Our evaluate:
Matthew B.C.’s directorial debut is a definite step up for Scott Jeffrey productions and contains some fashionable pictures we aren’t used to in such choices. It begins slowly extra like a drama and depicts the form of unlucky exploitation of susceptible younger girls by scumbag males that goes on world wide.
After a gradual build-up, the horror and revenge components lastly come to the fore. This additionally supplies among the regulars in these low funds Brit flicks the possibility to really act reasonably than spout Z film dialogue.

Different opinions:
“B.C. and Jeffrey have […] achieved lots with not a lot in any respect right here. Some spectacular rural pictures and nice turns from a few of Jeffrey’s regulars in uncommon (for them) roles – particularly Cohen and Wright – make this a slow-burn delight with a strong coronary heart.” Darkish Eyes of London
“The primary characteristic from co-writer and director Matthew B.C., Medusa: Queen of the Serpents is kind of the calling card for this new expertise – he’s clearly made probably the most of what he had with this movie, with the script and performances shining regardless of the movies apparent budgetary limitations…” Nerdly
“With robust females main Medusa’s cost, this movie works higher than anticipated as a result of it offers with characters who’re on the very fringe of society and makes them sympathetic. Don’t go in for the horror. Go in for the characters. You may be rewarded. This isn’t a simple job, however the movie’s director handles making them sympathetic nicely.” Reel Opinions
