A film hasn’t ticked as many SFFCH boxes as Lair of the White Worm has in a while. Big actors before they were famous, laughable dream sequences, a ridiculous villain, cheap special effects, unplaceable accents, a peculiar theme song and the seemingly inability to settle on a tone between: comedy or horror, serious or wacky, gothic or modern, dark or quaint. It even adds some new boxes that we didn’t even know that we needed like: climactic heroic bagpipe playing, sleeping in a big wicker basket and taking the idea of snake charming to its extreme.
Spoiler Filled Film Conversation, Hooray!
