[Please let me know if I need to move this somewhere else or something, okay? ^^]
Hi. ^^ I've decided to do this new movie rating thing. [Hope it's okay. ^^;] See, I'm a HUGE fan of watching movies and not just ones in the theatres [because most of the time I don't have the money. sweatdrop ]. So, I've decided to pick a random movie or two, depending on the time, and create a board for them, talking about the pros and cons of the movie. I may even do anime shows, too. ^^
Today's movie is: Cry_Wolf
Rating: PG-13 for Violence, Terror, Disturbing Images, Language, Sexuality and a Brief Drug Reference.
Overall Rating: An okay 3 ouf of 5.
The Story: Cry_Wolf is about a couple of teenagers at a private school who decide to play a trick on the entire school. At the beginning of the movie, one of their classmates is shot in the head by an unknown killer. Owen, the leading male, is just transferred to the school from somewhere in England [I don't think they actually say]. He meets this girl on his first day, Dodger is her name, and she invites him to a lying game her and her friends play in the middle of the night.
Eventually, the two of them decide to play this 'game' with the whole school and send out an email about this serial killer called 'The Wolf'. He's dressed in an orange ski mask, a camo jacket and carries around a hunting knife. He starts off killing someone by shooting them in the head and then has a series of ways he kills his victims thereafter. Owen and Dodger forward the email to the whole school and, sure enough, people start getting scared.
To not give everything away, it turns out, they were all playing a joke on each other. I won't tell the ending, just in case anyone wants to see the movie.
My critique: Okay, personally, I thought it sucked. The movie had it's high points, but not enough to freak me out. They showed a WHOLE lot of blood and violence that I thought was a lot for being PG-13. If you're squemish about blood, don't see this.
The ending was a completly idiotic. They've got you thinking the entire time that one thing is going to happen and then the next thing you know, it's the complete opposite.
I'm glad I rented it for free at my library rather than spending money to rent it from Blockbuster or saw it in the theatres. If you want to see this movie, I won't stop you. However, if you want something more freaky, go see The Ring or White Noise...or The Hills Have Eyes.
