In the book, it's explained Brady is disemboweled and decapitated by the werewolf. That would've been a pretty intense thing to see on screen. Especially back then. To be honest I think the scene works better the way it came out, In sort of a less is more kind of way. The kite being covered with blood, the Sheriff's shocked expression while praying, and Brady's Dad's horrified reaction was all we really needed to get an idea for how gruesome the ordeal was. To quote Stephen King "We see everything we need to in our imaginations and it's very terrifying."
His performance in this movie was so amazing he captured that terror and sadness so well that it was and still is the most frightening scenes in silver bullet in my opinion well that and the dream scene.
I love how this scene played out. His reaction when he sees his son’s remains or at least what’s left of him is heart wrenching and it makes you imagine what he’s looking at without even seeing it.
no one wants to see the image of a dead child...especially in a horror movie. so it's safe to say that Kent's expression was effective enough for me where I first saw Silver Bullet the following Halloween 1986 at age 10.

This scene is one of the prime examples why modern horror movies are so much worse than the old ones. You didn't need to see when it happened, not every torn bodypart of the child . All you needed , was the fathers face when finding his only child like this. It was gut wrenching when i first saw it all those years ago and it still is. Less shoving things into the viewers face and more leaving it to peoples imagination , it worlked in so many cult classics! Modern horror directors? TAKE NOTICE!
Yep. I loved silver bullet, it didn’t really scare me much (kinda defeats the purpose of a horror movie but I don’t like getting scared lol) and it wasn’t disturbing like some other movies I saw. I loved the suspense in it though. The suspense was the best part.
@@mogensschmidt2498 agreed I wanted to see everything that Steven King said in the book. Disemboweled and decapitated just like Arnie at the opening at the railroad track.
This all makes sense because when I first saw this movie as a child, it was on TBS or TNT. I think I was about 5 years old and the shot of him looking at the body covered and you hear the cloth being moved, I thought that was done for the TV version, Because it looked like it was zoomed up on his face. Even some time after, I saw the full version of the movie and I saw the same shot again. I said to myself, "I guess I was wrong." Because I was actually expecting to see the body of that young teenager.
“Silver Bullet” was the only feature Daniel Attias directed, but he’s got an IMDb a mile long from directing prestige TV like “Sopranos,” “Deadwood,” “True Detective” and “The Wire.” He’s also done 16 episodes of “It’s Always Sunny.”
One of the best moments of that film was Kent's reaction. I've never seen anything like it since honestly ... its deeply felt.
The bar scene was equally AMAZING. MY SON WAS TORN TO PIECES......PIECES!!!!
Dude steals the scene every shot he’s in.
He played this role perfect. Thank yiu
This guy's performance is oddly fascinating in how it changes from being over the top to surprisingly realistic in the middle of a scene.

My favorite werewolf movie. Terrified me as a kid. This scene was terrifying...
Best werewolf film and most unique
His performance in this movie was so amazing he captured that terror and sadness so well that it was and still is the most frightening scenes in silver bullet in my opinion well that and the dream scene.
I think this was my best horror movie of all times.
he has another great scene in the pool hall. "My son was torn to PIECES!!"
I think this is the best way it could've been shot, because there is nothing more terrifying than your own imagination.
Brilliant actor, everything he put in was totally believable.
Reverend!!! HE WAS TORN APARTTTTT!!!!!
I love how this scene played out. His reaction when he sees his son’s remains or at least what’s left of him is heart wrenching and it makes you imagine what he’s looking at without even seeing it.
I truly enjoyed the movie and I wish if only they would've made a sequel
how? the werewolf is dead at the end!
King ought to write the sequel;
Call it The Curse of the Werewolf.
@@DoubleNickelFilmsLtd we already have a curse of the werewolf story out here in book and movie format.
They should make a re-make
@@boingokky idk maybe he comes back to life
He was shocked and horrified and crying at the fact that this was the worst prob ever
Good actor. Very memorable as the prissy insurance company rep in The Verdict.

Silver bullet and stand by me are probably the best film incarnations of Stephen King books.
Love this film. Love it.
