Ian B There is a fantastic aymospheric gloom to this movie as seen in many fllms in this era. Acting is top notch as you'd expect from Burton and Lee remick. Special effects are mostly decent for the time and the scenes in the cathedral are particularly entertaining. Recommended. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/25 Full Review Ben T Films such as these were hugely popular in the 70's and this is a great example. Richard Burton plays a novelist who has the power to cause disasters with the power of his mind. Lee Remick plays his doctor who disbelieves him at first until he proves it by bringing down an aeroplane. Burtons's career was on a downward spiral by this time but he still manages a good performance. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Mr P Great fun. Burton is immense Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/24 Full Review Audience Member Overall, if you are in the mood looking for a classic-style detective story with a bonus cup of horror, add this film to your watchlist.  With a pleasing atmosphere and a pace that keeps viewers guessing as well as invested, The Medusa Touch tells a remarkable story with fun performances, a creative filming style, and impressive visuals.  Sure, the reveals surrounding the finale are predictable, but the final moments are certainly not expected.  In the end, I found myself entertained by this cinematic classic from the late 70s. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/11/23 Full Review Audience Member I would have rated this movie higher. What I did not like about it was two unresolved plot lines that should have been resolved or at least some kind of explanation be given the audience. -Who or what was "L" that was that Burton wrote in his diary? -Who was the stranger that his publisher observed him meet and converse with on a park bench for over 3 hours? Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review marco b Richard Burton stars as John Morlar, an author with telekinesis, who uses his power to cause those in power to suffer. The film is brilliant in some ways as it speaks to how ordinary people may use extraordinary abilities. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
