Cry_Wolf (DVD, 2005, Full Frame - Rated)

The really terrible games begin much earlier at this prep school than you might have expected for our British student named Owen.

Before the film begins character introductions and gets underway, we somehow witness the tale end of a brutal shooting of a young blond woman we have no idea what, when, how, or why.

Our foreign guy named Owen, who has happened to land at this school because of bad circumstances from his previous girl-friend's revenge, lands him at this school only to fall into a group of smart and sassy students who know each other all much to well. Playing a mid-night game where those involved wager upon keeping from being the Wolf. This frightful game has three important rules: Avoid suspicion, lie to your best friends, and eliminate you enemies.

Much to the chagrin of everyone in the group, Owen (Julian Morris), plays the game so well, he comes away with all the money. We soon find that Dodger (Lindy Booth) convinces or sways Owen to spread a hoax email about the murder of this girl by a supposed serial killer describing in detail how it happened and how others next will meet their demise.

This film was well-crafted and thought through, thanks to Jeff Wadlow and Beau Bauman's collaborated genius. At 91 minutes, it's editing was marked only buy its scenery. Even though the story-line gets quite complicated it times, it always seems to follow the one character Owen and keep you feeling for his plight.

Many tricks and turns in this movie, so don't expect any particular outcome, since this film was made to entice the viewer into following it through until the end. If I told you the outcome of this film, it might just spoil things for you, so I'm going to let you decide if you are up for a good mystery/thriller.

I'm going to give this film a 3/5, but I've seen the Unrated Version, and I'd say, it really spices thing up a bit as well.

IF YOU LIKE MY REVIEWS, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO LET ME KNOW BY VOTING. THANKS.

It's called "Wolf" when bored kids at a private school invent a game about lying they pull a newcomer into the mix he wins, but they soon realize the game is growing boring..then one student Dodger invents a twist they invite the entire school to play..first they spread a lie about the killer of a pretty young coed being a student in the school. As the students begin spreading the rumour they sit back and enjoy the start of their game, but all is not well as the newcomer starts getting ims from someone called "Wolf" Has their story about the killer a grain of truth imbedded?..Watch this fun roller coaster ride of a movie and find out...the twist at the end will leave you slack jawed and begging for more..I give this film 5 out of 5 bars..

Cry Wolf

Decent, but nothing spectacular. It's worth watching, but even the most seasoned Slasher fans won't want to own it!

Cry Wolf follows a band of Private School Preppies as they play a game in which the rules are simple - Scare the Other Players

The story is decent and the acting is alright, even the ending is a little twisted. The film offers up a small collection of scares but isn't that memorable.

Final Verdict:

3/5

Rent or Buy?: Being the huge horror fan that I am, this one still isn't in my collection. And unless I get it as a gift, it's going to stay that way!!!

IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.

WHEN THE STUDENTS AT A PRESTIGIOUS PREP SCHOOL SPREAD A HOAX EMAIL ABOUT A SERIAL KILLER,THEY START A GAME OF TERROR AND DECEPTION THAT HAS THREE RULES,AVOID SUSPICION, LIE TO YOUR FRIENDS, AND ELIMATE YOUR ENEMIES.BUT WHAT STARTS AS A JOKE SOON,TURNS DEADLY AND NOW THEY FIND THEMSELVES VICTIMS OF THEIR OWN GAME!

After a local townie is murdered, a group of teenage liars create a warning e-mail of a serial killer named the Wolf, coming on the next full moon. The teens describe each death method the Wolf uses, but when their wish begins to come true, the teens must find their way out of their own death methods before its too late.

Great movie. I enjoyed it...
