Unfortunately, another bird beside an owl comes to mind to describe this misbegotten feature: a turkey.

Toronto Star
Rating: 2/4 --
The Cry of the Owl, much like Highsmith's virtually unreadable book, is saddled with an absolutely ludicrous premise that proves an immediate detriment to one's enjoyment of the film...

Rating: 2.5/5 --
Overall, it's the kind of technically proficient, deliberately paced, grim sleepwalk that leaves one cold rather than cracked open.

Product Description:
Another novel by Patricia Highsmith (THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY) thrills onscreen with this adaptation starring Julia Stiles and Paddy Considine. Fleeing a failed marriage in the big city, Robert is a newcomer to a small town who finds his time consumed with secretly watching a woman named Jenny. When he finally meets her, they begin a relationship, despite the fact that she has a boyfriend. When Jenny's boyfriend goes missing, Robert becomes a suspect, but his disappearance may be more of a frame-up than a murder.
