Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Mark Turner Years ago I was at a small horror fan convention called Cinema Wasteland (a con that I will always sing praises for and have attended numerous times since) and saw a movie made by a company called Low Budget Pictures. True to their name the movie was incredibly low budget, disgusting on several levels and poorly made. All that being said the crowd turned the movie into a fun event while watching it. It was like a Troma movie but on a smaller budget and grosser if that's possible. But low budget films have been a staple for some time now with some being creative, inventive and amazing while others were, well, Low Budget Pictures. So how does the low budget film WOLF COP fare?In the small town of Woodhaven, police officer Lou Garou (Leo Fafard) spends most of his time drunk or sitting at the local bar. His friend Willie Higgins (Jonathan Cherry) calls him to report occult activity at his gun story but ignores him. When he calls again the chief tells him to investigate. He arrives to find an occult group sacrificing a local politician who was promoting investigating corruption. Knocked unconscious he wakes the next day with no idea of what happened and a pentagram carved into his chest. Suddenly Garou seems to become super cop. He has heightened senses and can smell things no one else can, see clearer and becomes stronger. That night when he goes to the bar again while in the bathroom he begins to feel differently. Unfortunately for them at the same time members of a local gang are terrorizing the barmaid Jessica (Sarah Lind) and enter the bathroom to confront Garou. Except that he has changed into a werewolf in uniform. Taking apart the gang members, one escapes to report back to his boss. Garou once more passes out only to wake and find himself handcuffed to his friend Willie's bed. Willie lets him know that he's become a werewolf now.The next day Garou and his partner Sgt. Tina (Amy Matysio) are assigned the investigation of the slaughter at the bar. They're also given the job of investigating a series of robberies taking place by thieves wearing pig masks. That night Garou takes a call for help at a local supermarket and changes into his werewolf form before he can go. Retaining his human intelligence this time he arrives and takes on the robbers in gory detail. Thinking the only safe thing for him to do is lock himself up, Willie puts him in a cell. While there Jessica arrives, disrobes and while in wolf form the pair have sex. She knows his secret.Yes, something else is going on that Garou and his partner are unaware of. It all comes to a head in the final part of the film which I won't reveal here. Better those that enjoy movies like this still have something to look forward to.So let's start with the bad. The film is definitely low budget. Not in the worst way possible (think moving cardboard headstones in PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE) but it shows. The acting isn't bad but still leaves something to be desired. The story has plenty of holes in it but hey, who cares? This is exploitation movie making at its best.The good is the movie. It never takes itself seriously and that shows. The gore effects are over the top with flying heads and blood spewing forth in abundance, something all good gorehounds love in their films. That bad acting? It doesn't matter. It's passable and that's a step up for movies like this. Especially endearing is Willie. The end result is a movie that's more fun than serious, to be taken for what it is which is a low budget film that has heart, a creative endeavor that pays off in some ways and falls short in others. Fans of the film will most likely hoot and howl (get it?) while watching the film. It will draw attention and become a movie to put on while drinking for most and could never possibly yield a sequel. Or could it?

one-nine-eighty Does what it says on the tin. Directed and written by Lowell Dean this Canadian Horror Comedy is a bit of a random low budget gem. It excels in not taking itself too seriously and delivers a movie which feels very 1980's. Teen-Wolf this is not, it's more a slapstick horror flick done on a shoestring which occasionally hits the funny bone but sometimes falls flat on its face. In fact as you progress with the film it's more akin to 'Trolls 2' with shape shifters and "flowerew's" ;)Leo Fafard is a an alcohol soaked cop in a small dead end town. One day he awakes from his drunken slumber and feels different, his senses are sharper, he is hairier, dogs are attracted to him and other wildlife flees… he's a werewolf, a werewolf cop. Follow Wolfcop as he beats the side-walk. His new found powers and abilities come in really useful but how exactly did he become a wolfcop and what is going to be his fate when the townsfolk discover his secret. Will the fuzz get the bad guys or will dirtier Harry find a grizzly demise? Watch and find out. I'm giving this 6 out of 10 because it had a lot of potential but didn't fully deliver. I enjoyed it but there were times when the pace of the film dragged a little and I was waiting for something fun to happen, saying that though, when it was fun it was really fun.

bill_scollops Wolfcop reviewFor a film with the title WolfCop and that has boobs on display in the first 3 minutes, it became a surprisingly bleak first half. The story of an alcoholic cop, and starring an actor I'd actually seen in a film before (Not as the WolfCop itself though), it got me invested in the despair of the run-down crime-ridden town. The first transformation from Lou Garrou into Wolfcop was sudden, effective an phallic, and the film took a shift from grim and dark into some B-movie style awesomeness with bad jokes (he's 'the fuzz'), faces being ripped off, and a whole lot of cleaning up town. The ending went in an unexpected direction, with a Grimm fairytale sex scene, a whole lot of oddness and a good old fashioned gunfight (and wolf bite) ending. An unforeseen gem of a movie, roll on WolfCop 2. "Lou, your a wolf!" (growls) "Cop!"

Star Master INTRO: As audiences we've seen almost everything before, so if you're going to do a movie involving the classic creatures of folklore (werewolves, vampires, frankensteinians, shape-shifters, etc), then it's best to put your own stamp on it and bring something fresh to the table. Wolfcop manages to do that, even just in the title.LIKES: Campy, witty, with a likable protagonist. It's also got a short running time and sometimes that's a blessing. It doesn't push the storyline further than it needs to.DISLIKES: Overuse of graphic violence, even though it's fitting for the style and genre of the picture.OUTRO: I switched the movie off hoping to see a Wolfcop Trilogy. There's plenty of potential.
