Rating: 1.5/4 -- Unfortunately, another bird beside an owl comes to mind to describe this misbegotten feature: a turkey. Full Review

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... Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- To his credit, writer-director Jamie Thraves avoids the absurd twists and abrupt jolts audiences have come to expect from thrillers, instead maintaining a slow, deliberate burn. Full Review

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.
