WolfCop


My last post was about 2002's Dog Soldiers and, since we're only a week away from Halloween, I decided checkout at another werewolf flick.

So, today's movie is the Canadian horror-comedy film WolfCop, which was released back in 2014. With a title like 'WolfCop' you'd probably assume this is a schlocky B-movie....and you would be correct. However, it's also a ton of fun and really entertaining. The movie stars Leo Fafard, Amy Matysio, Jonathan Cherry, Sarah Lind, and Jesse Moss. It centers around a drunken loser of a police officer named Lou Garou (played by Fafard). One night a cult kidnaps Lou and performs a ritual to turn him into a werewolf for their own nefarious purposes. Unfortunately for the cult, they underestimated Garou. Even though he transforms into a beast at night, he still retains enough intelligence to put on his uniform, grab his gun, and hit the streets as the 'WolfCop'.

If you're a fan of horror-comedies then I think that this is definitely one you should check out. It's a little uneven, but it provides just enough gore and dumb laughs to make it worthwhile. I would've liked if the movie was maybe 10 minutes or so longer, because there were a few times when it felt like it was rushing a bit. I went back and forth on whether to give this one a 2.5 or a 3. In the end I decided that, on fun-factor alone, it deserved that extra bump. 
I give WolfCop a 3 out of 5.
