There is a reason Cry_Wolf keeps coming up in conversation. Cry_Wolf takes its time building the world its characters inhabit, and the patience pays off. After a local woman is murdered, a group of teenage liars create a warning e-mail of a serial killer named “The Wolf”, coming on the next full moon. The teens describe each death method The Wolf uses, but when the described victims actually do start turning up dead, suddenly no one knows where the lies end and the truth begins. Julian Morris and Lindy Booth lead a cast that treats the material with real seriousness. It hit screens in 2005. What elevates Cry_Wolf is a refusal to let any character off the hook too easily. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Cry_Wolf is what you recommend to people who say they do not really watch much. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Julian Morris's work here is the kind that gets referenced in career retrospectives. It makes everything else feel thin by comparison.
