In the new teen thriller Cry Wolf (directed by Jeff Wadlow, released to UK cinemas on 13th January 2006), eight unsuspecting high school seniors playing a game of lies come face-to-face with terror and learn that nobody believes a liar…even when they’re telling the truth.
After arriving at Westlake Prep, where a young woman has recently been found murdered, Owen Matthews (Julian Morris) quickly falls in with the school’s unofficial “liars’ club,”. At Owen’s suggestion, his new friends decide to expand their game’s reach beyond campus, by spreading an online rumour that a serial killer called “The Wolf” committed the recent murder and is planning to strike again.
The mischievous group’s descriptions of “The Wolf’s” intended victims are based on the people they know best – each other. They soon regret posting the story, when the described “victims” suddenly start to disappear, Owen, Dodger, and Tom are no longer able to determine where the lies end and the truth begins. As someone – or something – starts hunting the players themselves, the game turns terrifyingly real. [View Teaser-Trailer]
