Crying Wolf

This movie begins with an unnamed "Private Detective" (played by Gary Martin) going into a bookstore and asking the "Shopkeeper" (Caroline Munroe) how much a certain book would cost. Although she tells him that it isn't for sale he persists and eventually emerges from the bookstore with it. He then ventures into a nearby pub and after ordering a pint of brown ale begins to read the book in its entirety. What he reads is transmitted to the audience in film. Unfortunately, although the movie is unmistakably British, the viewer should be warned that this clearly bears no resemblance to Shakespeare. Quite frankly, this movie is awful. There's just no other way to describe it. The acting was second-rate, the special effects consisted of people running around in werewolf costumes most typically reserved for Halloween and the humor was almost painful. As a matter of fact, about the only thing going for this movie was the presence of a few fairly attractive actresses in Rosie Pearson (as "Emma"), Kimberly Jaraj ("Kim") and Gabriella Hersham (as "Milly"). But that's it. I wish it were otherwise.

Way to bad the film is not nearly as good as the box cover for the DVD... it's a beautiful werewolf DVD cover but a terrible film. It's a very lame attempt at comedy horror. Way to lame with it's cutesy music, stupid pranks and a werewolf mask you can find at the nearest dollar store around Halloween.

Lots of fake blood being throw around on screen as if that is suppose to be scary. Bad acting - horrible. And a story that will bore you to sleep instead of getting a few thrills and laughs out of you. This is a waste of perfectly good film and time it takes to watch this mess. Don't bother wasting your time. I am a fan of werewolves but this is just an insult to werewolf fans.

1/10

It's CAMPY in all the right spots. Not the best specials effects, but if you like camp, funny and a good story, you'll like this. I liked the story, the cast and their characters were able to pull it together. It's good for a B movie.

I can't rate this any higher than a 5 because it's not a good film in the traditional sense. Everything from the plot to the story, the acting, the effects etc is a mess.

The themes and narratives seem to be pulled out of thin air and there's just no cohesion to the film at all. A character that's introduced briefly you'll find out later might have a huge back story where as a central character has no depth at all.

Having said all of that, this film achieves what every low budget horror film *should* achieve and that is that it is hugely entertaining. There's enough pace and action packed into the runtime you'll never be bored. Yes everything in this movie looks cheap but its a blast and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I'd love to see what the writers and director would do with a more structured plot, better cast and a bigger budget.

All in all a fun time!

The plot of the movie was good to me. The acting and animation of the movie was terrible. Only a few was good actors the rest was terrible.
