The Lair of the White Worm (with Lars Henriks)
Listen now
Description
Actor, filmmaker and theatre director Lars Henriks makes a return visit to the oubliette and plucks out Ken Russell's 1988 adaptation of Bram Stoker's The Lair of the White Worm. And what a sight it is to behold: future timelord, Peter Capaldi, charms a vampire/snake monster by playing the bagpipes in regulation kilt; a pre-Four Weddings Hugh Grant chops a woman in half with a broadsword; and the stunning but bewildering Amanda Donohoe drowns a Boy Scout in her jacuzzi and slinks around in snake-themed fetish wear. But crucially, is it actually any good? Find out! Follow Lars Henriks on TikTok, read his reviews on Letterboxd or look at him on Instagram! And check out his new film Covid Metamorphosen – a Christmas romcom that could easily be published in 'Weird Tales' – available for a limited time on Vimeo!
