Reviews for The Lair of the White Worm
Cheap effects and gratuitous displays of nudity only heighten the film's delirious demeanor.
Christianity and paganism clash in Ken Russell's campy The Lair of the White Worm.
Half-serious and half-mocking, this film occupies a confused area where it isn't exactly sure what it is.
