Rating: Summary: I remembered it fondly, but... Review: I saw this when I was a kid and thought it was scary. I recently purchased it and watched it again, and it was a lot better in my memory than in real life. This flick actually has a fairly decent plot and would be OK if not for FFM-full frontal monstrosity within the first 30 minutes...any good horror director should know to keep the view of latex masks obscured at least until a good halfway through the film. Rex's cheezy effects are there for full viewing in about 5 long close-up scenes. If you can overlook the awful effects, it's an OK picture.
Rating: Summary: This Movie rocks you and guts you both!!1 Review: I think that more people should give more thumbs up to Rawhead rex he was here before freedy, and pin-head and he should be given another chance to make it in the movies. I can promise you Rawhead fans one thing he will be back and better than every becaus I plain on doing the second Rawhead Rex movie in th e year 2008 it might be a while but its worth the wait. And remember Rawhead's words arrhhhh ahhhh rahhhh ahh rahhh ahhhh!!!!!
Rating: Summary: Cheese Review: I think, as movie fans, we often forget that the main objective of a movie is to entertain. Even if you're laughing at how bad it is, you are still entertained. Taking that into account, I found Rex to be thoroughly entertaining. The filming was well done and the plot line was solid. There were truly gorey scences (the spray of blood when he bites the priest was very well done), and many scenes of 'implied horror'. The character development was adequate. I think that the creature was great. I appreciated what they did with limited resources, and found him satifactorily disgusting, if not terrifiying. As a connisseur of American cheese (aka 'B' movies), I found this to be grade A product. I was spooked once, grossed out plenty, and laughed a lot. If you're looking for a horrifying, grab your seat, hide your eyes 'cuz something bad is about to happen kind of movie, this isn't it. If you're looking for an entertaining horror film with decent gross out factor, an interesting plot and subtle humor this is your ticket.
Rating: Summary: One of the worst I've ever seen Review: I thought this was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The creature is really cheesy--some guy in an obviously fake, cheap-looking pull-over monster head. There was no suspense. Since it wasn't frightening, it could have at least been amusing, like a lot of very bad movies. It wasn't even that. It was mostly unendurable.
Rating: Summary: Much more here than meets the eye. Review: If you haven't seen this movie at least three times, then you just haven't seen it at all. There is a dark undercurrent that runs freely throughout "Rawhead",slowly but surely bubbling up to the soul of the viewer, exposing his deepest, most primal fear to the person least able to deal with it--the viewer himself. If you are only able to see with your eyes, "Rawhead" will be a disappointment. If you have the ability to see through the windows to the soul, you will find something of value. This is a five-star movie with special-effects that cost it one star.
Rating: Summary: Rawhead Rex is great for Rob Zombie-ish types Review: If you love cheasy movies and collect classic horror movies, get this movie! Rawhead Rex's costume may look cheasy but it's the chease factor that adds to his creepiness. I remember seeing this movie when I was about ten years old on HBO early in the morning. I remember it was a really hot night and me, my dad, and my brother were sweating like pigs in the living room with the fan on high. We watched Rawhead Rex because there was nothing better on TV. The movie itself is really creepy with the settings and the most unpredictable site for a massacre: a trailer park! The movie itself is very much like the old myth of the Golem. Some guy wants to kill of his enemies, so he creates a monster to control and do his dirty work. Somehow, ripping off that idea worked. I doubt you can rent this movie anywhere, but it is worth a watch. Especially on a hot summer night. Fans of Romero movies and similar horrors that are meant to be scary but provide more laughs than chills should pick this movie up because it is a definite underground classic.
Rating: Summary: I just loved this film. Review: 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 totally 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.
Rating: Summary: Rawhead Rex was both fun and scary. Review: It was a good movie, but the make-up was not the best for a horror film. There are some great shots in the film. It looks very creepy and horrifying. The best part of the film takes place in a trailer park. That is where the horror is at its peak. This is one of the best horror films in the last twenty years. Don't watch it alone, you will not be able to sleep.
Rating: Summary: RAWHEAD SEX DVD Review: ok I was a little skeptical about even buying this DVD because I remember as a little kid thinking it was awesome and scary-but things aren't always what they seemed to be. It wasn't really that great but for [the money] is was worth it I guess. There is no theatrical trailer, no widescreen (was it ever even widescreen?), the only feature:it has only a scene selection. But as far as picture quality it's probably the best transfer I've ever seen. There is alot of compression and it shows-all the scenes at night are grainy and all the scenes it the daylight if you look at the sky it also seems grainy. But I really don't think there will ever be a 'special edition' of this rare cult film which is now out of print so just settle for this one.
