Crying Wolf 3D

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.

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 recently watched the UK film 🇬🇧 Crying Wolf (2015) on Tubi. The storyline revolves around a small English town that falls victim to a series of gruesome killings. As a werewolf hunter, detective, and reporters arrive in town to investigate, they find themselves in a deadly game of cat and mouse with the unknown killer. Directed by Tony Jopia (Cute Little Buggers), the film features Caroline Munroe (Maniac), Gary Martin (Little Shop of Horrors), Chloe Farnworth (MaXXXine), Hugh Edwards (Expend4bles), and Ian Donnelly (Casualty). This film is a frustrating mix of mostly poor elements with occasional flashes of greatness that leave you wondering why it falls short. The narration feels cheesy, and the protagonist's voice becomes grating over time. The acting and dialogue are generally subpar, and the werewolf costumes are disappointingly amateurish. The transformation scenes rely too heavily on CGI, and the use of eye contacts feels contrived. However, the film's old-school reliance on shadows, along with its well-executed kill scenes and corpses, surprisingly elevate certain moments. Additionally, the nudity is worthwhile. In conclusion, Crying Wolf is a bad movie with sporadic moments of enjoyment for fans of atrocious horror films. I would score this a 3/10 and recommend it only with the appropriate expectations.

Ok so the first time i watched this i got 20 minutes in (I think I was expecting something different)... then about a week later I put it on again and actually really enjoyed it... it's a terrible film if you are expecting perfection but if you can appreciate it for comedic entertainment with over the top blood... ridiculous acting and an awesome shootout then you will enjoy it... helps if you are a little tipsy also

Following a spate of strange animal attacks, a reporter begins looking into the disappearance of several locals and finds a story about a pack of werewolves hunting victims in the town until one of their hunts brings a werewolf hunter along looking for revenge against the pack. Overall, this one was a decent enough and enjoyable genre effort. One of the better features here is the intriguing setup that offers a fine way for everything to play out. Being the retold ramblings of an investigator looking over the book from the local shop and seeing how everything comes together from that point, there's a fun back-and-forth narrative here that has a lot to like. This main story being told in flashback as a hunting trip organized by the group to solidify their relationships with each other and take in the strange girls along the way. Given a wide range of interconnecting storylines about the nature of everyone's relationship with everyone else and some twist reveals to spice it up, there's some fun to be had with this one. As well, there's also a lot to like here with the enjoyable creature attacks. Starting off with the brief ambush attacks of the creatures taking out villagers in random, gruesome attacks, the build-up to bugger, and more vicious encounters with the various creatures coming through and grabbing unwary victims. The big finale, where the multiple werewolves attack the girls along for the trip and attack themselves with the reveals about the driver and his friends' true reason for being there turns into a hyper-violent and over-the-top battle with the creatures which is quite a lot of fun featuring cheesy gore, some decent stunt-work, and even a few jokes along the way. All combined with a solid, imposing look for the practical werewolf effects, there's a lot to like here for the most part. There are a few issues to be found here. The main issue on display with this one is the seemingly random inserts included in the story for no real reason. The film's setup about the reporter reading the incident from an ancient book makes it seem unlikely that a modern story would be included, much less one that includes various flashbacks to secondary stories within this main feature. As well, there are also the jarring tonal shifts that come about due to these inclusions, offering a goofy slapstick comedy vibe that seems at odds with the other horror action present. The only other flaw here is the highly obvious low-budget CGI which ranges from everything including excess bloodsplatter on gushing wounds or aftermath, physical interactions with more werewolves off-screen, or fleshing out some of the more spectacular ideas to be had within this one and feels quite underwhelming. Otherwise, there isn't much to hold this one back. Rated Unrated/R Extreme Graphic Language, Graphic Violence, and Nudity.

Pandemonium ensues in the heretofore sleepy town of Deddington after a local girl gets killed by a werewolf. Directed with considerable aplomb by Tony Japia, with a groovy James Bond-style opening credits sequence, an amusing array of colorful and quirky characters, gnarly werewolves, an often uproarious sense of zany humor, oodles of outrageously excessive gore, and a satisfying smattering of tasty bare female skin, this honey overall rates as a whole lot of wild fun. Moreover, it's acted with zest by an enthusiastic no-name cast, with especially lively contributions from Gabriella Alexandra as the snarky Millie, Kristofer Dayne as the angry Andy, Rosie Pearson as the perky Emma, Kimberly Jaraij as the sassy Kim, Marco Radice as rough'n'tumble monster hunter Rickie Hellsong, and Ian Donnelly as the dorky Mark. Caroline Munro has a spirited cameo as a fiery shopkeeper. A total hoot.

The special effects are the worst I have seen in a long time. Could be the worst looking werewolves I have ever seen in a movie. And the acting was just as bad. I can't believe I watched the whole movie. I don't know how some people rated this anywhere above a 3 at best. I highly recommend using your time more wisely.

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.

Dreadful acting, dreadful dialogue, dreadful cgi, dreadful movie. You could probably find a better werewolf costume in Asda. I gave up after hearing one of the pack burp after devouring their victim. Poor effects and lots of obviously painted over film blood splatter. If I could have rated 0/10 I would have.
