The Lair of the White Worm ★★★ 1988 (R) Scottish archaeologist uncovers a strange skull, and then a bizarre religion to go with it, and then a very big worm.

Adapted from Bram Stoker's last writings, done while he was going mad from Bright's disease. Everything you'd expect from Russell. 93m/C VHS, DVD. GB Amanda Donohoe, Sammi Davis, Catherine Oxenberg, Hugh Grant, Peter Capaldi, Stratford Johns, Paul Brooke, Christopher Gable; Director: Ken Russell; Writer: Ken Russell; Writer: Dick Bush; Cameo: Stanislas Syrewicz.
