Plot: Woodhaven is a small town, home to police officer Lou (Leo Fafard) who prefers the rural, quiet lifestyle the town offers. After all, he might be a cop, but he’d rather spend his time getting drunk than fighting crime. The town’s popular Drink & Shoot festival is coming up, which means tons of alcohol will be served to people who are also armed, quite a combination. While the event is a town favorite and highlight of the year for most, this year’s event has been cancelled. A violent spree of mysterious deaths has turned the town upside down, with Lou right in the middle of it all. After he looked into a strange disturbance, Lou woke up with no recollection of what happened and a horrific pentagram carved into his chest. As the situation grows weirder by the minute, Lou also finds out he happens to transform into a werewolf at times, but luckily his friend was around to tranquilize him and keep his secret. What kind of evil presence is stalking Woodhaven and can Lou stop drinking long enough to put his newfound powers to use and solve this case?

Entertainment Value: A lot of movies have tried to blend horror and comedy, with mostly lackluster results. But Wolfcop is able to rise above most of them, even if it too stumbles at times. I love the premise though, as a lazy cop finds himself with werewolf powers as his town is preyed upon by some unknown presence. The reason Wolfcop works so well is because it focuses on the horror elements, then puts a humorous twist on the conventions. So while it does feel campy at times, it isn’t a slapstick affair and that really benefits the movie. The end result is a wealth of over the top bloodshed and some wicked transformation scenes, with sharp moments of humor involved. Such as a guy’s face being ripped off, but his skull continues to shout, or the werewolf love scene, which is a highlight. The cast is fun to watch, as they go with the flow of the concept and make the most of the material. Lou’s sidekick is a bright spot, as he brings a goofy energy that is a lot of fun. This is just a movie that’s fun to watch, with effective humor, buckets of blood, and some terrific effects work. So if you’re into horror movies, over the top cinema, or have a werewolf fetish, Wolfcop is worth a look.

The nudity is restricted to a couple of topless scenes, but one is part of a werewolf sex scene, so bonus. A good deal of bloodshed however, with a selection of impressive practical effects that are a blast to watch. Some of the mayhem includes decapitation, eye removal, maulings, and of course, the transformation scenes. These are some wicked transformations too, eons beyond what movies can offer. Who doesn’t love seeing a penis torn apart and replaced by a wolf’s cock, right? I loved the transformation sequences and I think genre fans will as well. Also some gun related violence, but those are the least memorable of the carnage moments. I found the dialogue to be solid, with a lot of funny exchanges and one liners. Humor in horror is no simple task, so Wolfcop should be commended for making it work so well. Some moments work better than others of course, but overall the dialogue is witty and adds a lot to the movie. The premise alone is pretty wacky, but throw in the eclectic sense of humor and fun effects and this one earns a few points. I do think it stays more grounded than some might expect, but that actually works in the movie’s favor, in my opinion.

Nudity: 1/10
