If you were not frightened by the atrocity of The Leprechaun I must say that that movie has an older brother, which is even more atrocious and even more not frightening.
Something evil in the forests of Ireland lurks - the terrifying Rawhead Rex. It has awoken from a centuries long slumber released from its womb of the earth.
Red-eyed, ripped like Arnie in Commando and apparently 8-9 feet tall. Albeit the last feature is not much of a feat in countryside Ireland, since most Irish seem to be the same height as Rawhead Rex. It could be possible that Rawhead just didn't want to seem too tall on set (tall actors are mostly perceived as bad actors) and decided to crouch, so that he could see eye to eye with his meals. I must however state that he does try to give a delicious performance as a reject from Twisted Sister with a bad hair day and a piranha attached to his face.
The movie itself can be used for Irish sex lessons for the catholically challenged. It gives great insight as to why pregnancy is a gift and also convincingly introduces you to the notion that kissing is gross.
Apart from that one must admire the tremendous acting abilities of a certain priest (played by Ronan Wilmot), who hands out very well verbalised 'fcks' and does as stand up job as a latrine.
Must give some negative comment about the lack of good screaming actresses, which did subtract somewhat from the watching pleasure. Also not enough chasing of females in woods and people tripping over their own feet.
I had to double check if this wasn't a Troma film. Surprisingly it wasn't. I also double checked if Clive Barker really is responsible for the... ugh... I'll go out on a limb and call it a story. Amazingly he was.
