The Lair of the White Worm is an incredibly hard film to classify. It covers just about every genre as it slithers to an incredibly tongue-in-cheek climax. I would place The Lair of the White Worm into the horror genre, because that seems to be the overlying theme, but that doesn’t mean there’s not a lot else going on underneath the surface. Ken Russell (director of the criminally overlooked The Devils) takes Bram Stoker’s classic novel, and gives it a modern touch-up, bringing the horrors of the White Worm into the present day. Because Ken Russell made the film, viewers can expect ridiculously over-the-top scenes with a sprinkling of dark humor and some intense violence; but it all looks beautiful.
