The premise

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.

Horror Vault's take

At an elite preparatory school, a clique of thrill-seeking students crafts an elaborate fictional serial killer to frighten their peers — complete with a name, a look, and a kill list. What begins as a darkly playful game of lies spirals into genuine terror when the invented monster's supposed victims start turning up dead for real. Cry_Wolf blurs the line between fabrication and fact, keeping both its characters and the audience guessing about who — or what — is truly hunting them. It's a sharp, wired little thriller that weaponizes the stories we tell against us.
