Filmmaker Jorge Ameer’s contemporary gothic supernatural creature feature is based on the classical tale of gorgons and gods. JACK PERUCI (Jeff Allen ) is a mythology professor who acquires an antique mirror from Kao, a shady witch doctor (Jorge Ameer). As evil haunts Dr. Peruci through this recently acquired artifact, he must overcome the paranormal to avoid his soul from being summoned as a vessel of resurrection. The style and inspiration to the “look” and “feel” of Medusa is based on filmmaker Jorge Ameer’s fascination with Andy Warhol’s films “Flesh for Frankenstein” (1973) and “Blood for Dracula” (1974) directed...
