Synopsis

There are a lot of strange and weird goings on in the little village of Deddington. For centuries a pack of werewolves has resided in the sleepy town, but when local girl Charlotte meets a particularly gruesome death, the town is descended upon by reporters, crazy detectives and lunatic hunters desperate to get their story, solve the crime and kill the beasts. But these wolves are smart… very smart.

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Leofwine_draca CRYING 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.
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.
dcarsonhagy I 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.
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.
