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!
