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. I'm going to give this film a 4/5, and I've seen the PG-13 Version as well, however, the unrated version really spices things up.

I really enjoyed this movie. A group of prep-school teens have formed a sort of "Liars Club" where they each have to try to fool the other members into believing their tales. After a blonde (not in the group) gets murdered, the group decides to expand their thrills and create a tale to fool the entire school. So, they create a tale in which it is believed that the blondes killer is actually a serial killer. In an email they send out to the entire school, each supposed murder is described in detail. The joke is on the group when it seems the real killer rec'd the email and is now killing each one off just as the email had described. After the murders start occuring, the members of the group can no longer even trust each other. After all, they are all known to "cry wolf" too many times. There are too plot twists that I found to be really nice. I love a movie that can trick me and this one did the trick. I guessed the truth in "The Others" withing the first 20 minutes. I guessed in "The Sixth Sense" almost immediately. Cry Wolf managed to keep the truth under wraps to nearly the end. Nice!Read full review
I of course bought this for the Jared Padalecki factor, but was let down because he was a dumb college kid, instead of having any similarities to the beloved "Sam Winchester" whom I adore. However, it was actually a good movie; interesting twists, decent acting, and enough eye candy to keep me interested all the way to the end! Dissapointed that Padalecki was only in a supporting role, but even if he hadn't have been in it, I would have watched it and enjoyed it.
Cry Wolf Decent, but nothing spectacular. This movie isn't worth buying unless you're a huge slaher fan, and even then it's pushing 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.
Cry Wolf was not really all that scary or suspenseful. If you want to see a great movie that this one is trying to be like, go see Wes Craven's movie titled "Scream" or any of its other sequals - they were all better than this movie. The movie involves a bunch of prep school kids who play a game of murder which begins to look as if it has gone horribly wrong, but then it turns entirely into something else. Yes, someone does actually die, but it doesn't bother you that much that this person eats the dirt sandwhich. You'll know who it is in the beginning of the movie, or better yet, just read the dust jacket to see who's in the movie, then you'll know. The UNRATED version has nothing objectionable or obscene, or anything at all that would make this movie seem remotely UNRATED!? It had to have been a ploy to get you to want to watch it. Save your money.Read full review
