Pluskylang Great Film overall

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Uriah43 This movie begins with an unnamed "Private Detective" (played by Gary Martin) going into a bookstore and asking the "Shopkeeper" (Caroline Munroe) how much a certain book would cost. Although she tells him that it isn't for sale he persists and eventually emerges from the bookstore with it. He then ventures into a nearby pub and after ordering a pint of brown ale begins to read the book in its entirety. What he reads is transmitted to the audience in film. Unfortunately, although the movie is unmistakably British, the viewer should be warned that this clearly bears no resemblance to Shakespeare. Quite frankly, this movie is awful. There's just no other way to describe it. The acting was second-rate, the special effects consisted of people running around in werewolf costumes most typically reserved for Halloween and the humor was almost painful. As a matter of fact, about the only thing going for this movie was the presence of a few fairly attractive actresses in Rosie Pearson (as "Emma"), Kimberly Jaraj ("Kim") and Gabriella Hersham (as "Milly"). But that's it. I wish it were otherwise.

shawnblackman A horror comedy that has folks in England running for the pubs as werewolves run rampant. An investigator acquires a book with the wolf legends in it. He reads this in a pub while we visually see what he reads. This one misses the mark on every level and has no bite at all.It has that Saturday afternoon TV show kind of feel. The special effects are 90% CGI and 10% costumes. The only thing missing in this was Eric Roberts.After you watch this you just want to punch who ever was involved in making this film for exposing you to it. There could be health risks. Skip it.

Rainey Dawn Way to bad the film is not nearly as good as the box cover for the DVD... it's a beautiful werewolf DVD cover but a terrible film. It's a very lame attempt at comedy horror. Way to lame with it's cutesy music, stupid pranks and a werewolf mask you can find at the nearest dollar store around Halloween.Lots of fake blood being throw around on screen as if that is suppose to be scary. Bad acting - horrible. And a story that will bore you to sleep instead of getting a few thrills and laughs out of you. This is a waste of perfectly good film and time it takes to watch this mess. Don't bother wasting your time. I am a fan of werewolves but this is just an insult to werewolf fans.1/10

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.
