What makes Wolf of Snow Creek funny is really just the main police officer character; there's this werewolf going around killing people and the cop is very bad at his job, and he is constantly aware of this fact and very frustrated by it. I can't do it justice here, it's really funny to watch this guy melt down while this other serious horror plot is going on. It could have been just a decent horror film otherwise but this extra dimension to it was very entertaining and intriguing.
