Medusa

About This Movie

Medusa (1998) offers a curious blend of fantasy and horror, steeped in a modern twist on the ancient myth. The film's atmosphere is thick with suspense, as Perseus, the unlikely hero, navigates a world where men are inexplicably turning into statues. The practical effects create an eerie realism that enhances the haunting visuals, especially the scenes with the long-haired women – there's a distinct sense of dread that permeates the narrative. Pacing can be uneven, but it contributes to the unsettling tone. The performances are intriguingly offbeat, capturing the desperation of characters caught in a bizarre reality. It’s distinct in its approach, mixing myth with gritty urban life, and you can't help but appreciate how it wrestles with themes of transformation and identity.

Strange atmospheric visuals. · Interesting take on mythological themes. · Not your typical horror flick.
