Lair Of The White Worm
It's hard to believe, but 2013 is the twenty fifth anniversary of The Lair Of The White Worm, Ken Russell's fun horror movie that's an enjoyable riff on old Hammer horror films with its outrageous imagery. Like this:
There are nightmarish dream sequences throughout the film with nuns impaled on stakes, and the like, but the really wild (and fun) stuff comes at the end, when Lady Sylvia (Amanda Donohoe) tries to sacrifice Eve (Katherine Oxenburg) to the big snake in the well.
The fact that Eve is tied up barefoot and clad only in her underwear makes this one a plus for me. But although she's fully dressed, Sammi Davis still joins in on the bondage fun, too. Fans of Doctor Who might want to give this a look-see for an early peek at Peter Capaldi, who will be taking over the role of the good Doctor in 2014. This movie basically got something for everyone.
You can view the clip (by Sam) right here.
I saw this film while pretty young and I was totally drawn to this final scene. I think it might have inspired my future love of bondage, peril, & damsels in distress. Katherine Oxenburg looked so gorgeous, bound in that great hands over head position, and there were a few great close-up shots of her bound bare feet.
ReplyDeleteIt's one of my all-time favorite films just for this scene.
