I remembered seeing this picture when I was very young & liking it so when I spotted it at my local pawn shop I bought it. And although the film was not as incredible as it was back then (The film did have it's slow spots) all in all it still turned out to be the awesome horror flick I remembered. Based on a novel by Clive Barker (He also wrote the screenplay for this) The story centers on an ancient demon that use to rule the earth, that was defeated & sent back to the very bowels of hell, whom is accidentally unearthed in a village near Ireland. Upon it's release, it hypnotizes people to be it's servants & goes around ripping up the usual humans that happen to stumble upon him in the woods. The monster himself in particular is terrifying, with it's glowing red eyes, quick speed, huge teeth & it's unearthly growls. Horror fans should have a fine time. What a shame Rawhead never came back for a RAWHEAD REX 2! Directed by GEORGE PAVLOU whom also helmed another Clive Barker project called TRANSMUTATIONS & like that film, Clive later disowned this.
