1988 Directed by Ken Russell
In a remote corner of England's Peak District, a mysterious skull is unearthed. But even weirder is that Lady Sylvia steals the skull for use in worshiping – very erotically – her pagan god, The White Worm, who hungers for the taste of virginal flesh.

This movie is fucking insane in all the right ways. Hugh Grant wields a giant sword. There are phallic symbols in every scene. There are the silliest dream sequences you can imagine, and there are other parts that look like they could've been the rough draft for the Black Lodge sequences on Twin Peaks. There's an absurdly convoluted backstory, and it manages to fit in snakes, vampires, dragons, the Romans, pagans, and more into an hour and a half.
October count: 14/31.
Oh such beautiful natural landscapes of EnglaNUN RAPE ORGY UNHOLY VISIONS ROMAN COCK SERPENT JESUS FEVER DREAM.
UNBELIEVABLY horny and deranged 5/5
Great early performances by Hugh Grant and Peter Capaldi
peter capaldi excavates a giant skull and screams “YEEHAW” in the first scene and that is the least weird thing that happens in this movie

The Lair of Ken Russell. Entering his cinematic world of sensory assault is always a treat and this is no exception. Lair of the White Worm lives deliciously as a bulbous salutation of folksy eroticism, I love it.
not only a movie about grad school, but also changing your outfit five times in one day. I loved it!
whatever happened to throwing in a cheeky saxophone riff every time there’s a hot lady onscreen
