Writer and director Lowell Dean’s Wolfcop is meant to be campy fun, but as far as Clatto is concerned it is a work of genius. Take its plot: an alcoholic cop accustomed to blacking out discovers he’s a werewolf when the crime scenes he investigates start to look all too familiar.
It’s like Dirty Harry… but hairier. One cop’s quest to become a better man… one transformation at a time. These are just some of the fun teases whetting our appetite for the CineCoup horror-comedy, starring Leo Fafard as the Wolfcop and Sarah Lind (pictured) as stunning barkeep Jessica.
