The shocking horror mockumentary blurs the line between fact and fiction.
Every now and then, the internet becomes obsessed with a fictional movie that it believes to be real. Back in the early days of the World Wide Web, The Blair Witch Project's marketing campaign convinced everyone and their parents that three film students had indeed gone missing in rural Maryland. During the pandemic, TikTok users found themselves obsessed with the 2011 found footage horror Megan Is Missing. To many, the images shown in the movie looked way too real to be faked.
It's when the movie gets to the tapes that things begin to feel real, as well as extremely disturbing. Though the physical violence shown in the alleged found footage isn't all that shocking in comparison to other violent, gory horror films, such as Saw or Hostel, the performances and the quality of the images are enough to split the unsuspecting viewers into two categories.
But even though viewers were already familiar with other pictures like The Poughkeepsie Tape, many still believed it to be the real deal. And this belief is not exclusive to TikTok: on Reddit, there are posts from as long as 10 years ago wondering whether the movie is indeed just a movie.
