8/10
Tasteless fun, naked snake-vampires & Hugh Grant.

Warning: Spoilers
Even by the lactose standards of cheesy movies, this is one deliriously kinky Casu Marzu. A Ken Russell spin on the Lambton Worm legend, this has a smorgasbord of tasteless fun and slumming stars.

Peter Capaldi (looking about eighteen years old) digs up a mysterious lizard skull, while harbouring the hots for Sammi Davis. Meanwhile, Sammi's sister is falling for the charms of a young Hugh Grant, who seems to be having a lot of fun with his incredibly fruity aristo role. Stratford Johns, as his butler, could have had more screen time, because he's excellent.

Enter Amanda Donohoe, as an immortal snake goddess, who wants to use the magic powers of the skull to supplant the impostor religion of Christianity. She's naked or nearly naked a lot of the time, but you expect that from a combination of her and Ken Russell, really. Early on, she bites a boy scout on his, ahem, woggle, so we can be reassured that good taste is right out of the window.

Chuck in flashbacks to the crucifixion, with added naked nuns plus Donohoe in blue body-paint, fellating a scrimshaw dildo, and we are under way. The bagpipe v vampire battle is a classic of the genre and much fun is had by all.

How does the mythical beastie get deaded in the end? Well, a true Scotsman always has something useful in his sporran. But will the future of Christianity be doomed by an NHS paperwork mix-up after all?

This is an hilarious, kinky mess. Watch it!
