We asked our volunteers to pick films to show this month and this is one of them!
Loosely based on Bram Stoker’s novel of the same name, Ken Russell’s frenetic fright-fest about a Scottish archaeologist (Peter Capaldi) uncovering the remains of a massive serpent in the Derbyshire countryside—and the odd events that follow this excavation, including the appearance of Hugh Grant as the self-proclaimed heir of a knight of ancient lore—is a riot of dark humor, pagan eroticism, and flamboyantly camp horror that ranks alongside the director’s finest.
