Cult Movies/80s cave movie
Expert: 7devonapes - 12/6/2007
QuestionHi there.. I´m trying to find this old movie I watched on vhs back in the 80s. I
think the Norwegian title was Goliath. The storyline was something like this:
Cave explorers enters a stalagmite cave and encounters albino humanlike beings
and some weird large worms living deep in the cave system. This is not the 2005
movies the descent or the cave!! Any idea? I´m about to give up...
AnswerHi Lasse,
I think the movie you are looking for is called "The Lair of the White Worm" released in 1988. Here is a plot summary from imdb.com:
"Scottish archaelogist Angus Flint discovers an odd skull amid the ruins of a convent which he is excavating. Shortly thereafter, Lady Sylvia Marsh returns to Temple House, a nearby mansion, far earlier than expected. At a party in the village, Angus meets Lord James D'Ampton, who has just inherited his family's lands, right next to Temple House. Angus learns of the D'Ampton Worm, a huge dragon/snake which an earlier D'Ampton killed by cutting it in half. (There's a pretty catchy rock-folk song that tells the D'Ampton Worm legend.) As people begin disappearing and acting strangely over the next day or two, the skull is stolen from Angus' room, and the watch of a missing person is found in a cavern which was the legendary home of the D'Ampton worm. Angus and James discover that there was an ancient cult which worshiped the worm as a god, and theorize that the creature somehow survived its "destruction", but was trapped inside the cavern. The remainder of the movie shows Angus, James, and Mary Trent attempting to stop Lady Marsh from freeing the creature..."
