Horror History: MEGAN IS MISSING Is Now 10 Years Old
The extreme found-footage shocker MEGAN IS MISSING was released on this day in 2011.
One of the most shocking horror movies of the 21st Century is
Megan is Missing. It hit on this day in 2011. Written and directed by Michael Goi, the film serves as a stark warning for teens (especially young women) who befriend strangers online. The found footage film is also one of the first examples of a ‘computer screen movie’. A format later popularized by films like
Unfriended and
Searching.
The ending is so harrowing, this horror journalist had trouble watching; people have criticized it for its over-the-top violence. And the sexualization of its young female protagonists. Truthfully, it creeps right up to the border of propaganda. New Zealand actually banned it! Still, fans of extreme horror tropes applaud

Thanks to Tribune, still covering some big stories decades later February 10 2021
My View: Difficult decisions have repeatedly been made, especially during economic downturns, to keep the paper viable and relevant. Many newspapers across the country have not survived.
It has been an honor to work for the Portland Tribune on behalf of its readers for 20 years. As the first reporter hired in late 2000, I felt privileged to help launch the first new general interest newspaper in the city since the Oregon Journal folded 19 years earlier. I sincerely believe the city continues to benefit from its focus on local news, sports and events.
