John Wolfman (Dean Stockwell exclusively in archive footage, voiced by
Mark Evan Jackson) is the president of the USA - and maybe the only man
who can stop the country's sell-out to the Chinese, since congress (both
sides of the aisle) has pretty much agreed to hand the USA over to China
for a skyscraper per congress member in exchange. But the president is
also a single father since his wife has died, and he's not always up to
that job - which comes to a head when he goes hunting to Apache chountry,
and when he shoots a deer, he is cursed to become a werewolf. As a
werewolf, he kills one congressmember agreeing to the sell-out to China
after the next, but a) there are too many of them, and b) in his human
state, these killings weigh heavily on his conscience - so he confides
into his vice president, and hopes with his help, he can stay in office
just long enough to sign a veto against the sell-out and not kill any more
people ... but the vice president has long been on China's payroll and now
has the president chained up in his office, while he assumes, erm, office
... but you can't keep a good werewolf down. Made up entirely
of stock footage, primarily from the 1970's, President Wolfman's
main source for material isthe 1973 movie The Werewolf
of Washington
by Milton Moses Ginsberg, though with the plot of that movie totally altered. And while The Werewolf
of Washington
was a
well-intentioned political satire more than once let down by its inherent
cheapness, lack of hindsight and narrative shortcomings, President
Wolfman pokes fun at just this, plays with the relative trashiness of
its source material (also by "enriching" it with intentionally
random stock footage), and works as a political satire and a genre parody
alike. Probably not for those who take the werewolf genre seriously or
hold the 1973 movie in too high regard, but everybody who's in for a few
good laughs, and maybe plans on drinking a pint or three during the run of
the film, will really enjoy this.
