The Lair Of The White Worm - 1988 - 7/10

In rural England, archeologist (Peter Capaldi) unearths a large, mysterious skull.
Afterward, the sleepy village seems to rouse.
Lady Sylvia (a sinuous Amanda Donohoe) returns to Temple House.
Young Lord D’Ampton (Hugh Grant) participates in the village fete and cuts the gigantic snake in two, as did his ancestor.
Disappearances, deaths, and bewitchings.
Ken Russell’s campy horror is massively entertaining, if you are one for wry humor.
Sexy, wicked, blasphemous, laced with innuendo. Steeped, not so much with Stoker, but rather Oscar Wilde.
Almost as much fun, Russell’s commentary.
Ophidiophobics, slither yourselves far away from this one.
