RAWHEAD REX
dir. George Pavlou, 1986
UK / Ireland. 89 min.
In English
He's pure evil, pure power, pure terror.
A demon in the Irish countryside goes on a rampage after being resurrected by a bolt of lightning, while a U.S. historian on vacation with his wife and son tries to stop it.
Written and disowned by Clive Barker (he wrote the monster as a giant phallus, which the filmmakers chose to turn into a giant ape-like creature), Rawhead Rex maintains just enough of his signature weirdness, along with above average practical effects, to make this a creature feature worth your while.
