Critic Reviews for Cry Terror

All Critics (2) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (1)

[A] crisp, tightly plotted suspense thriller. It was written, directed and co-produced by the versatile Andrew L. Stone, who knows how to combine tension and plausibility.

Clyde Gilmour
Maclean's Magazine
An ill-conceived attempt at making a realistic thriller about a mad bomber extorting money in a terrorist plot.

Audience Reviews for Cry Terror

Dec 27, 2010

Quality suspenser with James Mason and Inger Stevens the parents of a kidnapped child held for ransom. Taut scripting and direction and excellent performances from the all but particularly Inger make this very involving. Angie is a hissable villianess to bad she didn't get to play that aspect more.
