Clive Barker

Clive Barker’s screenwriting debut. Larry Lamb plays Roy Bain, a retired enforcer recruited by a mob boss, to find a missing high-class prostitute. His investigation uncovers a group of mutants living in the London Underground.

I can say this about Rawhead Rex: the plot wastes little time getting started. Slight spoilers follow.

Clive Barker’s debut feature. Frustrated with her effete husband and sedate lifestyle, a woman schemes to aid a former lover on the run from sadomasochistic creatures from another dimension summoned by a magical puzzle box. As one such creature says, “We have such sights to show you!”

The big-bad dangles from an extradimensional entity’s unending tree-trunk-sized penis. And that’s not the film’s most bonkers aspect.

Sometimes, frustrating films are worse than bad ones. Such is the case with The Midnight Meat Train.
