sol- Turned into a werewolf, a small town policeman with a drinking problem comes to realise that can use his wolf strength to fight crime on full moon nights in this horror-comedy filmed on location in rural Saskatchewan. The movie benefits from a pulsating electrofunk music score, some great special effects (especially as the transformation begins with the cop's private parts) and accentuated sound effects. It is also incredibly funny at times. And yet, while there are some subtle humorous touches, like a fellow cop resting his doughnut on a corpse's knee, the film only really becomes laugh-out-loud funny in its second half as the title character begins to embrace his dual identity. The embracing of the werewolf identity is fairly original concept in itself too since the cop manages to maintain control of his actions when transformed, as opposed to, say, the characters in 'An American Werewolf in London' where wolf instinct takes control. The film may have done better though without the elaborate witchcraft conspiracy that is apparently responsible for his transformation. The film it at its best when the title character is in action, stopping criminals by making them go WTF and so on. Fortunately there are enough such scenes towards the end that the film concludes on a strong note, but the whole conspiracy angle still leaves a bit of a bitter taste in the mouth.

spencergrande6 Wolfcop, by all appearances, should be one of those parody movies with no good wit, none too clever and a just a whole bunch of juvenilia thrown at the screen in spouts of random blood-letting. This is mostly not that, thank God, it's actually played mostly straight and a lot of the humor comes from character and situation and not just gags. And even the gags are earned in their sparing use -- I'm thinking the first transformation scene using his member as the first thing to transform.The practical effects are really good. Lou has a solid dry deadpan sensibility (and the amount he drinks is unholy).Too short, and a seeming lack of ideas after a while (explaining the brevity) ultimately hurt this film and hold it back from true cult status. All the good characters are killed off or revealed to be bad guys. Willie steals all his scenes ("Street name: see you in a f***in' week." while goading Wolfcop into taking horse tranqs) and the bartender Jessica are treated poorly in the end and without much regard to their overall value to the film as a whole.

capone666 WolfCopIf werewolves were allowed on the force, they'd no doubt be butting heads with the K-9 unit all the time.Case in point, the lycanthropic patrolman in this horror-comedy.Small-town police sergeant Lou Garou (Leo Fafard) gets mixed up in the occult when he stumbles on a human sacrifice involving a local politician. This encounter leaves Lou with heightened senses and a hairy complexion.Still lucid while in his wolf form, Garou dons his badge and helps his partner (Amy Matysio) put an end to these otherworldly rituals intended to replenish the reptilian race (Jonathan Cherry, Sarah Lind) infesting their jurisdiction.A brazen B-movie through-and-through, this all-Canadian gore-fest utilizes its home and native land's second-rate production values and tepid acting abilities to jury-rig together a cult classic that every camp-loving Canucks can be proud of.Unfortunately, however, when wolf-cops are on-duty there is a drastic increase in unarmed cat shootings.Yellow Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca

Bryan Kluger If you see the amazing cover art for this film, you'll have certain expectations on what you'll be in for, when you watch this movie. You might think this is in the same vein as the low budget SyFy picture 'Sharknado', complete with all of the cheese and terrible special effects. However, 'Wolfcop' is so much better and so much more than these never-ending monster v. monster movies that seem to be coming out with a budget under one million dollars.In fact, writer/director Lowell Dean knows exactly the type of movie he's made and he's wisely invested in the visual effects here, because while the acting and dialogue might be somewhat lacking, the story and visual effects are mostly top notch. Well, top notch for this type of film. When it comes down to the end of the day, 'Wolfcop' is just a hell of a lot of fun and packed with moments where you'll scream out "Yes" or "That was awesome."This is one of the few rare occasions where a low budget monster movie got things right. The film follows Lou (Leo Fafard), a police officer who would rather spend his time drinking and dozing off, rather than do any actual police work or investigations. When a crazy local resident calls in to say some suspicious things are going on in town, Lou is forced to investigate. As soon as Lou sees this suspicious activity with his own eyes, he awakens back at home with a pentagram carved into his stomach. Not exactly his plan to say the least.Sooner than later, Lou heals absurdly fast, starts to grow a ton of hair, and has super senses. Turns out, Lou is now a werewolf by night, which somehow makes him a better police officer and detective. Who knew that if we could turn into a werewolf, things would come much easier for us as it does Lou. With the help of his partner Tina (Amy Matysio) and a local named Willie Higgins (Jonathan Cherry), the trio set out to solve crime and make their small town of Woodhaven a safer and better place.Lou soon figures out something much bigger is at play in Woodhaven, and certain people are not who they seem. With tons of conspiracies, twists, turns, and blood, Lou must determine just what the hell is going on with his town. Lowell Dean has crafted a highly entertaining mix of 80s pop culture, grindhouse horror, and comedy with 'Wolfcop'. It never slows down and it nevertries to be something bigger than it is.There really isn't anyone you'd recognize in the cast, but they all give it a fun performance even if it borders on the cheese line often. 'Wolfcop' is one of those instant cult classics that actually lives up to its name and will be enjoyed by many genre fans for a long time.
