Saved cows and calves by making halves of that famous Lambton Worm
Oh, my God, The Lair of the White Worm (1988) is not a good movie. I mean, nunsploitation with terrible bluescreen effects. Plot exposition plus Freudian crosswords. Peter Capaldi with a mongoose apparently stashed in his sporran. (All together now: or are you just happy to see me . . .) I imagine the anachronistic slander of the Emperor Carausius does not even rank among the problems most viewers have with this film, but what do you want from me? I read The Silver Branch (1957) in high school.
It was, nonetheless, a remarkably entertaining way to spend an evening with two friends who do not have livejournals, even if I may never get those synapses back. Next time, I insist on watching a movie with actual, you know, continuity. And better values of human sacrifice.

Wiah I did! Like The Shout, The Devils is thisclose to being a sort of lost film. I'd love to have both it and Gothic, even if I had to pick them up on video--they'd go straight on the "gotta have!"" list, along with a copy of Trouble Every Day. Video Watchdog did a pretty amazing spotlight issue on The Devils, though, and I have that--otherwise, I'm working off memories of a screening I saw at some indie circuit festival years and years back.

Oh, my God, the Harvard Film Archive is showing The Shout two weeks from now. Want to come to Boston?

It's not even on DVD from the BFI. Man . . .
