Medusa Raw

About This Movie

Medusa Raw is an intriguing take on the classic Medusa myth, offering a fresh lens through the eyes of Medusa herself. The film's tone is heavy, almost haunting, with an atmosphere that feels both claustrophobic and raw. It blends drama with a touch of surrealism, drawing the viewer into Medusa's plight. The pacing varies; some moments linger on her sorrow while others rush through her transformations, creating this interesting rhythm. The practical effects, though not flashy, have a certain grit that aligns well with the narrative. The performances, especially by Shawna Dempsey and Lorri Millan, are earnest and layered, bringing depth to the mythological figure. It’s a unique exploration of agency and victimhood, not often seen in genre retellings.
