ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made
FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Mark Turner Years ago I was at a small horror fan convention called Cinema Wasteland (a con that I will always sing praises for and have attended numerous times since) and saw a movie made by a company called Low Budget Pictures. True to their name the movie was incredibly low budget, disgusting on several levels and poorly made. All that being said the crowd turned the movie into a fun event while watching it. It was like a Troma movie but on a smaller budget and grosser if that's possible. But low budget films have been a staple for some time now with some being creative, inventive and amazing while others were, well, Low Budget Pictures. So how does the low budget film WOLF COP fare?In the small town of Woodhaven, police officer Lou Garou (Leo Fafard) spends most of his time drunk or sitting at the local bar. His friend Willie Higgins (Jonathan Cherry) calls him to report occult activity at his gun story but ignores him. When he calls again the chief tells him to investigate. He arrives to find an occult group sacrificing a local politician who was promoting investigating corruption. Knocked unconscious he wakes the next day with no idea of what happened and a pentagram carved into his chest. Suddenly Garou seems to become super cop. He has heightened senses and can smell things no one else can, see clearer and becomes stronger. That night when he goes to the bar again while in the bathroom he begins to feel differently. Unfortunately for them at the same time of a local gang are terrorizing the barmaid Jessica (Sarah Lind) and enter the bathroom to confront Garou. Except that he has changed into a werewolf in uniform. Taking apart the gang , one escapes to report back to his boss. Garou once more es out only to wake and find himself handcuffed to his friend Willie's bed. Willie lets him know that he's become a werewolf now.The next day Garou and his partner Sgt. Tina (Amy Matysio) are assigned the investigation of the slaughter at the bar. They're also given the job of investigating a series of robberies taking place by thieves wearing pig masks. That night Garou takes a call for help at a local supermarket and changes into his werewolf form before he can go. Retaining his human intelligence this time he arrives and takes on the robbers in gory detail. Thinking the only safe thing for him to do is lock himself up, Willie puts him in a cell. While there Jessica arrives, disrobes and while in wolf form the pair have sex. She knows his secret.Yes, something else is going on that Garou and his partner are unaware of. It all comes to a head in the final part of the film which I won't reveal here. Better those that enjoy movies like this still have something to look forward to.So let's start with the bad. The film is definitely low budget. Not in the worst way possible (think moving cardboard headstones in PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE) but it shows. The acting isn't bad but still leaves something to be desired. The story has plenty of holes in it but hey, who cares? This is exploitation movie making at its best.The good is the movie. It never takes itself seriously and that shows. The gore effects are over the top with flying heads and blood spewing forth in abundance, something all good gorehounds love in their films. That bad acting? It doesn't matter. It's able and that's a step up for movies like this. Especially endearing is Willie. The end result is a movie that's more fun than serious, to be taken for what it is which is a low budget film that has heart, a creative endeavor that pays off in some ways and falls short in others. Fans of the film will most likely hoot and howl (get it?) while watching the film. It will draw attention and become a movie to put on while drinking for most and could never possibly yield a sequel. Or could it?
dukeakasmudge I was REALLY expecting to like WolfCop so much that I watched it twice because I didn't care for it all that much the 1st time I watched it.The 2nd time I watched it, I thought it might be better the 2nd time around,It was a little better but about the same.WolfCop is a good movie but it was kind of blah.My main problem is that it really didn't get started until there was about 35 minutes left in the movie.It was good enough that whenever part 2, 3, whatever comes out & I get a chance to see it, I'd take a look at it.I'm hoping that part 2 will (Maybe) make me like part 1.I guess I'll wait & see.If somebody asked me if they should see WolfCop, I'd definitely say give it a shot.I didn't like it as much as I thought I would but maybe you might
Aki Savolainen 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.
Kim Heniadis If you can't determine by the title that this was going to be a cheesy B-movie, then you need to watch more horror. Neflix kept suggesting I would like it, and I figured their algorithm should know me by now, so I gave it a go. Thank you Neflix for letting me know about this gem.I will it I almost turned it off 15 minutes in because of the acting of Officer Lou Garou (Lougarou, in one of various translations, is werewolf in Haitian). He just wasn't tough enough, or cheesy enough to pull it off. But the actor, Leo Fafard, finally found his groove, but suddenly he had the right about of cheese with his swagger.I could see this becoming a cult classic. There were lots of quotable lines, and the blood and gore was completely over the top. When Lou turns into a werewolf, chunks of his skin falls off, as his fur pushes through. And the bathroom after his first turn and kills, is completely covered with blood and guts.Besides Lou, the other characters were just as amusing, and I need to get myself a Liquor Donut shirt!Wolfcop 2 : Breed the Wolfpack! is supposed to be in production, and I know I'll be watching the movie when it comes out. If you enjoy Werewolf puns, Cheesy B-Horror Movies with splatters of Gore, I say you'll have a Howlin' good time with WolfCop.
