This is Reverend Lowe from the 1985 horror movie Silver Bullet, based on Stephen King’s novella Cycle of the Werewolf (suggested by @rainbowfishbones). This is my first suggested wolf review and I should make it clear I haven’t always engaged directly with the things suggested, and that’s the case here – I haven’t seen Silver Bullet myself and am going purely off of Wikipedia plot synopsis, images, and YouTube clips. That doesn’t mean I can’t assess the design, though!In any case, the Reverend has a full-body costume that seems somewhat silly by modern standards but seems fairly impressive for the time. He’s got a surprisingly animated face – possibly animatronic, though it’s hard for me to tell such things – with a uniquely-shaped snout. I always appreciate early depictions of wolf-headed-humanoid style werewolves, before depicting them with CGI was fairly easy. I’m never one to harp on against CGI and I think people do so too much, but I can’t imagine making a practical mask that looked and moved even as good as it does here on the Reverend could’ve been a trivial task in 1985! His bulging eyes and oddly-shaped snout seem somewhat silly in some shots and stills, but that’s not necessarily a negative – in fact, I think his face is quite eerie in some shots!8/10, a solid if somewhat simplistic murderbeast -- source link
