Movie review - The Lair of the White Worm (1988)

Incredible. So much hilarious innuendo, explicit horniness, kink, pagan blasphemy, and so many snakes. There were very few points where I could anticipate what was coming next. Loved it.

Amanda Donohoe was excellent and gorgeous, but I was captivated by Hugh Grant's and Peter Capaldi's amazing hair. I was not familiar with young Peter Capaldi's game in general, I may need to look for his other early work, purely for research purposes. Also will be looking at the rest of Ken Russell's catalogue -- pretty sure I've watched some, particularly Altered States, but a good prompt to (re)visit.

My lingering question from this film is: where did the mongoose come from?

Rating: 4.0 out of 5.
