  A very good, odd British horror comedy!

  Dood. Ohmygod, do you guys ever watch American Dad? I know exactly how Roger feels about Chockodiles. This is the best movie since sliced bread. Words cannot express how unfathomably amused I was by this movie. It's insane, but it knows how insane it is, and it punctuates its… More
  Dood. Ohmygod, do you guys ever watch American Dad? I know exactly how Roger feels about Chockodiles. This is the best movie since sliced bread. Words cannot express how unfathomably amused I was by this movie. It's insane, but it knows how insane it is, and it punctuates its nuttiness with hot chicks and brilliant banter, just in case you weren't already on board. It's a fascinating twist on vampires, since these monsters aren't exactly undead. They're more like venomous immortal snake women who serve this ancient god, and can infect you with thier... hotness? Malevolence? It doesn't matter. Sylvia Marsh is one of my new favorite cinema villains, and she genuinely has a ton of fun exploiting the local archaelogical breakthroughs and generally bringing her evil to the simple townspeople. Snake woman, trippy imagery, valliant swordsmen and the angry angry Scottish dude from In The Loop. I dare you not to get a kick out of this movie. I dare you. My friend who let me this on DVD is totally not getting it back.

  I liked the Idea with Pagan Snake, its like Medusa. more later

  A phantasmagorical and deliberately overblown tale of pagan snake worshippers in modern Britain. Ken Russel's least self-important film, and also his most fun outing.

  i'm not even sure how to rate this. it's hilariously bad. i don't know if it was meant to be a comedy but it is entertaining on that level, especially the special effects! also it's not hugh grant's worst film lol. i don't even wanna think about the… More

  Based on the novel by Bram Stoker, this is part vampire story, part mystery, and part tongue-in-cheek sex caper. Drive-in style special effects, insane narrative and outlandish sexual imagery along with sick laughs are all what you should expect with any Ken Russell film. <a… More

  Bizarre!! Amanda Donohue seems to be having a good time though.

• Stuart B

  
  Oh dear its bad, no its worse than bad, its terrible.

• Dr Blood  

  
  More of a comedy than a horror but there are some memorable gory scenes which have little to do with the Bram Stoker novel.

• xGary X

  
  Typically trashy and tasteless rubbish from Ken Russell. Dimwitted religious imagery, raped nuns, Amanda donohoe getting her baps out as usual and Hugh Grant. Occasionally unintentionally hiarious, true , but come on...

• Dean M

  
  Worst horror with the discovery of a mysterious skull attracts the attention of Amanda Donohoe. She's the head of a sinister vampire worm cult - which doesn't believe in overdoing the clothing.

  Dreadful

  Near the top of my guilty pleasure list. Not as much scary as weird with a young Hugh Grant developing his trademark hem-haw style and a stunning Amanda Donohoe as the dryly witty rich lady with a dark, ancient secret. Leonard Maltin encapsulates it best: "Bizarre, campy, and… More
  Near the top of my guilty pleasure list. Not as much scary as weird with a young Hugh Grant developing his trademark hem-haw style and a stunning Amanda Donohoe as the dryly witty rich lady with a dark, ancient secret. Leonard Maltin encapsulates it best: "Bizarre, campy, and altogether outlandish." After I read that, I knew I had to see it!
