Written, directed and produced by Ken Russell, The Lair of the White Worm remains a phallic-obsessed journey through an endless barrage of serpent double-entendres by way of Bram Stoker. Russell would...

It is a dark night. The sky is pregnant with distant stars. A lone fire lights the desert canyon wall. Two Native Americans sit next to it. There is chanting. Soon, spirits are inhaled. If the opening...

A girl watches a video. A girl receives a phone call. A girl answers. A girl is told of seven days to live. A girl investigates. A girl knows not why. A girl becomes a no one. Jaqen H'ghar, you are so...
