Cry Terror!

In a tense, claustrophobic world where ordinary lives collide with a terrifying unknown, a single phone call shatters the calm of a bustling city. The echo of an imminent threat spreads through airline terminals and high‑rise apartments, turning everyday routines into a pulse‑quickening race against an unseen deadline. The film’s atmosphere is drenched in nervous anticipation, the kind of suspense that makes every hallway feel like a corridor of secrets and every shadow a potential danger.

At the heart of the crisis stands Paul Hoplin, a calculating mastermind whose meticulous plans hide a volatile obsession with control. He targets the unsuspecting family of a brilliant electronics specialist, Jim Molner, whose work unintentionally becomes the focal point of the danger. Opposite him, Joan Molner strives to protect her young daughter, Patty Molner, while grappling with the sudden collapse of the ordinary world she once knew. Their dynamic—rooted in love, fear, and resilience—offers a human counterpoint to the cold precision of the antagonist’s scheme.

As the pressure mounts, federal agents converge on the situation, turning the city’s streets and subways into a sprawling chessboard of tension. The interplay between the relentless pursuit of the authorities and the desperate attempts of the family to stay one step ahead fuels a relentless, edge‑of‑the‑seat mood. Every phone ring, every whispered conversation, and every fleeting glimpse of movement hints at a larger confrontation, leaving the audience breathless as they wonder how far the characters will be pushed before the inevitable showdown arrives.
