Amazing how quickly Ken Russell degenerated to this level of schlock! I loved it! First saw this many years ago when Russell's reputation as a daring and innovative and iconoclastic film maker was just beginning to wear thin. With this movie he demonstrates the aptness of his fall from grace. Some of the acting is deliciously bad. The directing is phoned in. The story is salacious and clunky and pure schlock. Very enjoyable as long as you know what you are going to get.... An art movie this is not.

If you're not a diehard Ken Russell fan, my hunch is you probably won't be overly impressed with The Lair of the White Worm. It's hard to take the film's "scare tactics" very seriously when so much of the film is so resolutely ridiculous, but at the same time it's hard to accept the film's anarchic humor without a contextual understanding of Russell's tendency to poke and prod the powers that be (religious and/or otherwise). If you are a Russell fan, my hunch is you'll be willing to overlook the film's deficits and simply delight in the hallucinatory ambience Russell weaves, as well as the wonderfully over the top story the film has to tell. One way or the other, this is another release where the supplementary material may be of as much and maybe even more interest than the actual film.

This is one fun, funny, and bizarre little horror flick from Vestron that has long been obscure and out of print. It's been brought back with a wonderful transfer and a nice selection of extras for the avid horror fan or anyone looking for something a little silly, a little sexy, and a smell of a good time.

I've been buying all the Lionsgate Vestron Collector Series blurays (most from Best Buy, too) and so far all the releases have had two things that were constant to me, great transfers and awesome special features. This release had those two things but seemed light on the special features compared to the other releases. It does have great extras just got spoiled with the other releases.

This is a must have film if you like cheesy 80's films like myself. This is just one of many films in the Vestron Collectors Series. If you love low budget horror films from the 80's you should buy this. Caught this on sale and couldn't pass it up.

Director Ken Russell's films (ALTERED STATES, THE DEVILS) may not be for everyone, but this is a fun ride. Early Hugh Grant film features Peter Capaldi (Dr. Who) as some kind of cryptozoologist/anthropologist exploring Roman ruins in Britain.

I waited many years for this film to hit blu ray and now that it has I am so happy! The quality of the film in it's visuals/audio are top notch and there's plenty of special features to keep us occupied. A great contribution to my collection.

Ken Russell's trippy vampire film, the Lair of the White Worm is a perfect addition to any horror movie nerds collection. Vestron nailed it out of the park with this one!

Very cool movie. If you know Ken Russell's movies you will definitely like this. Or if you just dig strange stuff.

Solid 90's effort from Ken Russell, never actually saw it until I purchased this. really enjoyed the film and extras.

This movie is a little offbeat, but if you like the movie, this version is a must own. The only reason I put in 4 stars is because this movie isn't for everyone.

Awesome restoration job and great new transfer of this classic. Highly recommend this edition and brand new supements for new edition. Enjoy

Another great release from Lionsgate's Vestron line. Great transfer and good bonus material.

Obscure classic gets A+ treatment. Great release. Get it.

It's a classic and it's great to see this Vestron line releasing some titles we never thought's we see on the format.

Great movie and Im glad to see more vestron video movies getting put on blu ray

Unusual movie that I remembered from the 80's with best price could find.

Wild, bizarre, and a lot of fun. This classic 80's horror is a total trip.

A great film with a so-so special features. Better love the film, alot.
