      Joe Lipsett Anatomy of a Scream Podcast Network Hardly the disaster its reputation would have you believe, Rawhead Rex is a perfectly fine, very average creature feature with a, yes, very unfortunate immobile prosthetic head. The caravan attack is decent and so the golden shower is surprising. Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 16, 2023 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Next to the Rawhead Rex costume, even the Kroffts’ kiddie monsters H.R. Pufnstuf and Sigmund Ooze start to look lifelike by comparison. Rated: 1.5/4 Apr 8, 2023 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Rex himself is always seen so clearly, his glowing red eyes forever unable to peer through scenery because all the surroundings are visibly lit up. Rated: 4/10 Sep 7, 2020 Full Review Daniel Barnes Dare Daniel With a dog of a script from Clive Barker, the film failed to inspire a Pavlou-vian response. Rated: 2/5 Oct 21, 2018 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews The monster unconvincingly dons a rubber-suit and becomes more risible than frightening. Rated: C+ Aug 3, 2015 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 2, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

      Elvis D Rawhead Rex fue el primer intento por llevar a la gran pantalla uno de los relatos de Clive Barker. Si bien esta película es fiel al relato original en cuanto al argumento, hay muchos elementos que fueron dejados atrás dando como resultado una típica película de monstruos que es igual de entretenida. La gran diferencia es que el relato original está lleno de crudeza y momentos desagradables sin olvidar mencionar que la apariencia de Rawhead Rex es muy diferente al de la película. Puede que Clive no haya quedado satisfecho con el resultado, pero al menos nos trajo una cinta de culto cuyos efectos especiales y diseño del monstruo son lo más disfrutable de la película para cualquier amante de la serie B. Mi nota para esta película es un 8/10. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Always destined to be a classic yes it does not have today's special effects I originally viewed it when it came out and it obviously had a bigger impact then its different in a good way Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review tam w I seen this movie for the first time today and was a bit disappointed. I never read the book so i don't know how they compare, but the movie had no real plot at all and unless you visit Wiki or read up about stuff after it, you'll be left confused by a lot. If i watched this as a kid in the 80's i'd have enjoyed it a lot more because the special effects / gore were actually alright and the first kill / house raid were filmed well also but it just goes downhill after the first 15 minutes or so. Worth a watch if you're bored, but wouldn't put off other plans for it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It is a total waste of time. Avoid it! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review michael d Poor Rawhead, he could've been so much more. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Matthew D Decent enough. Not great adaptation of the story from Clive Barker's 'Books of Blood Vol. 3', but passable fun. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/25/20 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
