The Lair of the White Worm Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Russell was once, and no doubt will be again, considered an important director. This is the sort of exercise he could film with one hand tied behind his back, and it looks like that was indeed more or less his approach.
Slasherpool
Andreas Samuelson
Fun-filled, oddball British vampire flick
Lawrence Journal-World
Jon Niccum
Equal parts awful and hypnotic

Gleefully over the top - Ken Russell's last good movie.

Gerry Shamray
Effective, unique horror movie.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Christianity and paganism clash in Ken Russell's campy The Lair of the White Worm.
Apollo Guide
Ed Gonzalez
Cheap effects and gratuitous displays of nudity only heighten the film's delirious demeanor.
Film Comment Magazine
April Wolfe
What's so wonderful about Russell's quintessential female villain is that she embodies a sense that evil has no gender. It has no feelings. It simply is, and it's quite fun to get to know it.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
An almost perfect savvy blend of horror and comedy that both honors the horror genre while standing it on its head.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
One of the worst films I've ever seen.

Emma Wolfe
Really pleasantly surprised by it... it's just a fun, weird. movie.
Ty Burr's Watch List
Ty Burr
Russell's version of a horror film, and an over-the-top hoot it is - perfect for an All Hallow's Eve drinking game or for terrifying the neighbor kids by projecting it onto the side of your house.
