Editorial Review:
In Cry_Wolf, a group of students at a snooty prep school conjure a serial killer when someone takes a hoax a little too seriously. Owen (Julian Morris, Whirlygirl), who's just transferred to Westlake Academy, quickly becomes enamored of Dodger (Lindy Booth, Wrong Turn), a smart and sultry redhead who masterminds a game based on lying and manipulating the other players. After a murder in the nearby woods, Owen escalates the game by concocting a hoax about a serial killer called the Wolf--a hoax that swiftly turns into reality when the not-so-imaginary Wolf sends threatening e-mails to Owen. Cry_Wolf mixes your standard slasher movie with your standard secret-twist movie to no particularly effect. The Wolf--who wears an orange ski-mask and wields a hunting knife--is a generic boogeyman; text messages just aren't scary; and all the characters combined couldn't muster up an engaging personality. This movie was obviously made to fit a market niche, not because a writer or director had any genuine inspiration or had to exorcise a personal fear--but even for a b-movie this is meager stuff. Also featuring Jon Bon Jovi (Vampires: Los Muertos), Gary Cole (Office Space), and Anna Deavere Smith (The West Wing). --Bret Fetzer

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Woefully Bad
When a supposed horror film is rated PG-13 - the original rating of this film - you know that its a bad sign from the start. That's only the beginning of the crapness of this blundering, stupid and uninvolving film which also strangely features Jon Bon Jovi in a rare acting role. The film centres around a group of school friends who love to play games with each other realising that someone is no longer playing fair or at all, for that matter. What ensues is a pointless, boring and ultimately unsatisfying ... Read More
Rating:  - Fan of Jon Bon Jovi
I'll start by admitting that I'm of the generation that slobbered over posters of Jon Bon Jovi. Really, he's not a bad actor, though I admire his voice more. This movie is part thriller/part mind bender mystery as we try to figure out who is killing people. There are plenty of 'red herrings', and it did take me a little while, but not too long. So, it doesn't get my 'I wasn't expecting that!' excitement rating. The snotty teens are a little irritating, but their personalities realistic. Overall, I think it's ... Read More
Rating:  - Not What I Was Expecting
Admittedly, after reading so many horrible reviews for Cry Wolf, I was expecting to be disappointed. However, that was not the case. Oh sure, this movie will appeal to bubble gum popping teeny boppers but I think the plot had something going for it.
I would have preferred if the kids were in college instead of high school but I guess it lends a more sinister tone to the end using high school kids.
I wouldn't buy this movie but I'd say it's worth a rental.
Rating: - How could it suck this bad? The trailer looked great!
I remember seeing this trailer in the theater, and I remember whispering to my husband that we HAD to see this one. It looked so creepy! Well, it did really poorly at the box office and didn't even get to play at many theaters. Still, I rented it right away when it first came out. Critics and I (and other Amazon reviewers for that matter), don't always see eye to eye. UGH!!! How I wished I would have listened!! This was so bad, so bad in fact I don't even know where to start. The only part I liked was Jon Bon ... Read More
Rating: - Lame and generic teen-flavored horror
Cry Wolf has a somewhat interesting premise: a group of snooty and angsty teens start an ill-conceived prank that quickly goes awry, and soon enough are getting picked off by a knife wielding killer. To say that asking for originality with Cry Wolf is asking too little is an understatement in the very least, but the slasher isn't even any fun to watch, and the kids themselves (including Jared Padelicki and Lindy Booth from Wrong Turn and the remake of Dawn of the Dead) are annoying and you'll be wishing for them ...
