Based On theiNovel byiBram Stoker
Hugh Grant, Amanda Donohoe and Catherine Oxenberg star in this mix of heart-stopping horror and campy humor. James D'Ampton (Grant) returns to his country castle in England. Legend has it that James's distant ancestor once slayed the local dragon - a monstrous white worm with a fondness for the sweet flesh of virgins. The young lord dismisses the legend as folklore, until an archaeology student, Angus Flint, unearths a massive reptilian skull and the ancient worship site of a pagan snake god on the lord's property.
When his virtuous girlfriend, Eve (Oxenberg), suddenly disappears, he and Angus set out to investigate the foreboding cavern said to be the worm's lair, where a centuries-old mystery begins to uncoil.

"Let's stop for a bite" - 4 out of 5 (4/23/2009)
Let's see...outrageous story, outrageous characters, outrageous colors, humor and symbolism. If you guessed it had to be a Ken Russell movie, you guessed right.
Underrated by the critics and the theater-going public at the time of its original release, the movie's stature has grown tremendously in the past decade.
Sadly, this Pioneer release is the only version with the director's commentary, and it's now OOP (out of print). Used copies are still available but are becoming difficult to
