Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

K James 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.

capone666 WolfCopIf werewolves were allowed on the force, they'd no doubt be butting heads with the K-9 unit all the time.Case in point, the lycanthropic patrolman in this horror-comedy.Small-town police sergeant Lou Garou (Leo Fafard) gets mixed up in the occult when he stumbles on a human sacrifice involving a local politician. This encounter leaves Lou with heightened senses and a hairy complexion.Still lucid while in his wolf form, Garou dons his badge and helps his partner (Amy Matysio) put an end to these otherworldly rituals intended to replenish the reptilian race (Jonathan Cherry, Sarah Lind) infesting their jurisdiction.A brazen B-movie through-and-through, this all-Canadian gore-fest utilizes its home and native land's second-rate production values and tepid acting abilities to jury-rig together a cult classic that every camp-loving Canucks can be proud of.Unfortunately, however, when wolf-cops are on-duty there is a drastic increase in unarmed cat shootings.Yellow Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca

Robert Thompson (justbob1982) Version I saw: Grimm Up North festival screeningActors: 5/10Plot/script: 4/10Photography/visual style: 5/10Music/score: 5/10Overall: 5/10WolfCop is a quintessential B-movie, romanticising an era when the A- and B-movie system still existed. I went into it hoping for something that was daft but fun. Unfortunately, what I got was far short of that.For far too much of the movie - the first 20 minutes at least - the story is played almost completely straight. Sgt Lou Garou is a stereotypical lazy cop, and his name (a pun on the French word for werewolves) is pretty much the only joke we get. It only hits its stride with his first transformation scene, followed by a hyperactive torrent of physical comedy and dog/wolf jokes. The change of pacing is so jarring that I wonder what writer/director Lowell Dean thought he was doing.The tone management is not the only thing that's shoddy, though. The special effects, beginning with the werewolf costume and continuing throughout the movie, are really poor, as is the acting from the almost entirely Canadian cast. The plot develops gaping holes, indicating a general lock of thoroughness... and worst of all, it is mostly not funny.Parody may seem easy, but it is fraught with potential pitfalls. Mocking something for being bad by making your own version that is bad just doesn't cut it. The intention here seems to be a cross between Teen Wolf and Hobo With a Shotgun, but it doesn't have a star with the charisma and comic timing of 80s Michael J Fox, and Hobo With a Shotgun... well, let's be honest, it's rubbish.I genuinely believe the intention here was pastiche rather than genuine ineptitude, but instead of making the film amusingly bad, they have ended up with a film that is just bad.

Bryan Kluger If you see the amazing cover art for this film, you'll have certain expectations on what you'll be in for, when you watch this movie. You might think this is in the same vein as the low budget SyFy picture 'Sharknado', complete with all of the cheese and terrible special effects. However, 'Wolfcop' is so much better and so much more than these never-ending monster v. monster movies that seem to be coming out with a budget under one million dollars.In fact, writer/director Lowell Dean knows exactly the type of movie he's made and he's wisely invested in the visual effects here, because while the acting and dialogue might be somewhat lacking, the story and visual effects are mostly top notch. Well, top notch for this type of film. When it comes down to the end of the day, 'Wolfcop' is just a hell of a lot of fun and packed with moments where you'll scream out "Yes" or "That was awesome."This is one of the few rare occasions where a low budget monster movie got things right. The film follows Lou (Leo Fafard), a police officer who would rather spend his time drinking and dozing off, rather than do any actual police work or investigations. When a crazy local resident calls in to say some suspicious things are going on in town, Lou is forced to investigate. As soon as Lou sees this suspicious activity with his own eyes, he awakens back at home with a pentagram carved into his stomach. Not exactly his plan to say the least.Sooner than later, Lou heals absurdly fast, starts to grow a ton of hair, and has super senses. Turns out, Lou is now a werewolf by night, which somehow makes him a better police officer and detective. Who knew that if we could turn into a werewolf, things would come much easier for us as it does Lou. With the help of his partner Tina (Amy Matysio) and a local named Willie Higgins (Jonathan Cherry), the trio set out to solve crime and make their small town of Woodhaven a safer and better place.Lou soon figures out something much bigger is at play in Woodhaven, and certain people are not who they seem. With tons of conspiracies, twists, turns, and blood, Lou must determine just what the hell is going on with his town. Lowell Dean has crafted a highly entertaining mix of 80s pop culture, grindhouse horror, and comedy with 'Wolfcop'. It never slows down and it nevertries to be something bigger than it is.There really isn't anyone you'd recognize in the cast, but they all give it a fun performance even if it borders on the cheese line often. 'Wolfcop' is one of those instant cult classics that actually lives up to its name and will be enjoyed by many genre fans for a long time.
