ISTANBUL, TURKEY - MARCH 23: The YouTube and Netflix app logos are seen on a television screen on March 23, 2018 in Istanbul, Turkey. The Government of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan passed a new law on March 22 extending the reach of the country's radio and TV censor to the internet. The new law will allow RTUK, the states media watchdog, to monitor online broadcasts and block content of social media sites and streaming services including Netflix and YouTube. Turkey already bans many websites including Wikipedia, which has been blocked for more than a year. The move came a day after private media company Dogan Media Company announced it would sell to pro-government conglomerate Demiroren Holding AS. The Dogan news group was the only remaining news outlet not to be under government control, the sale, which includes assets in CNN Turk and Hurriyet Newspaper completes the governments control of the Turkish media.

Megan is Missing is not a new movie, but it’s recently gone viral. Where can you watch for free?

Anywhere you go online, you’ll find that Megan is Missing is trending. I’ve seen the hashtag (or conversation) on Twitter, Facebook, and even TikTok. Actually, especially TikTok.

On the quick video platform, there is a challenge to record your reaction as you watch the movie, leading up to shocking reveals and images. Is the movie a true story? Why is it trending almost a decade later? Here’s what we know.

These days, it’s not strange for audiences to bump into a movie or series that isn’t particularly new. In fact, because of the COVID-19 outbreak, more people are home searching for ways to entertain themselves and one way to do this is binge-watching shows and movies, so chances are we are going to find a previously underrated movie — such as Megan is Missing. 

In the case of this movie, though, you can thank TikTok for making it go viral. TikTok has the power to make many things go viral, from a product to a film. The hashtag #meganismissing on TikTok has over 80 million views at the time of this writing.

Is Megan is Missing a true story?

The story the movie follows is fictional, but it is based on true events and the images are also inspired by real cases.

Megan is Missing follows the disappearance of Megan Stewart (Rachel Quinn), as her friend Amy (Amber Perkins) is determined to find her best friend. Megan went missing after chatting online with a man named Josh who claimed to be 17-years-old, but you likely know where this is going.

The focus of the movie is to highlight the dangers of online dating and meeting up with strangers, especially young teens and children. Spoilers ahead!

Megan is ultimately found dead (and there’s evidence of torture) by her friend Amy, who is also abducted and tortured by Josh. It’s a disturbing and graphic finale.

Where can you watch Megan is Missing?

The movie is available on Google Play, YouTube, and Amazon Prime for $1.99.
