Review of Wolfcop

Wolfcop (2014)
7/10
A spoof that accomplishes its goal

Warning: Spoilers
Anyone who goes into a film called "Wolfcop" and comes out angry that it wasn't a deep and serious film is completely misunderstanding the point of this movie. It's meant to be a spoof on werewolf films and the horror/action genre; it's meant to be silly and fun. I went into the theatre expecting a silly, fun, purposely "bad" movie and came out satisfied.

Wolfcop exceeded my expectations in some respects, mainly in some of the special effects. While many of the gory prosthetics weren't very convincing, the scene of the werewolf's first transformation was truly gruesome and shocking at the beginning. Some of the jokes and puns were funnier than expected and I laughed more than I thought I would during the course of the movie.

Where I felt the movie fell short was in the development of the villains. They were shapeshifters but no real information was given on their true form, so the film felt somewhat unfinished in that respect.

Wolfcop is not going to win any Oscars, but its fun and campy nature is sure to attract a cult following.
