“WolfCop” is a 2014 Canadian horror comedy film directed by Lowell Dean. The film follows the protagonist Lou Garou, a lazy and disillusioned police officer who works in a small town called Woodhaven. Lou’s life takes an unexpected turn when he is attacked by a werewolf during a full moon night and turns into a bloodthirsty werewolf.
“WolfCop” stands out for its absurd and crazy ideas that make the film a unique blend of horror and comedy. One of the film’s crazy ideas is the fact that Lou, after becoming a werewolf, continues to perform his duties as a police officer. He uses his supernatural abilities to fight crime in Woodhaven in his own brutal way. In the process, he leaves a bloody trail and turns into a wolf every time the moon is full.
Another crazy idea of the film is the introduction of the character Willie Higgins, who is an alcoholic and homeless man. Willie becomes Lou’s partner and assists him in his wolf-like crime-fighting activities. Together they form a quirky and unconventional duo who deal with all sorts of bizarre situations.
The film also features a number of absurd and over-the-top violent scenes. Lou’s transformation into a werewolf is accompanied by an incredible physical change in which his body size increases, his claws and teeth grow and he develops immense strength. These transformation scenes are bloody and brutal in nature, often accompanied by a mixture of disgust and laughter.
“WolfCop” does not take itself too seriously and deliberately plays with the clichés and stereotypes of the horror genre. The film parodies the usual werewolf clichés and at the same time offers an entertaining and bloody story. Through the mix of absurd ideas, bloody scenes of violence and dry humour, “WolfCop” manages to take its audience on a bizarre and entertaining journey.
