* EvenEvilHasStandards: Rawhead kills anybody unlucky enough to either come across him or be in his path, but spares the life of a woman once he discovers she is pregnant.
* EvilIsHammy: Ronan Wilmot is clearly having a ball chewing the scenery as Declan O'Brien, the Priest that Rawhead corrupts to serve him.



* IdiotBall: Zigzagged; Howard Hollenbeck pulls the car over and allows his daughter to walk a significant distance across a field to wee behind a bush, even though he knows full well a rampaging monster out for blood is on the loose. Even more baffling, the road and field are seperated by a large brick wall only feet from the car, so she can have easily gone wee right beind the wall. The zigzagging comes in when this does not result in her being killed; [[spoiler: a dead rabbit spooks her, her mom and dad come running over, leaving the son behind in the car who becomes Rawhead's next victim]].



* LaserGuidedKarma: Dep. Insp. Isaac Gissing, under Rawhead's control, blows up several police cars and causes several officers under his command to burn alive. He himself catches fire and burns to death before Rawhead can indoctrinate him.

Added DiffLines:

* GothicHorror: A typical aspect considering it's the brainchild of Creator/CliveBarker after all, though that aspect is downplayed in this film adaptation of his short story compared to Barker's later movies. Otherwise, it can be considered to be a gothic monster movie.

[[redirect:Literature/RawheadRex]]Rawhead Rex is the filmed version of the short story that was adapted into film in 1986. The film has a dubious reputation for certain reason and changes made within the production.

Our main story still mostly stays the same. An evil monster with a hunger for children has been unleashed from his underground prison and boy does he have some plans.



!!Examples from the film adaptation:
* AchillesHeel: Rawhead still has his.
* AdaptationalModesty: Rawhead resembles an ogre that's dressed for a heavy metal concert, whereas in the short story it was a naked being which was essentially a giant walking penis (with its own penis).
* TheFilmOfTheBook: Adaption of the short Story.
* InfantImmortality: Still very much averted.
* MonsterDelay: Averted, it was Creator/CliveBarker's intent to make the monster as visible as possible early in the film.
* LargeHam: Declan plays this role.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Rawhead has a pair of glowing red eyes.
* SinisterMinister: Declan is a preist that falls under the control of the titular Rawhead Rex.
* SomeoneToRememberHimBy: A heavily pregnant woman is inexplicably spared by the monster. Her husband? Not so much.
