The movie opens with a group of Irish farmers in a field. They are trying to move a large pillar from the field. What they don't know is that pillar is a seal keeping a terrible demon underground, and if its unleashed, then all hell will break loose.
Once again the Demon's terror is unleashed !
Howard Hallenbeck brings his family to the country to write a book about preservation of cultures. He photographs the local Church and finds out about Rawhead Rex and his Kingdom of fear through the Church's maniac vicar Declan O'Brien and the pictures depicted in the church's stain glass window. The deranged vicar is suddenly turned into a follower of Rawhead Rex when the seal was broken and goes on a complete mad one.
The movie then follows Howard hunting down
the monster in order to avenge his son's death, of course there is a lot of
killing and destroying as Rawhead walks on earth again.
The movie is very cheaply made and was adapted from Clive Barker's Books of
Blood (He later directed Hellraiser after seeing what a let down Rawhead Rex
was.).
The actors considering the budget play their
rolls well, especially David Dukes(Howard Hallenbeck) and Ronan Wilmot(Declan
O'Brien). Rawhead Rex special fx's and monster suit was very well done, cheap,
but well done. The glowing red-eyes and his large mouth full of teeth made
him look meaner, if it wasn't for that it would look like a muscled walking
gorilla. All in all it’s a movie worth to watch for the nice camera
angles ( Rawhead walking with a head in his hand or when he's mauling a body
hanging from a tree ), nice monster and gore. If you like cheap cult monster
movies, this is a must watch!
