AAn unfortunate creature design and an over abundance of close up shots of the face of the said unfortunate creature keeps this one from top tier status. And that’s saying a lot considering this movie is about a resurrected demon monster who runs around this little village terrifying pregnant ladies, eating children whole and urinating on possessed priests.
Cult Classic! Just brutal
Sure it might not have been what Clive Barker hoped it would, but I find it pretty entertaining. This and Lord of Illusions did eventually lead Clive Barker to direct Hellraiser himself.
Any story where someone is baptized in fresh hot piss right from the tap, is a winner for me. Don’t sleep on Rawhead Rex. Enjoy!
Dark, nasty Folk Horror. Loved it!
