I'm a fan of horror comedies in general, some of my favorite horror movies have a heavy dose of comedy to them (TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2 and THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD, for example), but – like with regular comedies – there are some where I just can't connect with the film's sense of humor. That's how it was for me when I watched the 2014 cult classic WOLFCOP. I didn't enjoy that movie very much, but I know it has a legion of fans and I don't want to rain on the celebrations for the upcoming sequel ANOTHER WOLFCOP.
A new trailer for the follow-up can be seen below, and it promises more violence, sex, liquor, explosions, donuts – all sorts of things that could make this one even more entertaining than its predecessor.
In ANOTHER WOLFCOP,
a year has passed since the dark eclipse transformed hard-drinking Officer Lou Garou into the infamous lycanthrope crime-fighter. Although the evil that controlled Woodhaven was defeated, the small town is far from returning to normal. Lou’s liquor-fuelled lunar outbursts are now seriously testing his relationship with his partner, and new chief of police, Tina Walsh; an old friend has mysteriously reappeared with a truly bizarre secret to share; and a villainous entrepreneur looking to transform the town has set up a nefarious new venture.
Written and directed by Lowell Dean (who also wrote and directed the first movie), the film stars Leo Fafard, Amy Matysio, Jonathan Cherry, Yannick Bisson, and Serena Miller, with a cameo by Kevin Smith.
