Movie Spotlight - "WOLFCOP"

Recently I had the pleasure of watching a movie that I had been waiting for months to see. Wolf Cop is a new movie that is a total throwback to the glory days of crappy films. They went for an 80's vibe and totally nailed it. Like somewhat of the bastard child of Teen Wolf mixed with a bad cop flick, it's hard to not feel nostalgic when viewing this masterpiece/turd. All the information you need to have to determine if you want to see this is quite simple. He's a wolf. He's a cop. He's Wolfcop. If that doesn't grab you right there, you should probably pass on this.

 But here's the setup anyway.

We start with some hooded figures in the woods performing some sort of ritual. 

We flash ahead to our main man, down and out cop Lou Garou (a little foreshadowing there), as he stumbles around drunkenly on the job, and everywhere else. He's has the potential to be a good cop. He just seems to have lost all motivation, given up on life, and turned to a lifestyle of lecherous debauchery. One morning when Lou wakes up he discovers a pentagram has been carved into his chest. He has no recollection of how it got there. Later, while doing his business at a urinal, his urine transforms into blood and he begins transforming for the first time. This is a well done scene, with cool practical effects. Especially disturbing is that we are shown his pecker transforming to its werewolf version. Very unique. The transformation is complete. He is Wolfcop. His police cruiser he modifies and turns it into the Wolfmobile. Ridiculousness ensues. Lou finds himself tail deep in an ages old conspiracy that may prove too much for the now highly motivated officer of the paw. I mean law. 

Wolfcop has a definite Canadian feel to it as well. That vibe that underlies shows like Corner Gas. It's fun. It's somehow understated. The acting is good. The movie is well made and well directed. They aren't breaking any new ground here, except maybe the werewolf penis thing, but Wolfcop is a fun little travel back in time for fans like me, that enjoy B-Movies. I also read that Wolfcop 2 is in the works. Happy happy joy joy.
