... View MoreCRYING WOLF is a somewhat lamentable zero-budget British comedy horror film about a group of travelling werewolves laying waste to the British countryside. The setting is rural little village in which the werewolves a busy claiming victims while some others hunt them for the purpose of revenge. It's a very random affair that features extremely cheesy CGI gore effects and a killer in a scarecrow mask ripped off from BATMAN BEGINS.The film's concession to classic horror fans lies in the casting of scream queen Caroline Munro in a cameo role at the opening; this is probably the best moment of the film. It's all downhill from there and the acting is quite atrocious. One scene features extensive nudity in a bid to keep the viewer's attention, but it's a forlorn hope. The stilted delivery and overacting of the cast members is probably the worst thing about this. The ludicrously unfunny dancing clip footage that accompanies the closing credits says it all.
... View MoreA 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.
... View MoreWay 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
... View MoreI watched (which seemed to take forever) the British horror-comedy, Crying Wolf. I'm still trying to find where the humor was, as well as the horror. This film was akin to having to listen to my high school alma mater's band play: 3 instruments, 20 majorettes; you figure it out. It just wasn't pretty... Perhaps if this movie would have provided sub-titles, I could have enjoyed it a little better. As it was, there were parts you couldn't hear and most of the parts you could hear were spoken with such heavy British accents, I could not understand what they were saying. The pacing was off, the acting left loads to be desired, the direction and editing were just plain bad, and the makeup was, well, juvenile. And as aside, I would love to know who thought up the idea of the character of the redneck bus driver--complete with yee-haws. He stood out like a turd in a punch bowl. Another viewer reminded people not to confuse this film with an older film entitled "Never Cry Wolf." They should have no problem figuring out which one is better. I am not going to discuss the plot because there was none. The version I saw was unrated for blood, gore, and lots of naked breasts.
