WolfCop

WOLFCOP is a straightforward B-flick about a cop who turns into a werewolf. There's no more to it or less to it than that. It's very much in the spirit of the MACHETE films, albeit with a lower budget, in that it goes for a whole retro/non-serious vibe and just about gets by on goodwill alone.

The low budget is often apparent during this production, so the scriptwriter goes for a jokey tone throughout to make things easier to watch. The acting isn't very good, but the quality of the special effects is a real surprise; they actually turn out to be very good indeed, with some excruciating werewolf transformations that work well. The titular fiend looks rather cheesy but then that's the point.

Otherwise, the film is chock-full of grindhouse-style violence and some jumbled plotting. It's an amiable time-waster although those looking for genuine originality or insight will be disappointed; WOLFCOP is a film that offers nothing new for fans and instead is happy to go through the usual and expected motions.

Exactly what it says on the tin. I knew what I was buying, you can guess what its about from the cover. And it delivers. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

A whole lot of fun, and more. Watch it whilst drinking bourbon. I thought the gags were great, the setting was lovely.

Mad as a box of frogs, just what I needed.

I love ' B ' horror films, they are a wicked crack. As this tops my list ! HAAAROOOOOOOOO ! ! ! ! !

I love films like this they are great fun, you don't need to take them seriously whatsoever, just sit back and enjoy, and have a good old giggle.

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.

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 :)

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.
