Viewing Notes

Ken Russell’s The Lair of the White Worm (1988) is one of those films I had always heard about but always passed. But damn this is one trippy horror flick w/the fine, fine Amanda Donohoe as the succubus. There really aren’t words to properly explain this one. If I ever meet Hugh Grant, I will ask him about this film.
