REVIEW
Russell's intoxicating adaptation of Bram Stoker's final work is a tongue-in-cheek romp into the world of Gothic horror. Donohoe offers up a truly kinky performance as a mysterious snake lady who slithers her way into modern England in search of virgins to feed to her giant worm god. Russell's flair isn't lost as this slimy tale of rampant vampirism oozes with an abundance of camp humor, serpentine symbolism, and just about every daft snake joke in the book -- oh, and let's not forget those requisite Russellian hallucinations.
