Content:  Megan is Missing was made with a low budget, which is part of the reason for the found footage format. Goi self-financed the film as he believed that investors wouldn't fund it due to the violent script. It was shot over a week in 2006 with a small crew of only five people and a budget of $35,000. It had "no motion picture lighting equipment, no grip equipment, no professional sound recording equipment" to have a "raw" and realistic feel to it. The vast majority of the cast were adolescents, and Goi required that their parents be on the set during filming due to the graphic nature of the film. The

Goi stated that he made the film with the purpose of it being a "wake-up call" to parents but instead it is children who discover the film and make it resurface sporadically. The film later began trending on Twitter. Although it has garnered significant popularity, the film had seen very little distribution on a physical format, with DVD copies becoming increasingly scarce with no apparent plans for a rerelease until 2021 with the announcement of a Blu-ray release set for October 26, 2021 via Lionsgate (current owners of the Anchor Bay library).

Jones wrote that Goi's intended lesson within the film isn't successful by grisly imagery (as the ending is difficult to watch for some viewers) but by the film's early exploration of different characters' struggles. Beyond the violent conclusion, Jones emphasizes the film's early scenes succeed in pushing for conversations regarding online safety, healthy communication between parents or trusted adult figures and children, and reaching out for help. Jones wrote that it explores character issues in great detail, such as secrecy, a child's (Megan's) disregarded struggles with domestic abuse and trauma stemming from sexual abuse, peer pressure, and careless internet interactions with strangers.

They claimed that it contained sexual violence and sexual conduct involving young people to such an extent and degree, and in such a manner that if it was released it would be 'injurious to the public good'. They went on to say that it relished in the spectacle of one girl's ordeal, including a three-minute rape scene. They also stated that it sexualized the lives of young teenage girls to a "highly exploitative degree".
