Rawhead Rex (film)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rawhead Rex is a 1986 film based on a short story by Clive Barker which originally appeared in Volume 3 of his Books of Blood series. It features a monstrous pagan demon's bloody rampage through the Irish countryside.

The film was directed by George Pavlou and has been criticized for poor plotting and poor production values. Pavlou and Clive Barker (who also wrote the screenplay) had previously worked together on Transmutations (also known as Underworld): in both cases, Barker was dissatisfied with the final results. His dissatisfaction moved him to direct Hellraiser.
