The Lair of the White Worm (film)


The Lair of the White Worm is a 1988 British horror film based loosely on the Bram Stoker novel of the same name and drawing upon the English legend of the Lambton Worm. The film was written and directed by Ken Russell and stars Amanda Donohoe and Hugh Grant.

When the pocket watch of the Trent sisters father, who disappeared a year earlier near Temple House, the stately home of Lady Sylvia Marsh Amanda Donohoe, is found miles away in Stonerich Cavern, James thinks the legendary creature may still be alive deep beneath the cavern.The enigmatic Lady Sylvia is the immortal priestess to the snake god Dionin, which, as James suspected, survives beneath the house in the caves which connect with Stonerich Cavern. She steals the skull and later abducts Eve to be the latest sacrificial offering to her god, but her actions are discovered and Angus with the help of James manages to rescue Eve and destroy both Sylvia and the worm but the two are both contaminated, and so will be carrying on the snakelike vampiric condition. ........
