Cry Wolf

Details

The teen thriller Cry Wolf, released by Optimum Home Entertainment on DVD and UMD on 27th March 2006, follows eight unsuspecting high school seniors who come face-to-face with terror and learn that nobody believes a liar... even when they're telling the truth.

Starring newcomer Owen Matthews, Lindy Booth (Dawn of the Dead, Wrong Turn) Jared Padalecki (House of Wax, TV series Supernatural) and Jon Bon Jovi, Cry Wolf is directed by Jeff Wadlow.

After one too many incidents of bad behaviour at his last school, Owen Matthews (Julian Morris) arrives at Westlake Prep - where a young woman has recently been found murdered in the dark woods near the boarding school's campus.

Owen quickly falls in with the school's unofficial "liars' club," including the beautiful and savvy Dodger (Lindy Booth) and quick-talking, short-tempered Tom (Jared Padalecki). 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, they imply the killer is planning to strike again.

The mischievous groups' descriptions of The Wolf's intended victims are based on the people they know best - each other. Only when the school's journalism teacher, Rich Walker (Jon Bon Jovi), warns the group about the kinds of predators that lurk on the internet does Owen regret sending their falsified story into cyberspace.

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.
