The decision to make a serious teenage slasher film, post Scream, is a very brave move, without having the film descend into farce. However, Cry Wolf has more going for it than just a slasher tag.

Coupled with quite a genius script, it doesn't matter that it isn't, actually, very scary, or horrific, or even full of blood & gore. But what it will do will keep you watching just to find out what is going to happen next.

The slightly unimaginative plot outline doesn't do the film justice. The amount of twists & turns the storyline takes will always keep you guessing.

And although not full of horror, there are some genuinely clever moments. A halloween party where everyone dresses up like the description of the serial killer, but we know that the real killer is in there somewhere, is a tense & thrilling scene. Mobile phones & email alerts are used to great effect to keep us on the edge of our seats. In particular, a rather creepy moment involving a video phone call in a bathroom...

So although not brilliant, it is well worth the time, & therefore it's quite dissappointing that not all of the teenage performances are up to the same level as Jon Bon Jovi - a solid performance from the rock star, who really keeps the film grounded & realistic.
