Review of The Medusa Touch (1978) by Nick L — 09 Jul 2007
Endearingly bonkers late 70s thriller about a man who can will misfortune on those he dislikes. Richard Burton imbues the central character with all the pent up hatred, resentment and misanthropy of a drunk, violently intelligent Welshman while an 'usual suspects' cast (Michael Hordern, Derek Jacobi etc) fall victim to his wrath.
Flawed and somewhat cheap looking, this Roald Dahl-eque tale of the completely expected is an immensely enjoyable bit of fluff.
