The brief read up I read I had it down as a typical low budget slasher, and it had bon jovi as an actor in it. So things weren't looking up before I even pressed play.
However it was quite good, it started off with a typical slasher killing of a girl in the woods, then after that a story and plot develops based on it.
A rich british lad has been expelled from school in England and faces a drugs charge, but good 'ol daddy twists a few arms and gets him shipped off to America and join a private posh school campus.
Here he meets a bunch of kids, and as a prank they deciede to use the recent murder nearby in the woods as their joke.
So they send out a group email to the whole campus saying 'this happened at my old school there were 6 murders, the first was in the woods with a handgun, the 2nd murder was ... and so. They also give the killer a description of an orange ski mask and camo jacket and using a knife for the 5 other murders, and went by the name WOLF.
As word spreads round the campus, 'is this real' or 'is it a joke?' it happens!! ohh one of the group goes missing!! And then other murders start to happen using their hoax descriptions!
Quite a refreshing take on of the whole slasher/campus theme which holds a few twists and turns. Some are blatent too but nevermind.
Over all its an enjoyable movie which is filmed quite well. Cry Wolf looks to have a desent budget to it too, it's good to not see typical bad acting in this style of movie. If I were to sum it up, it's Scream meets Skulls.
