Horror movie with a giant furry creature

Movies
1

Hello. I’m trying to find the name of a movie I saw when I was a kid.

I saw it around 30 years ago, but I suspect it is older than 1990. What I remember involves dark indoors, some shots with a giant white-fur creature that had a snout and I think red eyes, some shots of its torso being seen behind metal shelves, and a final scene with what looked like a gory corpse thrown in a very derelict area.

Regrettably, I don’t remember much more. It might have been a direct-to-video movie since I saw it on TV. This clues me in on it being rather older than 1990, since I saw it dubbed in spanish, and it not being a major release, since TV movies here are rather cheap.

Thank you for reading, and for any help :smiley:

Could be Graveyard Shift?

That's a surprisingly close one. Unfortunately, no. The creature I remember was more canid-like, a sort of werewolf (but I can't say for sure if it was a werewolf or just a wolf-like creature). Another memory I have of it is a torso shot where we see grey-black abs. The environments were more industrial. Also, the movie looked cheaper. Graveyard Shift's creature is much better realized than the one in my memories. Thank you so much for the suggestion. I enjoyed the film anyways!

Hmm, could be one of the many terrible Howling sequels?

The creature is definitely similar, but the humans transforming and the setting the movies are in don't ring any bells. What I remember wasn't campy, it was a rather oppressive atmosphere. Thank you for keeping trying! Sorry about being so vague, I saw the film a long time ago, and it's a rather cherished childhood memory of seeing it with my mom. It was pretty much my first horror film.

Right, so now I’m going down the very deep hole of DTV Werewolf movies.

Bad Moon?

No, that one is colder. There were no tribal or nature elements in the movie I remember, nor shapeshifting. It was all indoors in what I presume was a derelict lab or factory. Graveyard Shift was incredibly close because of that. The gory final scene I remember was a static shot that looked like a wide space between two buildings, strewn with garbage and debris. I recall seeing the color of bricks, and the buildings had broken windows and were run down. The shot had a sort of flayed corpse thrown on the garbage, seen from afar. I distinctly remember green metal shelves and darkness, too...

Hahaha, excellent. It isn't the one I'm looking for, but it certainly was deliciously fun :D
