Going into this movie you generally have a pretty good idea of what is going to happen. You have rich, spoiled brats with too much time on their hands that go to a private school and get in trouble with a killer.
Yawn. To be truthful, this one did have a few good twists and turns in it that kept you guessing at who was doing what to whom. And instead of the traditional slasher movie, you get a film about love, hate, betrayal and get to see how instant messaging can be used to raise the level of suspense and will probably be used in real life schools within a week. Or sooner.
While parts of the film are predictable something will happen that makes you stop and think for a moment. You know something is going on under the main plot, but you are not sure what it is.
While the film is loosely based on the fable of the "Boy Who Cried Wolf," this modern version has beautiful people who actually do a pretty good job as the characters they are supposed to be.
Lindy Booth as Dodger showed a lot more then I expected from a character and a film like this. She was the stand out performer even though the rest of the cast did an excellent job. Even Bon Jovi turned in a pretty good performance.
It is a surprisingly well-done film, with good direction and a nice atmosphere. Starting off with a murder and moving into the urban legend mythology, the students at an exclusive school play a game. The object is lie, and to frighten others, so they use the murder to create "The Wolf", a mythical slasher who always starts his spree with the murder of a 'townie'.
By not using excessive gore and blood, they avoided an "R" rating, but I don't think the gore and blood is what was supposed to frighten the viewer. I think it is the human psyche and its ability to lie convincingly to those who trust us and even love us.
Our own dark nature is far more frightening then anything Hollywood can come up with.
