If you think a drunk cop is a social problem, what if that cop becomes a werewolf on a full moon night? WolfCop, a 2014 Canadian film, presents the chaotic adventures of a wild cop who must deal with crime and growing fur, packed with hilarious jokes and non-stop blood splatter.
Plot Summary (No Spoilers)
Meet Lou Garou (played by Leo Fafard), a drunk cop in the town of Woodhaven who seems utterly useless. One night, he is called to a remote location and passes out. When he wakes up, he finds his senses are abnormally sharp, his hair grows fast, and on a full moon night, he turns into a giant werewolf. Lou must adapt to his new life and investigate who did this to him, while fighting the villains threatening the town.
Acting and Characters
Leo Fafard portrays Lou Garou with charm, capturing both his drunken demeanor and the comedic struggle of transforming. He effectively conveys the emotions of a cop trying to do good but whose life is falling apart. Amy Matysio as Tina, his supportive colleague, adds warmth to the story. Sarah Lind as Jessica, a werewolf who is both friend and foe, is also captivating. Most characters are one-dimensional but enough to keep you laughing.
Direction, Visuals, and Music
Lowell Dean, director and screenwriter, fully embraces the B-movie style. The visuals are intentionally cheesy and gory, with music that matches the humorous horror atmosphere. The transformation effects, though unrealistic, fit the over-the-top comedic tone. The editing is fast-paced and never boring.
Editorial Analysis
WolfCop is not a film that will make you think deeply; it knows exactly what it is: a horror comedy focused on mindless entertainment. Some jokes may fall flat, but overall it flows well and is enjoyable, especially scenes where Lou tries to control his wild instincts in public. The film also cleverly satirizes the police system and small-town society.
Verdict
If you enjoy B-movie horror comedies or want something lighthearted and mindless, <strong>WolfCop</strong> is the answer. Guaranteed laughs and fun in 79 minutes.
