Very entertaining, surprisingly good for a small budget and unknown actors. I kept thinking I'd seen Tom (quite good-lookin') somewhere. Sure enough, he's Jared Padalecki, Supernatural's Sam Winchester, just getting started on his more stellar career. Julian Morris, playing Owen Matthews, did an excellent job as the campus newcomer with a somewhat shady past. Kept me wondering. In fact, the whole film did, right through the last scene. I went back to replay that one (On Demand) just to watch Lindy Booth's marvelous blue eyes. Then I ran in to look up IMDb and encourage an audience. This film is perfect for anyone who likes a thriller/horror flick, one with some intelligence instead of all jump-scares and blood. Read the excellent reviews below for additional praise. Happy viewing, y'all!

This is a great little film but personal preference will play a major part in your enjoyment.Some kids make up a story and now it looks like a killer is running amok or is it all a big joke? Not amazingly original but it is a well tested formula that works.The characters are stereotypes but don't think of this as a trashy Hollywood slasher. There are no guys with JOCK on their jersey or pot smoking Rastafarians to be seen.Here is the deal maker/breaker; this film has a long, gentle burn, meaning you don't see anyone get exposed to anything pointy until the later portion of the film. If you are after a quick slasher fix this will seem very dull and slow. If you are feeling a bit more patient then this is perfect.Lindy Booth steals the show as the vixen amongst the wolves but all performances are more than adequate. There's a bit of a twist near the end but it is unlikely to surprise you.Gore, nudity and bad language are negligible- you can watch this with your gran.

Awful is a pertinent description for this movie. A group of spoiled private high school students reside at a posh boarding school where apparently every student is constantly alone in the dark huge stone structures of the campus, whether it be the dorms, library, or showers (and, of course the showers). All characters lack empathy or any semblance of common sense. As the "drama" unfolds as one practical joke or misunderstanding after another (none of which are surprising or even slightly imaginative), this stinker plods along with extreme overacting and a plot line that seems to have been made up as they went along. I'm bot sure what category a movie like this belongs in, but it certainly belongs in the waste bin. Does anyone watch these movies before they are released?

For those of you who only read the first line - WATCH THIS MOVIE if you haven't yet.Just as the game in the story is all about deception, manipulation and off-throwing - so is the movie! It starts off just like any other teen-horror film. All the indicators are present. Small esoteric isolated town, typical gang of friends, even some minorities (not to be racist or anything, that's just the way it is), a nerd, a jerk, and even a Prom Queen-New Guy affair to top off the clichés. What could go right, huh?The dialogs unfortunately appeared to to be out-of-character and really hurt my suspension of disbelief. The high level vocabulary (while always a nice surprise in such films) should not have been used by the "idiot"/"jerk" of the gang...Then, suddenly - the audience who have been expecting nothing more than another mediocre McDonalds apple pie, get a gourmet chocolate soufflé. It begins with the brilliant shooting (i.e. enactments of the scenes described by the dialogs, the Email being written as the information in it is verbalized, etc.) While not all that original, I think the director has managed to renovate and upgrade the technique.However, the absolute best part (and the main reason I've given this film 9/10) is the game. As corny as it might sound - while the kids are playing their pranks on each other, the real prank victims are us. At first, like 27 minutes into the film, I snapped my fingers and "called" who the killer was. "I have too long a history of whodunits", I said to myself, "this has been a disappointingly easy guess". Was I ever wrong... Towards the end - so many twists, changes, confusions, half truths and lies... I dare you to guess the ending halfway through! If at first we were accomplices to the gang's pranks, by the end we were taken out of the picture completely, just like the actual victims.It's not the sort of film like Saw IV where you have to rewind and re- watch in order to understand what happened. By the end of "Cry_Wolf", all questions are asked, and answered.Genius story! A little more work on the dialog and the acting of some of the teenagers, and I'd have given it 10/10. Like I've said at the beginning - WATCH this film. The BEST teen-horror/twist film I've ever seen! The genre has obviously come a long way since Scream & I Know What You Did Last Summer.
