Medusa

I saw this movie playing at a theater near me and literally ran to see it. It looked like it was up my alley. Then I saw the movie, and I discovered it's not.

I saw the other reviews and the high score that the movie got and could not believe we all were watching the same movie.

It seemed like the type of movie perfect for the Halloween season. Reminded me of classic Universal and Hammer horror films.

But even though the movie had a very unique quality to it, I found the whole thing long and boring, and not all the acting was decent enough for the boring stuff.

Yes it was an original concept and I give it an A for effort for that. Especially considering how decent the special effects were for a low budget feature, but my admiration stops right there. It has my respect but I'm calling this a miss for me.

Creepy, clever, captivating and FUN! It's a roller coaster of a ride than kept me glued to my seat. Just the right amount of fright mixed with slight jabs of humor and an a fascinating take on the Medusa mythology. Reality and fantasy blended in the perfect mix provide a stirring cocktail of independent filmmaking genius. Ameer amazes as much as a director as he does as the witch doctor character in the first act. Jeff Allen is so perfectly cast as his character that the scenes revolve around his naturally gifted intensity and a fierce gaze. The real winner here is the audience member who is sucked into a terrific story with just the right amount of effects to compliment, not overtake, the actual story being told. I was drawn in and enjoyed every single frame of this dark, taunting, gripping tale of terror that made me want it to keep going on and on. Ever exceeding my expectations, I remain humbled at the awesome work that keeps coming from one of my favorite filmmakers who remains unafraid to push the boundaries of any genre!

There's a lot of fake reviews here. As soon as the film starts you'll see how bad the acting is. The actors actually become worse as the film progresses, which is Miraculous in and of itself. You can pluck people randomly off the street and they'd do a much better job of acting than anyone in this film. As for the story it's really really really boring. As for the the film's highlights there's really none to speak of. This is a cheap mess with zero redeeming value. You have incredible intestinal fortitude if you can watch this piece of trash to the bitter end. You're a person with very low standards if you liked this junk.

The acting is so bad I could not watch more than 5 minutes. It's unbearable.

I look for decent scary flicks this one is free on tubi. The acting, sound and effects of this movie is about a 3-5 out of 10 (it's not good). This movie has a 1970 tv show feel to it, but with way worse acting. Other reviews on here are misleading.
