...from writer-director Lowell Dean. Small-town sheriff's deputy Lou Garou (Leo Fafard) is a drunk and a loser, but after he gets kidnapped and subjected to an occult ritual by a band of masked cultists, he finds himself transforming into a super-strong werewolf. He uses his new-found beast power to fight crime, but the cultists aren't done with him yet.

A sort-of parody of high-concept 80's cop movies, this doesn't quite have the resources or the script to go as far as it needed to work. Not enough time is spent with the uniformed werewolf on patrol, instead devoting too much time to secondary characters and the cult's ulterior motives. At times it seems the movie starts to take itself too seriously, but then they devote a lengthy scene to the werewolf using an auto body shop to customize his police car with big metal "W" emblems and other such silliness. The cast of mostly unknowns is good, and despite its deficiencies this is better than most of the movies of similar budget level.

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.

Low-budget Canadian horror comedy about a drunken loser deputy turned into a werewolf. He uses this to his advantage Teen Wolf-style and becomes a better cop. Man, I really wanted to love this one. I saw the trailer and thought it looked like the most amazing movie ever. Unfortunately, while there are things to like about the movie, it just never reaches the potential of its concept. It's not funny at all. That isn't to say it's not worth watching. It kept my interest even if it didn't make me laugh. The retro look was nice. I appreciate the old school makeup effects rather than the shoddy CGI we see in most low-budget genre movies today. I could do without seeing werewolf dick, though. The sex scene was bizarre but probably the closest thing to a successful gag in the movie. The premise of this movie was great but the execution was a fail.

An alcoholic cop wakes up one morning feeling a little different. His senses are stronger, dogs like him and when the full moon hits, he turns into a killer werewolf. A killer werewolf with a sense of duty to uphold. He becomes the WolfCop.

A low budget Canadian horror comedy flick in the style of Hobo With A Shotgun. While Hobo was decent, I felt a little underwhelmed with it. It was a little too serious for a low budget grindhouse flick that was suppose to emulate the 70's and 80's of cheesy horror. WolfCop seems like the type of film that would fill those needs and for the most part it does. With a modest budget of a million dollars, Lowell Dean manages to make the film look and feel like it belongs with those 70's and 80's flicks you'd find at the bottom of a dollar bin at Wal-Mart. If the film was too crisp and smooth, it wouldn't fit the atmosphere.

Dean tries his best to blend horror and comedy, a lot of the jokes fall flat, but there is just enough in there to make it entertaining. The execution was never going to be able to match the concept. I wanted more of the WolfCop on duty, foiling one robbery and crashing one drug op wasn't enough for me.

The monster effects are decent and there is a bit of comical gore to be had. I couldn't help but laugh at the faceless screaming man. For those wondering if a WolfCop can have sex with a human...he sure can. In a late night Baby Blue 2 on CityTV kind of way.

The theatre wasn't packed, but the audience who was in attendance seemed to enjoy themselves. This film does not take itself seriously, which is a good thing. I hope the film manages to find a cult following and if the ending of the film holds true, we will see a sequel sometime soon. Until then, enjoy the "it's so bad, it's good" nature of WolfCop.

As someone who enjoyed the wonderful b-level horror and action films of the glorious heydays of the 80s and 90s, I was rather looking forward to this werewolf themed cop film. First, it should be noted this movie was (sort of) crowdfunded... Cineplex is the main theatre chain in Canada, and they offered an online contest for amateur filmmakers to submit a short trailer. The prize? A million dollar budget and theatrical distribution (limited. I only found a screening in downtown Toronto).

The million dollars is certainly on the screen. The FX are pretty good. Like gore? Like monster FX? You'll get your fix. But the rest of this movie stunk. It stinks! Just awful, putrid filmmaking. The fact that this film was the winner of this contest is borderline infuriating. Were there not better plots/films to pick from? Who knows, but I mean gawd... I recognized Jonathan Cherry from that other piece of dreck House of the Dead. Okay actor, but man he gets stuck in bad films. Leo Fafard is the lead, he deserves better than this. I mean, for Christ's sake his character's name is Lou Garou. That a pun, because in francais, loup garoup means werewolf. GET IT! Such is the "genius" comedic writing of this film, which strives to be funny and action packed. It's just lame. There's a better film from the 90s with the exact same plot called Full Eclipse. Watch that one instead. This was weak sauce.

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.

The premise seemed plausible but the execution was terrible. I imagine the glowing reviews were submitted by friends and family of the filmmaker and or cast. This is not witty although the low production values are reminiscent of SCTV et al sans the talent of comedic geniuses. It is not even comparable to Troma's vulgar campiness and hilarity. All the jokes fall flat and seem to be written from an elementary school level perspective but the soft nudity and implied "gore"(not realistic) definitely aren't G-rated-if they were going for Teen Wolf style comedy they failed by including the adult themes. "B"flick? more like C-.

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 :)

As a series of strange and violent events start happening, an alcoholic policeman (Leo Fafard) realizes that he has been turned into a werewolf as part of a larger plan, so he investigates with the help of his partner and his friend.

Bloody Disgusting gave WolfCop a positive review and stated, "A perfect storm of creature action, the occult, gore, intrigue, humor, and lycanthropic puns, WolfCop is destined for cult glory." Darn right, Bloody Disgusting. This film is hilarious, gory, and downright clever. This is the sort of thing that deserves a sequel and then another. Heck, it already ranks better than "Maniac Cop".

The film is great just for the puns alone: "the fuzz", "Dirty Hairier" and many others. The folks behind this are geniuses.

Lou Garou is a world weary drunken small town cop. He is called in on a disturbance and finds a cult. He gets knocked out and wakes up with a pentagram carved into his flesh. He has new powers and a forever five o'clock shadow. The transformation has more goo than most. The major drawback is the lead actor and the role. He is not a compelling character and the actor does not elevate it. This is a B-horror thriller. I expected more camp and more comedy. It's rather flat.

This is a boring, low-budget werewolf cop film. It's Canadian, screamingly so. It tries to be fun and funny, action-packed with some gory special effects. Too bad the film forgot about everything else! The acting, lighting, and plot is stupid. Yeah, I get it, it's not supposed to be Schindler's List… this is a Friday night, cheap monster flick with shootouts… but the terrible dialog/jokes, half-arsed plot and crap production values don't help much. Who in their right mind thought this was a great idea? There are people out there who will green light anything! That is the only explanation I can offer as to why Wolfcop exists. And that's the only scary part to the whole movie. It's so bad you'll go off movies forever. I seriously wanted to switch this off, go on YouTube and watch paint dry instead. Ugh. You can clearly see the actors have no idea what they should be doing. This film feels VERY unnatural, the attempt at making a replica of grind house flick is just that, an attempt (and failure). How horrid can a movie get? A dummy with a video camera (sign of the artist!) makes self-referential quips about werewolves to let you know it's supposed to be a real, bona fide throwback. Anyways, don't bother, I felt cheated out of my money, when all I wanted was a good time... if you can somehow see it without paying, you won't be cheated out of your dollars, but you will be cheated out of time.

Wolf Cop seems like it should be a good or at least a fun movie. The poster has a werewolf on it who is a cop, I mean how in the world can a movie about that not be worth watching on any single night of any week ever?

Well this is how.

Wolf Cop is disappointing on every single level. The effects are very bad, low level and amateurish. The transformation and horror shots are usually very close in to hide what's supposed to be going on, and all the shots are very brief with quick edits so they don't have to be very good.

The acting is also B-level at best with some really hammy characters and line delivery. But you can't really blame them because the script is obviously garbage, filled with painful plot holes really bad jokes (like dad jokes but the bad kind of dad jokes you can't even laugh at because they're so bad, they're just groan worthy).

Do yourself a favor and skip Wolf Cop.

But it wasn't

Saw the trailer seem like it could offer some fun and the movieposter looks pretty cool but no it's not it's just silly.

It's too childish for me and probably most adults but it's too graphic for the kids, in one scene when mr. WolfCop turns into a werewolf they show him turning by showing his normal human penis (albeit obviously made of plastic) peeing blood to then in front of the camera turn dark and get covered with hair when he's finally turning...

So yeah it's not for the kids either, I dunno who would like this, the jokes are just lame, if there are any jokes (hard to tell since I didn't find it funny one bit).

I dunno I think that they got an idea that doing a movie about a cop that's also a werewolf and just halfassed a script.

Best part of the movie is when the credits roll because the song that plays there is actually pretty good.

If you want a comedy with werewolves I suggest "FDR American BadAss (2012)" instead, that's also kinda silly but at least it has some jokes to back it up... For a more scary werewolf experience why not try "Wer (2013)" and give this movie a skip

Alcoholic policeman Lou Garou (Leo Fafard) is turned into a werewolf by a cult of reptilian shape-shifters who, every 32 years, must drain the blood of a lycanthrope to enhance their powers. As its rather silly title and my above synopsis suggest, WolfCop is a film that sets out to be a whole load of cheesy B-movie fun, and in that it largely succeeds. From the lead character's stupidly apt name-Lou Garou is a truncation of loup-garou, French for werewolf-to the ridiculously OTT gore effects, to the sight of the werewolf cop pimping his ride and firing a machine gun, WolfCop is one hell of a daft film. Which also makes it one hell of an entertaining film. Once Lou has experienced his first transformation (which takes place while he is taking a leak, resulting in the unforgettable sight of his penis swelling to massive proportions before bursting open in all of its hairy glory), the blood flows thick and fast, with our unfortunate lycanthropic lawman cleaning up his home town, tearing the criminals apart rather than reading them their rights (funniest moment: a guy having his face ripped clean off!). WolfCop also finds time to tick the gratuitous nudity box, Lou indulging a spot of sexy action with buxom barmaid Jessica (Sarah Lind), before a fun final showdown that sees WolfCop settling the score against the reptilian shape-shifters, with a little help from tasty female deputy Tina (Amy Matysio).

This movie has some really genuinely funny moments. It's gory and has nudity, so you could call it a party movie (depending on your definition of that of course). But it wouldn't surprise me, if you felt weird and awkward at moments. Like during the "love scene" of the movie. It's also where the nudity takes place (can't tell you if there was a body double involved though, the scene really weirded me out).

While there probably wasn't any hairball involved, some things are just out there. Depending on your sense of humor, you will either be overly delighted or a bit stunned/annoyed. This tries hard to be as funny as it can be and get much out of its simple idea. Does the title speak to you? Then maybe you'll like it. But don't set the bar too high, it probably will disappoint you

"WolfCop" was programmed at a local festival in my home country, in November of 2014, as part of a nightly horror-marathon. I was there, but fell asleep. Not due to the film being boring, mind you, but simply because it was the 7th or 8th horror film in a row for me. Half asleep, I remember the crowd cheering and laughing the entire time.

That's precisely the type of film "WolfCop" is, in fact, plain and simply a festival favorite. It has all right ingredients a jolly good crowd-pleaser requires, like gore and splatter, T&A sleaze, loud music and silly humor. There's a world of difference between watching a movie like this amidst and insanely enthusiast festival crowd, or all alone in your comfortable sofa at home. In the latter circumstances, the fun generated by the awesome sounding plot and the exhilarating opening credits quickly fades away. The plot is incoherent, the humor is infantile, and the overall daftness of the film - which is an advantage at a festival - only becomes irritating.

I still feel a lot of sympathy for "WolfCop", as well for its entire cast and crew. Writer/director Lowell Dean definitely came up with a handful of brilliantly absurd ideas, including the protagonist's name and the love-making sequence between Red Riding Hood and the wolf, and as a genre fanatic you also must respect the old-fashioned handmade effects. The werewolf transformation sequences are only so-so, but many of the kills are delightful; - with as highlight some guy's face being ripped straight off. Haven't seen that since Peter Jackson's "Braindead". I would definitely encourage everyone to watch "WolfCop", but please - PLEASE - see it with at least one other buddy. And beer, lots and lots of beer. I know I will if I ever see the sequel "Another WolfCop".
