WolfCop (2014)

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

This came on the Horror Channel, which can be a bit hit and miss in terms of quality (they tend to focus mainly on straight-to-video 3 and 4 star stuff, with the occasional gem) and I thought I'd give it a shot and I'm glad I did.If you're into Troma's catalogue of insane B-movies, you'll love this - it's in a similar spirit of warm hearted, bonkers indie horror.I love that this was made for 1 million Canadian dollars, won by the makers in a contest. There's plenty of utterly dreadful werewolf movies made with multi million dollar Hollywood budgets, but this stretched that million and put every cent into realising the film makers' dream. The transformation scenes and other gore treats were awesome, old school effects as opposed to lazy CGI - this has the best skinless screaming dude's face since Raiders of the Lost Ark.The plot is pretty flimsy, and if you want to see a more serious Canadian werewolf movie, go watch Ginger Snaps (the sequel was great too, but the third was awful).If you want to see a wolf in a cop uniform driving around in a pimped up cop car (there's a whole car pimping montage and it's EPIC) beating up and blowing up bad guys while drinking copious amounts of alcohol and eating donuts (both seem to add to his wolfiness), you need to see this.It would have been cooler to see more wolf cop action - there's only a few ass kicking scenes and it would have been fun to have a bit more (the cheesy sex scene is kind of a waste of potential ass kicking time, but I guess the B in B-movie has always stood for boobs).In summary, lots of fun and well worth your time. Stay for the post credits scene, in which Wolf Cop sticks up for his doggy bro.P.S - do check out Ginger Snaps 1&2 for more awesome, Canadian werewolf goodies. British film Hot Fuzz is good fun for more 'whole town run by creepy cult' type action.

As a series of strange and violent events begin to occur, an alcoholic policeman realizes that he has been turned into a werewolf as part of a larger plan. Some of the worst acting, costumes, characters and effects ever put on a small or big screen plus the transformation scenes were so cheesy. (0/10)

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.

If you can't determine by the title that this was going to be a cheesy B-movie, then you need to watch more horror. Neflix kept suggesting I would like it, and I figured their algorithm should know me by now, so I gave it a go. Thank you Neflix for letting me know about this gem.I will admit I almost turned it off 15 minutes in because of the acting of Officer Lou Garou (Lougarou, in one of various translations, is werewolf in Haitian). He just wasn't tough enough, or cheesy enough to pull it off. But the actor, Leo Fafard, finally found his groove, but suddenly he had the right about of cheese with his swagger.I could see this becoming a cult classic. There were lots of quotable lines, and the blood and gore was completely over the top. When Lou turns into a werewolf, chunks of his skin falls off, as his fur pushes through. And the bathroom after his first turn and kills, is completely covered with blood and guts.Besides Lou, the other characters were just as amusing, and I need to get myself a Liquor Donut shirt!Wolfcop 2 : Breed the Wolfpack! is supposed to be in production, and I know I'll be watching the movie when it comes out. If you enjoy Werewolf puns, Cheesy B-Horror Movies with splatters of Gore, I say you'll have a Howlin' good time with WolfCop.
