Spoiler Alert!!! This film is literally the most untalked about slasher film I know of and honestly, it deserves more recognition. The idea about this film is a group of friends who make a story about a serial killer on campus and killing the friends one by one. The problem becomes big when the lead guy finds out that somebody really is killing the friends one by one in the exact way they do in the story. The whole story is confusing but very entertaining and enjoyable. I enjoyed the film for what it was and I didn't really like the big twist at the end because I think it fits well if the twist didn't really exist. It seemed like a big rip off of the slasher film April Fool's Day. I give this film a 6 out of 10 due to the dumb twist at the end.

This was another re-watch, I not seen for some times and I remember really like it back them.After seeing again, after some years, I still felt the same.I liked this movie, it was bit like April fools days, with number of Teens get together and start a rumour about the Wolf Who as killed a girl. The story they made about them self being killed by the wolf end up coming true. Some of pranks were very funny to watch before the killing start! There few twist and turns in the story, When I first saw I didn't she that twist coming at all. 6/10

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.

"This is high school. Nothing's for real."Spoilers galore. Cry_Wolf was made and released at a peculiar time in horror. 2005 was kind of a bridge between the Scream phase of "safe" horror in regards to the lack of violence on screen, as not permitted if you market the film to a larger audience (yet, following the mold of "who is the killer?" and satirizing the slasher genre), and the "grindhouse", blood and guts of Zombie and Eli Roth. The problem with this film is that the lead "final guy" is pretty gullible and easily manipulated. Anyone could see that red-headed hottie, Dodger (Lindy Booth) is *forbidden fruit*. She just doesn't look trustworthy, and I think anyone somewhat together can see Dodger might be the culprit arranging the whole scenario that is the genesis of the movie's stalk-n-slash formula. I dig the look of the "killer", though, and think he's menacing in appearance. The orange ski mask, the hunting knife, camouflage jacket, and the imposing build, I think the person known under the created moniker "The Wolf" is quite an impressive sight. I think one might consider Cry_Wolf the Scream Generation's "April Fool's Day". You see how everyone in the film's little group are puppets on a string and just guess who the puppeteer is? I think many of us can see who that is and yet Owen, and those of the Dodger gang, is jerked around with relative ease.The plot concerns a prank where the proponent is who has the superior skill of lying. A murder outside of a prestigious high school is the inspiration for a spread rumor that the Wolf could be among them. Dodger motivates Owen to spread it, and the two of them detail the killer. Soon, it appears that a real killer, dressed exactly as described by The Wolf, is hunting Dodger's band of preppies. We follow Owen, a Brit who has caused so much mischief he is on probation with this new school being his possible last resort, not to mention his businessman father won't even return his calls, as he tries to unearth the killer and stop him/her. But could appearances be deceiving? I just kept wondering how Owen could be so stupid, but he sure is played like a fiddle. The reason behind the initial murder and all of the shenanigans involving The Wolf (there is an actual ulterior motive regarding teacher Bon Jovi) will come to fruition. Cry_Wolf uses Saw as a model in regards to a particular character pulling the strings behind all that takes place while also informing us of how it all took place. I guess whether or not this is successful to you depends on if the outcome and all that it took to get to it wash. I had a hard time seeing how Owen (and others) could be so manipulated, but the film's point is that the game has a victor and to the victor are the spoils.Before hitting it big on the show Supernatural, Jared Padalecki has parts in movies like this and the House of Wax remake. Julian Morris has plenty of vulnerability and arrogance in equal measure, the perfect foil for a delectable female con artist.
