The Hit Horror Film ‘Megan Is Missing’ Is Coming To Blu-Ray

2011’s viral social media hit Megan Is Missing arrives on Blu-ray™ this October from Lionsgate. This terrifying cautionary tale, inspired by a true story, from writer-director Michael Goi (Mary, “American Horror Story”) is about the dangers of online communication. “Controversial. Brutal. Disturbing. To describe Megan Is Missing is to describe the outer limits of terror and horror. But there’s no way to tell the story of the disappearance of 14-year-old Megan Stewart and her best friend, Amy Herman — a story taken from video chats, webcam footage, home videos, and news reports — without descending into the very heart of depravity and despair. Notorious on social media, banned in New Zealand, and enhanced by never-before-seen Blu-ray™ bonus content, Megan Is Missing offers an unflinchingly candid look at the dangerous online world today’s teenagers face — a world that’s every parent’s worst nightmare.” Amber Perkins, Rachel Quinn, and Dean Waite star in Megan Is Missing, available on Blu-ray™ from online retailers

Shudder Review: “Matyrs Lane” Is A Haunting Tale Of Loss

Shudder’s new haunting film Martyrs Lane will arrive this September. Ahead of its release, we’ve got a spoiler-free review for you. In the film, a young girl, Leah, makes a new mysterious friend who comes in and out of her window every night. While the little girl wearing angel wings doesn’t look threatening, not everything is as it appears to be.
