On Our Bloody Obsession podcast, Kelly and I try to look at films that we feel we can discuss with intelligence and really bring something to the conversation. That’s why we decided to discuss Michael Goi’s Megan Is Missing (2011) and Lucifer Valentine’s A Perfect Child of Satan (2012).
Both of these films look at the horrific abuse and sexualisation of women at the hands of evil men. These aren’t films to be taken lightly, and watching them back-to-back was quite the experience to say the least. What was most interesting upon examination of these extreme found footage horror films was the way the Internet is portrayed as a predatory landscape, with dangerous possibilities from engaging with people that could be different from who they say they are.
Trigger warning because this discussion gets quite dark in places and these are films that are boundary pushing and contain sexual abuse of minors.
