Quigley / Cast: Amanda Donohoe / Hugh Grant / Catherine Oxenberg / Peter Capaldi / Sammi Davis / Paul Brooke / Stratford Johns / Gina McKee / Christopher Gable / Lloyd Peters // "Dr. Who actor Peter Capaldi plays Angus Flint, an archaeology student who unearths a strange skull from the grounds of a bed & breakfast, where a convent had existed once upon a time. Meanwhile, the seductively sexy young lady Sylvia Marsh (Amanda Donohoe) returns to her neighboring home, and more weird things are soon happening. It turns out, there is a local legend in the area, of a nobleman who'd vanquished a hideous reptilian beast - not literally a 'worm' - centuries ago. Also mixed up in the plot are that nobleman's descendant, James D'Ampton (Hugh Grant), and lovely sisters Mary (Sammi Davis) and Eve (Catherine Oxenberg). The director is Ken Russell of such classics as "The Devils," and he also produced and adapted the novel by "Dracula" creator Bram Stoker. So we know going in to expect a fair amount of outrageousness. Fortunately, this film never does get out of control, but it combines some sober drama with some very campy and sometimes hilarious humor...A truly frightening film this is not, but it's quite entertaining just the same."
