Small town cop Lou Garou drinks too much, and when bad things happen he tends to look the other way. One night, acting out of character, Lou follows up on a disturbance call in a remote area, but shortly after he arrives on the scene, he blacks out. When he wakes up, he can’t remember anything, his senses are heightened, and his hair is growing at a rapid rate. That night, Lou’s transformation from man into rage-fuelled werewolf takes shape. During the day, Lou struggles to remain in control while working to uncover the mystery of who did this to him. The only question is will Lou be able to make things right before his inner monster takes control again? (StudioCanal UK)

The idea would be fitting for the early 1980s, but given the trend in Grindhouse of the last two decades, it’s also acceptable for more ambitious B-movie waters. The execution of the story, however, is pretty terrible – there are a few decently edited scenes, the make-up effects and the gore are alright, and there are a couple of very good ideas (the transformation into a werewolf is pretty funny, likewise the sex scene with the beautiful red riding hood), but the promising concept is killed by a pointless twist and the ending is just boring and bland. At least Sarah Lind is a candidate for the sexiest bartender in film history (though in her case it was a little different). 35%

WolfCop makes an average impression as a horror comedy, but it still has drive and doesn't shy away from the dark humour that is appropriate for such a film. The main character, Lou, is an unreliable jerk, alcoholic and troublemaker all rolled into one, something that doesn't really change even after his transformation into a werewolf, except perhaps for his more bloodthirsty behavior, so he doesn't take any shit from the criminals in the small town where he lives. Overall, the film had a hardened and raw effect on me, which was underscored by the choice of grittier music. An unconventional genre hybrid with pros and cons that balance out in the end - hence the pure average.

"WolfCop" was a very pleasant surprise for me, which simply must be appreciated. When a film entertains you, it doesn't matter what genre it is. And I was entertained by this film. Those masks are just fantastic. At the end of the film, it was mentioned that a sequel awaits us in 2015. As it turns out, it won't be possible, but they are working on it. And I am quite curious about the second installment. I simply won't miss a similar B-movie.
