Watch Crying Wolf For Free

Sorry, this movie sucks

Excellent adaptation.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

This is a light comedy werewolf story with a taste of cheese. Top billed Caroline Munro had a bit part. The main story (there are numerous sub stories that may or may not be meaningful) is about a group of werewolves going camping to bond as a pack. They are lead to a place by two non-werewolf guides with their own agenda. For some reason werewolf Emma (Rosie Pearson) brings along her non-werewolf step-sister. They also pick up two hitchhikers along the way, who also have their own agenda. The main story (which is read from a book) has a number of people who tell stories. There are some things that don't make sense, but are explained by narration in a pub scene where a bloody Andy (Kristofer Dayne) claims his girlfriend was just killed by a werewolf. Andy of course likes to play jokes and is accused by everyone of "Crying Wolf."There was a lot of blood and killing. The werewolf costumes seemed cumbersome and most of their moving scenes is done in fast motion. The faces had baboon like coloration. They weren't bad for a low budget production. The acting was as expected, including the cheese. While I didn't have any laugh out loud moments, There were a few scenes which made me smile.The film included a number of lines that were a bit cliche and others that seemed appropriate: "I wonder what the locals taste like." and "He smells familiar."Guide: F-bomb. No sex. Nudity (Rosie Pearson, Alyssa Noble, Chloe Farnworth, Lisa Ramon, Olivia Jewson, Gwellian Higginson)

A horror comedy that has folks in England running for the pubs as werewolves run rampant. An investigator acquires a book with the wolf legends in it. He reads this in a pub while we visually see what he reads. This one misses the mark on every level and has no bite at all.It has that Saturday afternoon TV show kind of feel. The special effects are 90% CGI and 10% costumes. The only thing missing in this was Eric Roberts.After you watch this you just want to punch who ever was involved in making this film for exposing you to it. There could be health risks. Skip it.

There are a couple things I should mention before I get to my review of Crying Wolf 3D. First, I am not a huge fan of gory horror films, so I am sure this impacted my enjoyment of this film. Second, although the film apparently is in 3-D, the copy I saw was not and perhaps seeing it in its intended form might have improved the film.The setting for the film is in the Cotswolds in England. For you non-Brits, that's west-northwest of London in the countryside. It's the pretty and peaceful part of England where Shakespeare lived....though it's not all that pretty or peaceful in this film, that's for sure! It begins with a private eye buying a book from a strange lady...one she keeps refusing to sell him. Then, he reads what is the story you then see. In this story, a group of werewolves are going on a little vacation--to frolic in the countryside, camp out, sing a few songs and kill folks for kicks. You see, unlike the typical movie werefolk, these werewolves like to travel in packs and are not tormented by their evil desires...in fact, they revel in them. As they're out doing what werewolves do best, they don't realize that one of their past victims which somehow escaped has returned with a friend to hunt down the hunters. The end is a giant gore-fest--with exploding bits and blood flying here and there.For me, one of the only things I liked about the film was seeing Caroline Munro (a former Bond girl and cast member of the Dr. Phibes movies) playing the strange bookstore owner. The basic plot ideas also weren't bad and could have worked. However, the execution of the story was seriously flawed. There's a lot of gratuitous blood and breasts, but there's no finesse to the story at all...it's just breasts and blood. For some people, that might just be enough to warrant watching the movie. But the characters and dialog were so poor and I simply didn't care about anyone and that's the real shame in Crying Wolf. Had they chosen to make it more of a comedy and made the dialog at least somewhat believable, I could have enjoyed the picture much more than I did. Or, had they made it a serious drama with real tension and decent characters, I could have also enjoyed it more. Instead, it's just another cheap horror film with little to distinguish it.

I enjoyed "Crying Wolf", but on balance, it was a hot mess. There were a whole bunch of unlikable characters doing confusing things for obscure reasons; the screen play relied on flashbacks and flashbacks within flashbacks (I think), and changed plot directions in a manner almost impossible to follow; the tone of the movie bounced all over the place (I know, it's "comedy-horror, but still!);and if it hadn't been for subtitles on the DVD I watched, I wouldn't have understood half the dialog.Since this is a werewolf movie, I'm obligated to say something about the special effects and the CGI. They were sketchy and limited, but it was obvious that someone was working very hard and skillfully with a limited budget and tool-set, and the effects didn't distract too much.With a movie like this, it's hard to judge the acting. It's my impression that decent-to-good actors were playing cardboard roles very broadly and without a lot of nuance...but this isn't a movie where nuance was needed (or even desired). I liked this more than maybe I should have, but I think the director had a good sense of what he wanted to accomplish in the horror- comedy genre. It was actually funny in spots and made me smile more than once. 6.5 rounded down because it's a "weak" 6.5.
