The Lair of the White Worm

Movie • 1988 • Comedy  

Report
In a remote corner of England's Peak District, a mysterious skull is unearthed. But even weirder is that Lady Sylvia steals the skull for use in worshiping - very erotically - her pagan god, The White Worm, who hungers for the taste of virginal flesh.

The titular "worm" is also referred to as a dragon and might be considered a wqingless dragon.
There is also large painting of it being slain by a knight in the style of paintings of Saint George that's integral to the plot.

I would say yes. Nuns at the crucifixion are beaten and raped by Roman warriors. Not at all historically sane (why would there be nuns at the crucifixion??? Wtf???) but deeply unkind to women.

There is a scene where two character analyze an artistic depiction of a figure that has both breasts and a penis. Unclear if it's intended as a trans or intersex person, or just metaphorical. This figure is part of the antagonistic cult, and they theorize that the cult would have idealized people with traits of both sexes, and compare intersex people to worms.

At the very end there is a brief scene inside a hospital, but a room for record keeping or a study or similar, not a patient treatment area. It doesn't really look like a hospital and you only see a nurse on the phone.

Yes, in the sense that the villain claims to be schizophrenic and to have phobia of snakes at one point. The phobia is a lie, and the schizophrenia is probably a lie too.

The whole premise of the movie is full of antisemitic dogwhistles, from blood libel to satanic reptilian cults to the implication that this cult killed Jesus and caused the fall of Rome - it would be impossible to just skip certain scenes. Jews are never specifically mentioned at any point, but considering that the movie was based on a novel by the notoriously antisemitic Bram Stoker, it's hard to ignore.
