THE LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM (1988) ¢ ¢ ¢
D: Ken Russell
Amanda Donohoe, Hugh Grant, Catherine Oxenberg,
Sammi Davis, Peter Capaldi, Stratford Johns
The old dark cave where evil lurks . . . the wicked priestess preparing the ritual sacrifice to honor the undead . . . the innocent maiden, stripped to her underwear, writhing at the end of a rope . . . and waiting in the pit below, the legendary monster, the White Worm . . . A lurid, tongue-in-cheek horror show, based on Bram Stoker's last novel and catered by Ken Russell, who never did anything, except to excess. Donohoe bares more than her fangs as the sleek, serpentine vampire.
