Synopsis

Rawhead  Rex is a demon, alive for millennia, trapped in the depths of
hell, and waiting for release. He is held by an ancient seal, imprisoned for centuries in a barren field near  the  hamlet  of  Rathmore,  Ireland.

In  time,  this  gruesome  legacy  has  been forgotten, dismissed as an
odd pre-Christian myth until Tom Garron decides to plow  the  field  his
ancestors  knew  better  than  to  disturb.  The  seal  is  broken and an
unspeakable evil is unleashedd -- on a rampage of blood and lust.

Howard Hallenbeck, an American historian, discovers  on  the  stained
glass  windows  of  a  local  church  a  series  of scenes illustrating the reign of  terror of Rawhead Rex. But the one piece  of  glass  depicting
the  defeat  of  the  monster  is  missing.  Howard  is  desperate  for an
answer -- for Rawhead Rex is on the loose, and he is insatiable!
