The Lair of the White Worm

I tell ya, that Ken Russell must have had some serious shit happen in his childhood and no doubt some of it happened in church...I mean... how else would you explain the fucked up imagery in his work. Based on an obscure short story by Bram Stoker THE LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM is by no means a good film but it certainly does have it's charms and one of them is Amanda Donohoe running around in her little leather bondage outfit, another would be the big screen debut of Catherine Oxenberg. How the hell Hugh Grant ended up this little yarn about a giant snake worshiping cult is beyond me but he does add the mix. As a story, forget it, but a sexually surreal romp this Russell vision will deliver the goods.
