Revue Cinema in Toronto, Canada present Ken Russell's Lair of the White Worm on 24 October 2026.
"Loosely adapted by Ken Russell from Bram Stoker’s second-best novel (and it is a STEEP decline after Dracula), Lair of the White Worm was roundly panned by critics and its own stars (Hugh Grant remains befuddled about it to this day – “when I saw it, I roared with laughter”) – but has been reclaimed as a cult classic, finally recognized as wildly funny on its own knowing terms, a quality perhaps disguised by Russell’s outre style. As he himself put it, “Audiences don’t realize my films are comedies until the last line has been delivered, and even then, most people don’t appear to get the joke. I would like to state that I actively encourage the audience to laugh along with White Worm".
