Featured reviews
This isn't necessarily a "good" movie but it's fun and gory and sometimes that's a good thing. In my opinion it's better than the score on IMDB would have you believe but again it depends on your taste, but that's true with all movies really.
This film is much better than it has any right to be. Made with a modest budget but a loving touch, WolfCop knows to embrace its cheesiness and that of its drive-in schlock predecessors and play to its strengths without taking itself too seriously. Whenever it falls flat, it feels more endearing than broken, which I suppose is due to the makers actually caring about what they were filming, and I'll take a lovingly crafted low-budget slopfest over an a-list blockbuster that wasn't given a single rat's behind by it's authors.
With that being said, there isn't really anything that stands out as exceptionally good. Although the fun had while filming is apparent and the enthusiasm of the effects department (if such can be said to have existed here) shines through, nothing can be graded more than "pretty good, considering". On the flip side of things, I couldn't find anything really horrible here either, as WolfCop is adept at covering its tracks (pun intended).
Booming with b-movie grit and outrageously strange choices of plot elements, WolfCop is a must watch for fans of "so bad it's good" – films and those interested in amateur films. Other viewers might need to take this movie with a grain of salt. And quite some alcohol.

As a series of strange and violent events start happening, an alcoholic policeman (Leo Fafard) realizes that he has been turned into a werewolf as part of a larger plan, so he investigates with the help of his partner and his friend.
Bloody Disgusting gave WolfCop a positive review and stated, "A perfect storm of creature action, the occult, gore, intrigue, humor, and lycanthropic puns, WolfCop is destined for cult glory." Darn right, Bloody Disgusting. This film is hilarious, gory, and downright clever. This is the sort of thing that deserves a sequel and then another. Heck, it already ranks better than "Maniac Cop".
The film is great just for the puns alone: "the fuzz", "Dirty Hairier" and many others. The folks behind this are geniuses.

Low-budget Canadian horror comedy about a drunken loser deputy turned into a werewolf. He uses this to his advantage Teen Wolf-style and becomes a better cop. Man, I really wanted to love this one. I saw the trailer and thought it looked like the most amazing movie ever. Unfortunately, while there are things to like about the movie, it just never reaches the potential of its concept. It's not funny at all. That isn't to say it's not worth watching. It kept my interest even if it didn't make me laugh. The retro look was nice. I appreciate the old school makeup effects rather than the shoddy CGI we see in most low-budget genre movies today. I could do without seeing werewolf dick, though. The sex scene was bizarre but probably the closest thing to a successful gag in the movie. The premise of this movie was great but the execution was a fail.
The film is a low budget campy completely non serious Canadian movie about a cop turned into a werewolf so that his blood can be harvested by shape shifters. It reminded me of Trolls 2, with the same kind of non existent acting, yet strong impact. Nilbog sounds worse than Flowerew, anyway, doesn't it?
There is little point in talking about the plot, as there is none. The script itself leaves much to be desired. So why did I feel like I had fun watching it, despite its many flaws? Probably because it was clear that the film did not take itself seriously. There are many ways one can try to sell the idea of a werewolf cop other than a hairy beast dressed in police uniform and driving a pimped police cruiser with a big W on it. The gore itself, even if a lot, looks more like "Woo hoo, we did gore in our film and it looks kind of real!". Instead of scary, it makes you root for the success of the movie.
Bottom line: really B, in all respects, and probably enjoyable to a select few. However, I am among this shape shifting elite, running the world from the shadows and liking stuff like this :)
