This adaptation of a Bram Stoker novel is a campy bit of folk horror about a villainous pagan priestess who feeds the unsuspecting to the subterranean serpent she worships, and the hapless villagers who battle her, including a young archaeologist, a pair of sisters whose parents are missing, and the foppish local lord. It’s a Ken Russell film, so naturally it’s a subtle piece. Loosely based on the English legend of the Lambton Worm, it's a silly, smutty, absurdist bit of gothic comedy in the vein of An American Werewolf in London, sitting somewhere between a Doctor Who serial and The Wicker Man. Starring Hugh Grant, Peter Capaldi, Amanda Donohoe, Catherine Oxenberg, and Sammi Davis. Written and directed by Ken Russell.
