Medusa: Queen of the Serpents

Anyone has the names of the music played in this movie? Nice music.

..but not a movie really worth watching. The special effect make up on snake lady in the opening is an absolute joke. Within 10 minutes there's sex work, heroin use and misery, set to an Ibiza '98 chillout compliation. It's as if Ken Korda wrote it. Keep speeding on the needle bliss directors, try harder. Managed 17 minutes.

One of a long line of very low-budget films coming out of England at the moment. In fairness, it isn't the worst of the batch, but don't expect much.

The acting is below-par, the plot is flimsy at best. The few special effects used could have been straight out of a 1960's B-movie. On the plus side, it is (barely) watchable.

At first I expected something along the lines of Greek mythology mixed with urban times. It.. kind of was? They portrayed the pretty blonde actress as a woman who turns into medusa after contracting some virus. To me this kind of comes off as afflicting her into a zombie creature. I didn't appreciate this aspect of the story at all.

They did use the urban atmosphere, but in the sleeziest way possible, trailer park prostitutes who are abused. I think their should've at least been a romantic occurrence with medusa, in order to bind with the Greek mythology where medusa originates. Nope. Didn't happen. This gave me the feel of easy and effortless storytelling.

I appreciate the effort of the film crew trying to create an urban creature feature from Greek Mythology. However, it just didn,didn't, work here. That is why I rated this movie a generous 4/10.

The pretty snake lady on the movie poster looks completely different from the plain looking character in the movie, are they supposed to be the same person or is it a false advertising?
