WolfCop

**When Sergeant Lou Garou becomes a Loup-Garou** A lousy cop in a town in Middle America (Leo Fafard) investigates some nefarious occultists meeting in the woods and eventually finds out he has the ability to morph into a savage, well, WolfCop. “WolfCop” (2014) contains a fairly original werewolf-oriented story inspired by predecessors “Howling: Your Sister is a Werewolf,” “Teen Wolf” and “Big Bad Wolf.” It’s amusingly quirky with black humor, brutal gore, clever bits and adult-oriented material. The later “The Hunting” with Joelle Westwood and Peyton Hillis is cut from similar cloth, in ways, except that it took the more serious, slow-burn route. Brunette Sarah Lind as Jessica stands out on the beauty front, but Amy Matysio as Sergeant Tina rises to the fore as the top female cast member. The score was composed by Saskatoon’s Shooting Guns & Toby Bond with the soundtrack featuring seven rockin’ songs by four other groups/artists, including two songs by Styx’s own Lawrence Gowan. It runs 1 hour, 19 minutes, and was shot in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, which is about 70 miles west of Regina and 143 miles south of Saskatoon. GRADE: B
