Summary

At an elite boarding school, a group of students play an online game inventing a serial killer called 'The Wolf' to prank classmates, claiming he is responsible for a recent local murder. The prank spirals out of control when a hooded figure matching their fabricated description begins stalking them for real, blurring the line between hoax and genuine threat.

Cry Wolf is a 2005 drama, horror and mystery film.

Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 2,151 of whom clear the calibration test. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 7,846 2000s films, not against the whole corpus. The calibrated figure is built from 181 of its IMDb reviewers. A broader pool of 188 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead.
