It's not unusual for alcoholic cop Lou to black out and wake up in unfamiliar surroundings, but lately things have taken a turn for the strange...and hairy. WolfCop is the story of one cop's quest to become a better man. One transformation at a time.

I would've been pleased to give Wolf Cop a 10/10 for the action-packed, pun-drenched, plot-twisting journey it took me on if not for the poor taste of a few jokes along the way. Some things are not funny anymore, and Wolf Cop's producers should've thought twice about including them in the final cut.For what it was, however, Wolf Cop was enjoyable and worthwhile. Despite attempting to have my reservations, I'm greatly looking forward to seeing the sequel. 7/10 stars, and I would watch it again.

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.

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.

Does what it says on the tin. Directed and written by Lowell Dean this Canadian Horror Comedy is a bit of a random low budget gem. It excels in not taking itself too seriously and delivers a movie which feels very 1980's. Teen-Wolf this is not, it's more a slapstick horror flick done on a shoestring which occasionally hits the funny bone but sometimes falls flat on its face. In fact as you progress with the film it's more akin to 'Trolls 2' with shape shifters and "flowerew's" ;)Leo Fafard is a an alcohol soaked cop in a small dead end town. One day he awakes from his drunken slumber and feels different, his senses are sharper, he is hairier, dogs are attracted to him and other wildlife flees… he's a werewolf, a werewolf cop. Follow Wolfcop as he beats the side-walk. His new found powers and abilities come in really useful but how exactly did he become a wolfcop and what is going to be his fate when the townsfolk discover his secret. Will the fuzz get the bad guys or will dirtier Harry find a grizzly demise? Watch and find out. I'm giving this 6 out of 10 because it had a lot of potential but didn't fully deliver. I enjoyed it but there were times when the pace of the film dragged a little and I was waiting for something fun to happen, saying that though, when it was fun it was really fun.
