VHS Movie Reviews of Rawhead Rex
Movie Review: Glorious Crap
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is awful in pretty much every way possible. But it is so awful that it ends up being great. Just watch Rawhead run if you need further proof of this movie's entertainment valueMovie Review: Good for entertainment value
Summary: 3 Stars
Before any die-hard Barker fans watch this movie, be warned that it is NOT a faithful adaptation of the story. The author wasn't allowed on set, and many changes were done to his story. As a result, Barker tried to get his name removed from the project.
Despite that rather foreboding idea, the movie isn't bad as far as bad movies go. The storyline tends to blather on and it honestly feels like it's a short story stretched out to make a longer story. I recommend it for schlock fans, but anyone looking for a real scare will be dissapointed.
Movie Review: Great Horror Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This a great low-budget horror flick. Cheesy and cheap, it still boasts great chills and suspenseful horror.
Rex is at once both scary and as fake as can be (those electronic eyes!), and the ending is as stupid and cliched as it can be, but David Dukes is worth watching, if only for how nicely he fills out a pair of jeans...he was a very handsome man back then.
But under NO circumstances is it worth even 1/10th of what people are charging for the DVD ($75, are you folks insane???). Get the video tape instead.
Movie Review: Great Creature not so good story
Summary: 3 Stars
Rawhead Rex! Hmmm let's see, I would recommend this film. The monster was great but the story was pretty weak. The story takes place in Ireland and there is some beautiful scenes but in truth it is pretty bad, but HOW CAN YOU "NOT" SEE A MOVIE CALLED RAWHEAD REX? I don't own this DVD, but I will buy it one day when I have a few bucks to waste just to have in my collection. The best thing about Rawhead Rex is the title. Go to the video store pick up the box and look at the back, if it has the same picture on the back that I saw it will tell you everything you need to know.Movie Review: I have a real soft spot for this movie
Summary: 4 Stars
In life there are 2 types of good horror film. There's the deliberately creepy that has you wondering what'll scare you next and there're the films that are so spectacularly cheesy that you find yourself wondering 'Did they actually pay people to make this film or were they just on day release from some programme?'.
I want to say that this film was creepy, scary and intimidating, but I can't. It is truely dire. I'll ignore the special effects (if you've seen the film and don't remember them, there were some, honest, at a stretch) and just mention on of my favorite scenes. In it, the monster, who looks like something that the production department at a really dire school play would reject as too cheep and tacky, manages to pull a woman through a car window and whip her blouse off at the same time. Maybe I'm easily pleased but way to go monster!
If you're a horror film buff, trust me, you'll never see anything quite like this film ever again.
