Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Michael Ledo 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)

shawnblackman 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.

lemon_magic 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.

amesmonde In a little English village called Deddington a pack of werewolves on holiday come face to face with their victim and hunters friend.More important than director's Tony Jopia's offering is the knowledge that the first scene has Hammer Horror star, Sinbad's Margiana and James Bond's Naomi, actress Caroline Munro. Here she cameos as a shopkeeper, arguably still edible to the older gentleman, surely any self respecting werewolf would be honoured to gobble her up. I digress, many of the same cast and crew of Cute Little Buggers, a low rent Gremlins, reteam armed with a Hammer's business model, like a multi-picture deal of Craig Fairbrass films for... Ba-dumb ching - Crying Wolf! A Kermit the Frog YAY please.Taking a compulsory leaf from American Werewolf in London and Dog Soldiers and the recent Howl, Jopia's Crying Wolf has plenty of sleepy village dolly tracking and crane shots. Jopia armed with ropey CGI (a limited suite of stretch effects, colouring and kinetic werewolves reminiscent American Werewolf in Paris); plenty of claret and fake limbs throws on screen what can only be described as canned wolf fodder. The tin looks good, it contents appear tempting but even if out of curiosity do you really want to open that bad boy up and taste it?To Jopia's credit I've never seen a werewolf film with a grand Bond style opening credit sequence but voilà Crying Wolf has one and a theme tune too. With pub humour, Brookside pacing, gratuitous blood and breasts, this is not to be confused with Jeffrey D. King's independent documentary film Crying Wolf (it's an easy mistake to make). Written by Andy Davie, Michael Dale and Jopia this presentation is ridiculous and equally as silly (including a wrong hole gag) with its out of place flashbacks and unnecessary back stories. Aside from an abundance of pretty looking cast members what's genuinely enticing is the atmospheric locale (possibly interesting if you live outside of the UK), there are also some nice make up, old school practical effects and there's really is a germ of a good idea hidden away in bottom of a pint glass. It's energetic cast include Gabriela Hersham, Chloe Farnworth, Joe Egan (of the well executed short – Predator Dark Ages), Kristofer Dayne, Gabriela Hersham and Ian Donnelly to mention just a few who put in every effort known to man to have fun with their characters. Notable is Angela Holmes who pops up briefly.I'm going to mention (because I can), if I didn't know better I'd say their tagline is a rework of my very own novel but this sub- genre stuff is in the air. With werewolves appearing from the shadows lunging at the camera and popping into an already very cropped frame, for the love of Thiess of Kaltenbrun don't expect Lowell Dean's Wolf Cop. Be safe in the knowledge that John Landis needn't worry about losing his 1981 and 1984 werewolf crown either. This stretched low-budget Carry On up the hammy werewolf is best served with a load of friends, excess barrels of real ale and an aptitude for this type of film. No doubt Crying Wolf will certainly become someone's guilty pleasure.
