 The Lair of the White Worm (1988)
Lord James D'Ampton (Hugh Grant) meets Angus at a party where they discuss the legend of the "white worm," which was killed by an ancestor of D'Ampton (an energetic Pogues style band helps explain the legend in song).
Lair may border on farce at times, but Russell supplies plenty of real scares and suspense as well; how well all this holds up against the original Bram Stoker source material may be subject to debate, but it makes for a very entertaining movie experience.
Lair of the White Worm may be showing its age a little, but it's still a fun outing that wastes little time in advancing the plot or dispatching extraneous characters.

 Lair of the White Worm
A gorgeous neighbor (Donohoe) who has moved into the chateau nearby happens to be a blood-sucking vampire who wants to sacrifice a virgin to this giant, monstrous white worm, which is still alive and well in a cave nearby.
Many aren't going to understand the wit of "Lair of the White Worm." But for those with enough intelligence, this will be a kick-ass movie, up there with "Nadja" as a subtle, quirky, witty, off-beat horror flick that successfully spoofs the whole genre and Russell's own work at the same time.
I especially enjoyed the nightmare sequence featuring ravished nuns the worm wrapped around the crucified body of Christ, a scene reminiscent of Russell's "The Devils." Donohoe delivers a wonderfully wry performance as the vampire bitch.

Lady Sylvia's secret is that she's the keeper of the Lair of ye olde family worm, a distant cousin of the Loch Ness Monster who's been trapped underground all these years, surviving on an occasional diet of virgins.
Still, Donohoe's always interesting to watch, at her funniest when she's charmed out of an oversized basket and slithers out the door as an old 78 is played through speakers on the roof of Lord D'Ampton's estate.
Lair of the White Worm is rated R and contains nudity, profanity, sacrilege, gory effects and a bundle of unintentional laughs

 Scifilm -- Reviews, LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM (1988)
Russell felt that Lair was "...a good idea written by someone who didn't have the capacity to properly put it on paper." (Russell was likely not knocking Stoker's basic writing ability, simply stating a fact, that Stoker was not in the best of mental health).
It was a six inch worm with four spindly legs, two feathery wings and nine holes in its head.
LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM is sort of a (skewed) Hammer film as filtered through the self-professed madness of Ken Russell.

It's about a giant white snake who has lived in a series of subterranean English caves and caverns since Roman times, fed by a cult of immortal snake-worshippers who bring it virgins.
The Lair of the White Worm (1988), according to IMDB, and every reviewer I checked, is a Corman-style horror/exploitation film directed by Ken Russell, and most wonder why the hell he made it.
Seems there was a famous worm slain by Grant's ancestors, and wormpyre Amanda Donohoe is a modern day worshiper of the beastie.

The farmhouse is home to the Trent sisters, who have granted Angus permission to conduct his research on their grounds as he believed it to have once been an old Roman settlement.
The finding of the skull was not something he expected and he starts to investigate the local legend of the White Worm - which is actually more akin to a serpent or dragon rather than the common earthworm.
Apparently she is a worshipper of the worm god and wants the skull in order to conduct a ceremony to revive the legendary worm, which lays dormant in one of the nearby caves.

Corman would have found "The Lair of the White Worm" on the shelf right next to "Dracula"; both books were written by the same strange man, Bram Stoker.
The strangest thing about "The Lair of the White Worm" is that, by his standards, it is rather straight and square.
What I will say for "The Lair of the White Worm" is that this is a respectable B-grade monster movie, more tame and civilized than the Mad Slasher movies that have all but destroyed the genre.

 DVD Answer Man | DVD Movies and Reviews | The Lair of the White Worm
James and Angus set out to investigate the cavern said to be the worm’s lair from centuries ago.
The monster is supposedly a combination of a worm and a vampire — I don’t know — more of a lesbian cross-dressing vampire, you figure it out if you want.
Presented in widescreen with poor sound to match the quality of the pictures transfer, The Lair of the White Worm was a disappointment to this reviewer from start to finish — and believe me, it was a difficult task to sit through the entire film.

 Amazon.com: The Lair of the White Worm: Books: Stoker, Bram   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Stoker himself had suffered a stroke which nearly killed him, and in 1912 he died, about one year after the publication of `White Worm.' There are shadows of death hanging over the book, which shows the clear sign of deteriorating health of the writer.
`The Lair of the White Worm' can be rephrased as `The Lady is a White Snake.' The book is about Adam, one young man coming back from Sydney, who finds that an enormous white snake dwells in the cave (in the basement of a mansion near the house where Adam lives with his grand-uncle).
It has been said that Ken Russell's 1980s cinematic adaptation of Bram Stoker's "classic", "The Lair of the White Worm", is a travesty of the original, a betrayal of the source material.

To destroy such a monster is something like one of the labours of Hercules, in that not only its size and weight and power of using them in little- known ways are against you, but the occult side is alone an unsurpassable difficulty.
The Worm is already master of all the elements except fire--and I do not see how fire can be used for the attack.

The discovery coincides with the return to the area of local Lord James D'Ampton (Hugh Grant), on whose property the sister's house is situated, as well as the return of Lady Sylvia Marsh (Amanada Donahoe), the mysterious owner of a brooding castle.
It was and distant past relation of Lord James who reputedly was the slayer of the dreaded white worm.
Reputedly based on a story by Bram Stoker, Lair of the White Worm is a Ken Russell film, which pretty much says it all.

I did have a couple of spare moments and collapsed in the home theater (a salute to Christmas in Saudi Arabia with lots of miniature oil wells outlined in green and red bulbs) with the remote and the cable channels.
One film I was able to catch in its entirety without falling asleep was Ken Russell's The Lair of the White Worm from 1988 starring the young Hugh Grant.
Hugh Grant is a young Scottish Laird who is descended from a family known in local legend to have killed a local dragon, the Dampton worm some centuries ago.

She was clad in some kind of soft white stuff, which clung close to her form, showing to the full every movement of her sinuous figure.

The story is about a woman who lives in a mansion in England and it’s rumored that there’s a big white snake living in the caves under the house.
By the end of the book, the house is blown up and kills the snake (the white worm) with it.
We chose a white color this time instead of fl, which bands like us tend to do, but it fits to the atmosphere of the songs and the album and it is at least something different.

 DVD Verdict Review - The Lair Of The White Worm
And yes, it is about a great white worm that lives in a moist cave, guarded over by the slinky Amanda Donohoe, who has as much fun as the rest of the cast slithering around pretending this is a serious vampire movie.
The actual horror parts, including some graphic hallucinations of a monstrous crucifixion and the titular worm itself, are deliberately cheesy.
The Lair of the White Worm can be a lot of fun, one of those silly movies that succeeds in spite of own excessive vigor.

 deseretnews.com - Movie review: The Lair of the White Worm | Deseret Morning News Web edition
Loosely based on "Dracula" author Bram Stoker's last novel, "Lair" is set in the present day, though it has the most gothic look of any movie since.
The police have turned up no clues, though, strangely, no one suspects the Lady (Amanda Donohoe) who lives in the otherwise deserted mansion in that area, despite her exhibiting vampire tendencies.
Maybe that's because she also exhibits snake tendencies, and we soon learn she is apparently a vampire/snake/witch of some sort, worshiping the dreaded legendary worm and in need of a virgin sacrifice to feed it.

 dOc DVD Review: The Lair of the White Worm (1988)
Eve endures a frightening hallucination, and the search for the Trent girls' parents, who had mysteriously vanished a year prior, is reinitiated when their father's watch is recovered from a cavern rumored to be the lair of the great white worm.
The legend of the White Worm is exposed through the lyrics of a song during the opening party, and the various dream sequences and rare gore is explicit and no holds barred, rife with sacrilegious and phallic imagery.
With its improved transfer, Artisan's reissue of Lair of the White Worm is a justifiable upgrade for fans, but those wishing for a definitive edition will want to procure or hang on to the old Pioneer disc for its superior extras.

 Foster on Film - Vampires: Lair of the White Worm   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
That tells you what to expect from Lair of the White Worm, a cult favorite from director Ken Russell.
The Pogues-like song, The D'Ampton Worm, played at a party scene is a treat and sets the mood.
It has bodies lopped in half, a nude serpent vampire girl painted blue, gory bites, seduction and drowning of a boy scout, blasphemy and religious desecration, nuns raped and impaled on pikes, a giant strap-on phallus, and all with a sense of humor.
