WolfCop

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. (26.01.2016)

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% (17.10.2019)

WolfCop was a very pleasant surprise for me, which is to be appreciated. If you enjoy a movie, it doesn't matter what genre it is. And I enjoyed this movie. The masks are just awesome. At the end of the film, we were told that a sequel was coming in 2015. As it turns out, it won't get done by then, but it's in the works. And I'm quite curious about the second part. I simply don't want to miss out on a B-movie like this. (27.10.2015)
