The Medusa Touch avi torrent

1978 Richard Burton, Lee Remick

The Medusa Touch was a British-French made ESP thriller that came out not long after the success of Brian De Palma�s psychic powers hit Carrie (1976). Oddly it was one of two films about comatose hospital patients with psychic powers that came out around the same time, along with the Australian-made Patrick (1979). The film was based on a 1973 novel by Peter Van Greenaway. It was directed by Jack Gold, best known for his work in British tv. The film was not at all a success and vanished almost immediately in theatrical release. The telekinesis plot at the heart of the film is familiar enough, however its presentation in a whodunit format proves quite interesting. Especially good is the eloquently waspish dialog of Richard Burton�s central character.
