When you see a movie titled Rawhead Rex, you're not expecting frickin' Gone With the Wind. However, I wasn't expecting such an amazing shitfest.
The movie takes place in Ireland, the land of leprechauns, U2, potato famines, and religious strife. There's a huge rock shaped like a penis in this farmer's field, so he tears it down. This unleashes a nine foot tall monster named, you guessed it, Rawhead Rex. Rex is the most pathetic monster I've ever seen. He looks like the unholy offspring of Dee Snider and one of Disney's Gargoyles. It's a guy in a rubber costume. His mouth doesn't move. His eyes are little red lights, like the ones you'd find on L.A. Gear sneakers. In other words, prepare to laugh your ass off whenever this glam rock muppet makes an appearance.
Anywho, he kills a lot of people. This is filmed poorly and acted out even worse. After attacking a trailer park, and attacking a church, and attacking some cops and attacking a couple that was gettin' it on in the woods, an American decides he's had enough of this attacking bullshit. He uses a little statue of a fat bitch that shoots lazers out of her genitalia, instantly sending Rex back to Hell.
There is one much ballyhooed scene where Rawhead decides to piss on a priest's head. It should've been hilarious, but even this is done so badly that it makes you want to throw a lamp through your TV when you see it. |
