Rawhead Rex

2.5 out of 5 stars.

1) Production- Fine, in my mind for the time. easy to watch, not shaky, lighting and locals ok, nothing to distract from the story.

2) Story Line -  This story starts out in my favorite way, with action and death.  Then it does a good job keeping me interested by having the monster pop up and kill people every couple minutes it seems.  The body count seems high for an 80's flick.  I had my finger on the fast forward button, but never had a chance to use it.

3) Actors- The actors were ok.  I like to think the bad guy had fun running around in makeup and costume.

4) Effects-  The effects were a little chessy, but that was the era.

5) Adult Stuff- Cheesy One Liners, Bad Language, Booze, Drugs, Blood, Bondage, Guts, Gore, Hoochie Girls, Boobs, Sex, Vagina, Penis, Penis Trauma

*NOTE- a WTF in the story line means there was something or someone that made me say WTF on a large enough scale that it distracted or interrupted the story line.

Why only 2.5?  It's old, and the story although interesting is not ground breaking or trend setting.

I heard that Clive Barker wasn't a fan of this film, to be honest I have suffered through way worse.  In my opinion if someone really wanted to this would be an easy remake with a much darker retelling.

In my mind like "Leprechaun"
