Amanda Donohoe as evil babe Sylvia Marsh in Lair of the White Worm

Year : 1988

In 1988 movie Lair of the White Worm. Actress Amanda Donohoe plays as villainess Sylvia Marsh. We first see Sylvia 14 minutes, her charisma is insane, she reminds me of Gus from Breaking Bad.. Amanda Donohoe is a legend.

Around 20 minutes, she spread her venom on the statue of Jesus LOL..

Around 23 minutes the movie basically using the snake as icon of Satan, and heathen on how they defile the righteous and how Jesus died to save the world and such.. Ok, let's talk about the symbolism of the snake, the snake around the sun disk, it may represent the ancient theory of the infinity of the universe, it's possible that it a represent a christian rejection of the theory, but it's more interesting than that, what if the snake doesn't eat itself around the sun disk, what if that only he you see it due to the restrictions we have as human to understand the reality of the world? What if the snake was climbing and your misunderstanding of it make you think that it's eating its tail? That's totally different story, it can only mean the existence of multiple parallel worlds..

Around 28 minutes, we see Sylvia Marsh again..

39 minutes in, this movie is how movies should be, you just keep watching, you are curious, you are entertained, Amanda Donohoe performance is insane.. Amanda Donohoe carrying the film on their shoulders, you know how hard this is? This is a star, when you have the character carrying the whole movie, you have a star, even if they are super famous, that's why if a superstar really want to help a young star to be introduced to public, make them playing a good memorable villains would be a reasonable idea.. Amanda Donohoe seems to really having fun in this movie LOL..

The scene around 53 minutes, is one of the most powerful scenes in history of cinema, I can't even describe how insanely good this scene is..

Around 1 hour 19 minutes our villainess kills Angus Flint, this is one of the greatest scenes, you should hate her, but you can't you have such strong contradiction that can never be replicated with any other character, like I said, villaines are uncut gems..

The final confrontation starts around 1 hour 22 minutes, but apparently Angus isn't dead.

I don't know, is there any other character in this movie I would watch the movie for if not Sylvia Marsh? I don't think so, Sylvia Marsh is the movie, like, this is in the 80s, and Amanda Donohoe carried a whole movie by herself.. This movie is a mixture of the vampire genre, and have elements that led to creating movies like The Mummy, but unlike The Mummy this one is kind of heavy on religion, and attacking heathenism, as the Christianity is the savior of humanity, and let's be honest, that's what the vampire is built on, yet everyone love vampires as artistic concept even if they aren't christian.

The efforts required to make this movie is insane, Sylvia Marsh keep changing her outfits to suit the environment, and the way she acts is crazy, it require insane efforts even if most people wouldn't notice it, but they will surely feel it and would feel how different and unique this movie is.

I can't believe I watched Liar Liar and didn't even notice such huge actress, I kind of feel bad TBH, I have to rewatch Liar Liar..
