Corrected entry: Medusa possessed no power to make victims look at her. That and they instantly turned to stone, not after a few minutes.
The Gorgon (1964)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Terence Fisher
Starring: Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Barbara Shelley, Richard Pasco
Other mistake: There were no gorgons named Megara. The three that existed were Medusa, Euryale, and Stheno.
Dr. Namaroff: We are men of science. I don't believe in ghosts or evil spirits, and I don't think you do, either.
Professor Jules Heitz: That's one of the most unscientific remarks I have ever heard. I believe in the existence of everything which the human brain is unable to disprove.
Trivia: Michael Goodliffe plays Richard Pasco's father in the movie, even though in real life he's only 12 years older than Pasco.

Correction: First, the film isn't about Medusa specifically. It's just about a Gorgon. Medusa wasn't the only Gorgon. However, the film only takes inspiration from the mythological stories and puts its own spin on it. Just like any fantasy or mythological film, they can add whatever elements or details they want.

True but she was the only one with the power of turning people to stone. Hence why I thought it was her not her sisters. Thank you anyway, I can be foolish at times.
