The Lair of the White Worm (1988)

Ken Russell's classic piece of Wyrd England, Derbyshire in this case, is a brilliant example of kinky horror. Based on Bram Stoker's story this is a fun ride as Amanda Donohoe's sexy snake woman seduces all she meets - from boy scout to policeman to Peter Capaldi's archaeologist.

Taking in mythology and folklore not to mention monstrous white worms and Hugh Grant too, the whole thing is one of a rare breed of wholly original bonkers horror films and i love it.

Nice to see Grant and i share the similar fantasies. And i don't mean Liz Hurley in a pinned together black dress or blowjobs in the back of a car in LA.

Or maybe i do.

I also partly watched Hammer's Doctor Jekyll and Sister Hyde but i nodded off half way through so that doesn't count.
