RAWHEAD REX (1986)

RAWHEAD REX doesn't mess around. Right from the beginning, he's kicking ass and ripping people's faces off!

A farmer in Ireland is clearing a field when he comes across some big rock with ancient-looking writing on it. A normal person would maybe call a museum or a lawyer or something, but nope, not this genius. This guy knocks it over and out pops Rawhead Rex like a fucking jack-in-the-box! Boom! He's been buried down there forever, so to make up for lost time, he runs around for the rest of the movie killing everybody he sees. The only break he takes from stomping mudholes in people's asses is when he urinates on a priest! That's awesome.

I enjoyed RR when it came out 300 years ago, but it’s pretty dated nowadays. Rawhead still looks cool though in an 80's monster kind of way, fait amount of violence, quick tits, average pace, a beautiful Irish countryside setting, less than good acting.  RAWHEAD REX is worth checking out for fans of 1980’s monster movies.

Question: why didn't Rawhead kill the pregnant woman? I thought for sure he was going to jump on her belly like it was trampoline and shoot the fetus out her butthole, but then the scene just cuts off. Did I miss something?
