Amanda Donohoe as Lady Sylvia
Paganism is pitted against Christianity in this adaptation of Bram Stoker's The Garden of Evil. When Lady Sylvia "the fanged princess" arrives in contemporary England, no one is safe. Our four heroes are the Trent sisters, archeologist Angus, who finds a huge skull in their backyard, and Lord James (Hugh Grant), the local pooh-bah who's still investigating the disappearances.

Trivia
Amanda Donohoe punched out an obsessed fan of her boyfriend Adam Ant when the fan held him at knife point on British TV.
Replacing Jerry Hall as "Mrs. Robinson" on the London stage in The Graduate.
Biography from Leonard Maltin's Movie Encyclopedia: Silky-seductive, coolly attractive British actress who often plays sexually provocative characters. She's best known to big-screen audiences as a delightfully campy snake goddess in Ken Russell's The Lair of the White Worm (1988), and as Sammi Davis' lesbian lover in The Rainbow (1989), another Russelldirected opus. Donohoe first impressed moviegoers as the free-spirited sensualist in Nicolas Roeg's Castaway (1986), an awful film but a stunning showcase for her. She joined the cast of TV's "L.A. Law," again cast as a lesbian, in 1990, and stayed for two seasons.
