CRY WOLF
Avoid suspicion. Manipulate your friends. Eliminate your enemies. That's the name of the game that these students play on campus, and on a bigger level it's the name of the game they're playing with the audience. The story begins when a young man bad boy from England transfers to the preperatory school, and makes friends with a group who play a little game in the chapel. Avoid suspicion. Manipulate your friends. Eliminate your enemies. Working with a minimal budget and a no-name cast (except for Bon Jovi and Gary Cole), director Jeff Wadlow has shown us, that when your ambition is bigger than your pocketbook then you can still create an extremely entertaining film. In one scene of outrage at her fellow student's
ignorance and lack of imagination. Dodger exclaims, "You're
all playing checkers, while I'm playing Chess." Overall it's rare to find a horror movie that actually has a method to it's madness, let alone make sense of it, this one follows through quite nicely. I'm the pickiest person I know about movies, if you check out the movie reviews page on my website (in sig) you'll see I've seen a wide range of films. Cry Wolf in my opinion was pretty good, I rated it a solid 7, namely because it didn't make any of the istakes bad horror movies make - dialog, cliche, bad timing, cheap jump scares etc... it only had a few minor scripting problems, but overall it was definitely enjoyable. I will say this, Cry Wolf is not a horror movie, it is a straight-up mystery movie
