Rating: - Oh, MY! What A Wonderful Surprise!!
I received a copy of this only yesterday from a friend in the UK...I was prepared to be mildly entertained (and amused at the late '70's fashions) for 90 minutes, but I was HOOKED from the start. There are a few scenes that could have benefitted greatly by the use of today's computer generated special effects (if you've seen the film, you know the scenes I'm talking about..) but this isn't about SFX...it's a mind-game (literally), and the supporting players..Derek Jacobi, Michael Hordern, Alan Badel, ...

The Medusa Touch is the fantastic story of a middle age English man tormented by the terrifying revelation, he is responsible for the the world's disasters. Richard Burton gives an unforgetable performance as writer John Morlar, who is brutally murdered and left for dead. Trouble is, his mind refuses to die. Convinced, from a young age, Morlar believes he has had the power to cause personal as well as world catastrophes. To prove his point, he snares a fully-loaded flying 747 jumbo jet and causes it to ... Read More

This is an excellent movie. Richard Burton is superb. Why is this movie not in DVD?
Rating: - Burton is a brooding ,sensual anti-hero for the masses.
This is the film that got me interested in Burton. I first saw it on British television many years ago,and Burtons portrayal of an intelligent, but massively tortured man is reminiscent of his own life.He had a "gift" which would ultimately tear him apart.This film is not currently available on video in the UK.That is a disgrace.
Rating: - This movie is absolutely fantasic
I have seen this film three times on British television and I can recommend it to all. Richard Burton is at his absolute peak in the dark and menacing lead. The film itself is beautifully crafted, and works on numerous levels. It is not unknown for me to ask relative strangers what their favourite movie is and be told "The Medusa Touch" which is quite astounding since it is a little known title. If you get the opportunity to watch this film, I implore you to grab it with both hands.
