willing to enjoy gimmicks and shock just for the sake of shock. I try to judge movies based on whether or not they accomplish the goal they set out to accomplish.
This movie does accomplish its goal. So why did it get a 1? Because its goal is to be completely unwatchable.
The problem with most of the reviews on here, is that they describe how disgusting and morally empty the movie is, which people read and accept as a challenge. You read a review that says the movie is graphic and violent and you think, "I wonder how graphic and violent..." This isn't a challenge. I'm telling you, this movie is bad.
I have to admit, I didn't even finish it. I got to the point that every summary said was the starting point at which everything goes downhill, and I didn't make it any further.
I know that there are people who want to cross the line with their filmmaking, and there are sick, twisted, sadistic people in the world, but I don't understand how so many people could come together to work on a movie like this. I don't understand what parent would allow their child to be in a movie like this.
Yes, there are graphic scenes of pedophilia in the film, and if you're the kind of person that enjoys pedophilia and rape then sure, you should watch this. Otherwise, stay far away from this awful movie.
On a side-note, the film-making team on this film have said that this is an allegory for the Serbian government and how it exploits its people. If this was the message they were going for, there are millions of better ways to go about it. Unless the Serbian government personally sends people to your house to force you to rape your own children, while they're raping you, then the filmmakers failed at their goal to create a governmental allegory. And they failed at making a film.
Don't watch this.
