Review of The Gorgon (1964) by Scott W — 20 Mar 2010
The Gorgon (1965) -- [4.0] -- The mystery is paper-thin in this tale of Medusa-like sisters who turn their victims to stone. Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee have precious few scenes together, and neither are on their best game (Cushing's character isn't much to work with).
"The Gorgon" is a sub-par entry in the Hammer Horror canon, but you'll still find a few scenes of delicious gothic ambience. I love how the filmmakers used painted backdrops in this film, and composer James Bernard provides a spooky score driven by ethereal voices.
