Terrific underrated film

[@patsaxon5284]

This was a great movie, something different other than vampire movies. I miss the days of witchcraft movie, telepathic movies and ghost movies.

Too right. Better than slasher films

Ebert was REALLY off on this one. IMO it was one of the best of 1978.

To be honest I thought this film deserved a slightly less heavy handed film score. The style often took a wrong turn after starting out very well. It was ominous and atmospheric to it's credit, until the strings are interjected with great big stabs from the brass section and percusion/chimes to signify "action" and "peril" like the spoonfed disaster movie many people mistook this flick to be - It's producers likely among them. Maybe the composer was under orders. This particular piece is quite naff compared to other portions from the soundtrack, but even then most sequences start well and devolve into the melodramatic. Underneath the obviousness of those 1970's TV tropes lies a deeply unnerving story that could have stood along side The Omen. It's a great film at it's core though.

so roger ebert called the medusa touch the worst film of 1978, to me the worst films of 78 was a toss up between The Deer Hunter and Close Encounters of the Third Kind
