The “Grindhouse” team have a lot to answer for, obviously aimed at those that thought “Hobo With A Shotgun” was too “talky”, this is another exercise from the “Ronseal” of cinema textbook, which gets extra marks for showing promo promise but manages to get the answer wrong. A barnstorming trailer and poster show you really can’t judge a low budget Canadian book by its cover.
An alcoholic cop gets attacked in his small hometown the week of a solar eclipse and starts to discover that he is turning into a bloody Werewolf, a bloody Wolfcop!!! How can this not be brilliant “Beer night” fodder? Eurgh, they manage to find a way. One cracking ride pimping montage and an R.S.P.C.A baiting jail cell sex scene aside, I’ve not been this thoroughly disappointed in a movie’s failure to live up to it’s trailer’s low note promise in quite a while, I used to refer to it as the “Sucker Punch” effect………looks like there’s a new title contender in town.
