Maybe I was just in the mood, but I sort of enjoyed this even though it's not a very good movie. Ken Russell directed so the fact that the dream/trance sequences in this movie reminded me a lot of the ones he directed in "Altered States" eight years earlier, is not coincidental. I think it's funny how "edgy" directors, artists, celebrities think they are when they make fun of Christianity. They know that they are taking absolutely zero risk but that they will be praised by adoring secularists for being brave or some such thing. In the case of "The Lair of the White Worm" though, whatever message it was trying to relay was muddled and silly.

What a fun and peculiar movie wow. The music is great. It's really horny in a kinda bold way. They cram snake references/metaphors/puns into every moment possible. Everyone really is such a "character." For the whole movie I was either sitting there in awe or laughing. Huge props to Amanda Donohoe. I've gotta read the source material.

I felt a bit dumb because I didn't really understand why everything suddenly popped off. Like, Lady Sylvia had remained in secret for thousands of years then she just started killing all the locals and turning many of them. Was it just because he found that skull? Oh well, this movie certainly was more "funny" than it was scary 😆

Most notable for almost unrecognisably young Peter Capaldi and Hugh Grants But it is really dated, especially with the special effects and drug sequences

The panning scene near the end with the bagpipes is one of my new favorite scenes. The cinematography deeply connected with me, despite following a hilarious scene of the vampire cop mirroring Angus Flint.
