The Lair of the White Worm (1988)

What to say about The Lair of the White Worm? It's wonderful, for starters. On the one hand, I wish that I had seen it years ago, and on the other hand, I'm glad that I managed to miss it for all this time, so I could have the joy of experiencing it fresh when it randomly showed up on Netflix the other day

When it comes to Ken Russell, GOTHIC and ALTERED STATES are must-sees. THE DEVILS is a good but difficult film, worth seeing once I suppose.

I think I'll try to track down Gothic next.

while the balance that Lair strikes may or may not be the right balance, it is certainly its own

This might be one of the best sentences ever written in a movie review.

I think my favorite movies to write about are ones that are maybe not good, exactly, but wonderful and ludicrous.
