marieflb It's been a long time since I first watched it and tonight I saw it again and I just have to say I love it. It's not the typical teen slasher film nor the typical horror movie. What's also great it's that the director made it after he won $1,000,000 at the 2002 Chrysler Million Dollar Film Festival... It's a shame this movie is so underrated and actually I'm just reviewing so I can give it a 10 points score. The ending is also great but I won't give it away, you'll be surprised. This movie is an example of how good a teen slasher-suspense movie can be as apposed to the crap we've (horror fans) been getting lately, not saying everything's bad but you know what I mean.Go watch it, you won't be disappointed.
Regina Sanchez Awful is a pertinent description for this movie. A group of spoiled private high school students reside at a posh boarding school where apparently every student is constantly alone in the dark huge stone structures of the campus, whether it be the dorms, library, or showers (and, of course the showers). All characters lack empathy or any semblance of common sense. As the "drama" unfolds as one practical joke or misunderstanding after another (none of which are surprising or even slightly imaginative), this stinker plods along with extreme overacting and a plot line that seems to have been made up as they went along. I'm bot sure what category a movie like this belongs in, but it certainly belongs in the waste bin. Does anyone watch these movies before they are released?
atinder This was another re-watch, I not seen for some times and I remember really like it back them.After seeing again, after some years, I still felt the same.I liked this movie, it was bit like April fools days, with number of Teens get together and start a rumour about the Wolf Who as killed a girl. The story they made about them self being killed by the wolf end up coming true. Some of pranks were very funny to watch before the killing start! There few twist and turns in the story, When I first saw I didn't she that twist coming at all. 6/10
Jackson Booth-Millard We all know the story of the boy who cried "wolf", called it once - people ran out scared - it was joke, same thing a second time, and the third time it was real - no people - he was killed, well that is the concept borrowed for this horror film attempt. Basically a local girl that attended Westlake Prepratory Academy has been murdered in the woods, and new arrival to the school Owen Matthews (Julian Morris) is new to the information. After making friends quite quickly, including senior student Dodger (Lindy Booth), he connects with them in a game of "wolf" where one person is marked as the wolf, i.e. the liar, and one by one the suspected liar is eliminated until the real one is revealed. Anyway, Owen and Dodger decide to play a much bigger version of this game in order to catch the killer of the local girl, by setting up a warning internet message with killer details and victim information, that quickly spreads throughout the school. It starts off as a harmless joke that no-one is questioning, but the smiles are soon wiped when people look like they are truly getting to bite it, and there is no distinction between lies and the truth. In the end, what also turns out to be a big joke with all eight "friends" backfires on Owen, he is arrested for killing a man that only seemed mad, and Owen reveals Dodger's true colours. Also starring Jared Padalecki as Tom, Kristy Wu as Regina, Sandra McCoy as Mercedes, Paul James as Lewis, Jon Bon Jovi as Rich Walker, Jesse Janzen as Randall, Gary Cole as Mr. Matthews and Anna Deavere Smith as Headmaster Tinsley. If this film was a bit easier to understand, if there is was any good gore, and if the story was a bit more substantial, I might give it a more positive review, but I can't because none of this is the case, a bearable but disappointing horror thriller. Okay!
