Review of Rawhead Rex (1986) by Rick Z — 30 Sep 2008
The movie that clive barker would love to forget! not very close to the short story even with the barker penned screenplay. still one of my favorite 80's horror films. this would be a great candidate for a modernization! [if done well] at least they kept the scene where the preacher gets 'baptized' by rawhead's urine which was one of the most disturbing aspects of the short story.
but they cut waay back on rawhead's taste for the flesh of children. if you haven't seen it. good luck. it's quite out of print right now in the usa.
