Before I saw “Cry_Wolf”, I figured it would be another lame attempt at a slasher film. However, I have to admit it was cleverly written. I had figured out who the “villain” was, and the reason he/she was, just not in the exact manner that was revealed at the conclusion. The movie also effectively uses its “obvious” suspects, not allowing the audience to completely dismiss them. This film serves as more of a psychological thriller than a horror film, which it is portrayed by the previews.
To my surprise, other than language, this film was within Dove’s standards. I understand how filmmaker’s believe that fowl language makes their films more believable, but this movie would’ve been just as entertaining and effective without it. Dove cannot recommend this film.
