Cry Wolf
USA 2005.
Director: Jeff Wadlow
Cast: Julian Morris, Lindy Booth, Jared Padalecki, Jon Bon Jovi
Julian Morris arrives to his new school and is
greeted by a savvy readheaded temptress who introduces him to a gang of
students playing games to keep from being bored and so they spread the
rumor that a serial killer is doing the deeds at their school. Not so
funny when the game gets a little too real then. Had some expectations
for this one admittedly, hoping that Lindy Booth (she was in the Dawn
of the Dead remake) could ham it up as a treacherous femme fatale,
but the underwritten bloodless script doesn't allow her to and the rest
of the characters are so thin they're transparent. Cry Wolf tries
to be unpredictable and fresh, complete with irksome
u-turn in the
last reel, but ends up being overly predictable, forced and ultimately
easilly forgotten.
