WolfCop
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'll tell you why so serious
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
SPOILER: B-Movie horror masterpiece. It tells the tale of an alcoholic cop named Leo, and one night out investigating some pesky teenagers partying out in the woods, stumbles upon an occult like setup, gets banged over the head, wakes up in the morning with quite a hangover, and a pentagram carved into his chest. I know, this could happen to anyone, but this also turns him into a werewolf!! But don't worry, he's still one of the good guys, when trouble arises that werewolf puts on his police uniform and does his duty as Wolfcop!! And as he investigates how this happened, the truth is out there, and its so much bigger than he thought possible!! Filled with humor, awesome B-movie gore, and beastiality, its a feast for your senses! And the best part, theres a part 2 out there... Filmbufftim on FB.
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.
This viewer was surprised to realize how much he enjoyed "Wolfcop". It's a modern horror comedy that manages to not completely skimp on the horror, and to deliver some genuinely funny moments. The cast is game, the pacing more than adequate (this clocks in at an appreciably brief 80 minutes), the gore is well done, and the makeup effects do look to be mostly practically done.Leo Fafard plays officer Lou Garou (the name itself is an in-joke, as "loup-garou" is the French term for werewolf), a hopeless drunk and pretty inept cop in small town Canada. ("Wolfcop" was filmed on location in Regina and Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.) One night, while reluctantly checking out a disturbance, *somebody* gets the drop on him. Soon, he discovers that he's acquired a tendency to sprout excess body hair, fangs, and claws. The unlikely result is that this impels him to take his job more seriously than he has in a long time.Fafard shows a fine comic ability in the lead. He's well supported by sexy ladies Amy Matysio (as the towns' top cop Tina) & Sarah Lind (as the sultry, dubious Jessica), Corinne Conley (as the incumbent mayor), Jesse Moss (as a criminal mastermind), Jonathan Cherry (a comedic standout as Lous' sidekick Willie), and Aidan Devine as Lous' boss, Sheriff Ray.Silly and proud of it, "Wolfcop" may not appeal to all tastes, but it was engaging, amusing, and lively, and was impossible for this viewer to dislike. It *would* be nice if it could develop into a franchise (a sequel is advertised before the closing credits).Seven out of 10.
Ughhhh!! There must be some pretty desperate viewers (Well, Saskatchewan as the source local for most everyone involved goes a long ways to explain my despair over script, acting, props, prosthetics.) Fantasy can have it's own reality in the viewer's mind but tossing out junk that makes no sense like this film does strains credulity to no end. 1. Several hundred year old Satanist style peoples that can instantly (and I mean instantly) change from one sex to another or from really young to really old. Some trick - I'll have what ever they're having! Why do these stories always take place in some out- of-the- way hole-in-the-wall? If I had those powers I wouldn't be stuck in remote Saskatchewan. 2. Wolfman, who almost instantly sheds/peels off his human skin (just leaves it hanging lose on the ground) to show a wolf growing inside then just as quickly (when the Moon is just right), suddenly has the human skin and all functional muscles, organs in perfect original order. 3. Some how,as a wolf, he still likes booze and can talk. Sure! 4. Acting, dialogue just as sparse as the storyline. Most actors have TV series, shorts and movies no one has ever heard of as the sum total of their acting resumes. Not to disparage honest work to pay the bills but lets not overstate the hyperbole. 5. Obviously cheap to make so there must be a sequel coming up to brighten the cabin fever; Cheetos; beer.
