The Boy Who Cried Werewolf

When you're bored but don't feel like doing anything, one way to stave off a long stretch of time is to put on an innocent brainwashing movie like The Boy Who Cried Werewolf. The genre combination alone - family horror - seems unusual enough, and maybe that's why the film turned out the way it did. The music was nice and kind of slightly scary, but it lacked any suspense and (more) action, because after all, this is supposed to be a film for the whole family. The giant furry puppets as werewolves don't look the worst, but they don't look the least bit scary either. In short, a film that's predictable from start to finish, but that's not always a bad thing, especially if you're lazy to think. (05/02/2012)
