Review of Cry Wolf

Cry Wolf (2005)
6/10
Efficient but mediocre
15 September 2005
Since you're capable of reading what the premise of this movie is at this site, I'm just going to post my comments: Cry Wolf is a great example of how a horror film can hit every cliché level in the book, but also show that there is still undiscovered talent willing to put a decent effort into directing a horror film. While it is a mediocre and honestly predictable film, it does have a lot going for it. Aside from Jon Bon Jovi, it was a great call to cast a group of virtually unknown actors...a huge plus that other horror films of late have been avoiding. The direction and camera work are pretty good at establishing the obvious suspense scenes and despite the formulaic elements that make up every slasher film since the 70s, this one never seems to become as cheesy and hokey as recent films. I'm surprised this one didn't go straight to video considering how much of a tribute it really is, though it seems those are the films that are really worth the buck.
