Welcome to beautiful Ireland! Home to rolling hills, the Emerald Isles, train spotting heroine junkies, the legendary Blarney Stone, and the leather-clad demons of the Underworld (You heard me, Blarney Stone)! So, some Irish farmers uncover a stone monolith (probably while trying to grow whiskey trees from their empty bottles) and inadvertently release the big, evil, S+M demon, Rawhead Rex. When was the last time someone released a demon "advertantly"?! Fucking English language and all it's big, pointless words! Anyways, ol' Rawhead terrorizes the trailer trash of the Irish country side, and is stalked by a vengeful archaeologist (I'm scared) whose son was killed by Rex. The key to Rex's destruction lies in the enigmatic stained glass at the local church. It turns out Rawhead was a god (this puss was a god?) worshipped by ancient Pagans who named him Rawhead. Rawhead?! I think they were misquoted! They probably meant to say they worship "Rawhide"! Well, Rawhead is defeated by a radioactive cucumber containing the power of an angel, which may only be released by a woman. But... Rawhead LIVES! He may look like he could apply for senior citizen discounts, but he LIVES! What really made this movie cool was Clive Barker's crazy writing! I mean, anyone that can come up with stuff like Baptism by demon urine is one crazy bastard! And I love crazy bastards! Way to go Clive! The ranting priest was also amusing! Wahoo!

Sequels: Nope
