This was a thriller, okay one at best disguised as a horror movie which it wasnt in any sense. A decent story idea keeps this a float.
Have just rewatched this one. Don't know how my original rating was 4. Hmmm... It is an okay horror with an abrupt ending. The real star here is Lindy Booth as Dodger. I don't know how this girl didn't go on to have a more successful career, as she is quite interesting on sc... read more
I had very low expectations of this film given the reviews I had read, but it was actually okay. It's certainly not the standard slasher film I thought it would be, though I can't say it was a jewel of modern cinema either. Jon Bon Jovi does make a hot teacher though.
Cry Wolf has all the ingredients of a typical teen Horror, the not so great acting, cheesy lines, usual predictability, however the storyline is actually a pretty good one, with an enjoyable ending and had this been acted better, I think this is one that could have been one of th... read more
They tried...they REALLY did try.
They tried to be creative and 'cutting edge" and clever, but alas it is (ultimately) just your avergae horror film.

A wreck of a movie. I expected a clever school slasher film, but it's tedious and silly. I wanted to like this movie very much after hearing its description.
A decent slasher flick.
"Cry Wolf" this was a really awesome movie great story you had no idea that it would have ended like it did, but it just wasn't scary enough so that didn't make the ending seem so shocking like it should have been. for instants the saw films were intense throughout the hole movie... read more
Not only is it kind-of-sort-of-almost good, but it's also arguably the best horror movie in theaters right now -- thanks to a decent script with a couple of great twists. Full Review
The movie consistently keeps us guessing, right up to its twisty, satisfying finish.
A clever teen thriller with intricate plotting, deft characterizations, sharp ensemble performances and a darkly ironic twist at the end. Full Review
In this adolescent horror flick, the first-time screenwriters Jeff Wadlow and Beau Bauman prove more adept at staging mind games than creating chills for the audience.
Give it points for trying something different -- and then take them back for botching the job. Full Review
The film seems less interested in suspense than in providing a primer for parents as to what devices their teens are fiddling around with all day.
