A surprisingly intelligent suspense/horror film. Notice the dual title I gave to it? Yeah, that's because it takes elements from both to make a much better movie. I'm really surprised they canceled the critics' screenings for this because I honestly... Full review

Twists make the movie particularly intriguing

We saw the movie at an early preview, and had no idea what we were getting into. At first, Cry Wolf seems like it's going to be a traditional, straight-forward slasher movie, but soon you begin to realize that there... Full review

I just came back from a screening for 'Cry Wolf.' I must say, at first I thought it was pretty predictable, but then it takes a cool twist that made me stop and think. Great re-telling of the fabled story... Full review

There are a few surprises, but all in all, Cry_Wolf is rather tame. Teen slasher movie Cry_Wolf relies on its red herrings to keep us involved, but the overly long set up and predictable attempts to scare us detract from the overall. ... Full Review

if it wasn't so convinced that it really was smart.....Despite the weak acting, most of Cry_Wolf's problems lie with first-time feature director Jeff Wadlow, and his screenplay collaborator Beau Bauman (whose most exciting credit is as office assistant for 1999's Analyze This).....The movie wouldn't be as painfully embarrassing as it is.... ...

All in all, Cry Wolf is a harmless, albeit not thoroughly enjoyable, diversion movie. His new Westlake friends, including a sexy red-head and your usual gaggle of those who are too cool for school, have been playing a deceptive game of Wolf / Sheep in the schools chapel at night; but this new game is broader and deadlier. ...
