In a remote corner of England's lavish Peak District, a mysterious skull is unearthed. But even more mysterious is the snakelike Lady Sylvia who steals the skull, then engages in erotic worship of her pagan god, The White Worm, who hungers for the taste of virginal flesh.

Critiques (1)
A B-grade horror film based on a lesser-known literary work by Bram Stoker, written in the spirit of classic gothic romance. Director Ken Russell modernized and adapted it, particularly infusing it with an erotic charge. Thanks to skillful direction, the film is watchable, although the screenplay is confused and frankly quite silly. The attractive cast emphasizes physical allure rather than outstanding acting performances. Overall impression: 50%.
