Lou is a hairy drunken cop killing time and brain cells in a small rural town, one depressing beer at a time…
I’ll get to the point quicker than the film does; of course Lou is bitten and becomes a werewolf. He remains hairy. He remains a drunkard. He remains depressed. He even remains a cop – Wolfcop.
Really the only difference between human Lou and Wolfcop Lou is the awful wolf puns. That and the sense of ‘not again’ when it comes to Canadian built films that seem to be greenlit with a script that doesn’t go far beyond the title…
Wolfcop isn’t an astonishing new arrival in comedy horror. He is not a devil may care character headlining a hilariously fresh film full of creativity and innovation. He’s a hairy guy with bad dialogue in a bad film. He has no reason to exist.
In fact the scariest thing doesn’t happen until the movie ends, and remarkably it isn’t the ear shredding Wolfcop themed rap song that will trouble your soul. It is the announcement of Wolfcop 2, coming in 2015.
Lock your doors, bar your windows and burn your blu-ray players kids…
Final Rating – 5 / 10. Pick one thing. Pick another thing. Combine. Add bad jokes, bad effects and precious little ingenuity.
