Blu B @RT43513976 Nov 4, 2026 It's not bad. It's campy Hammer horror at its finest in a way. It's what you'd expect from Hammer. The acting isn't bad but it's very campy. Lee isn't bad and probably the best thing here. Wish he had more screentime. Everything else is half decent also. It's kind of moody and a very slow burn. It's like a investigational procedural movie it feels like trying to figure out what is causing the petrifying. The Medusa makeup and all honestly looks decent enough. I never have seen a live action practical version of someone doing that without CGI assistance and it looks better than I thought it would. Biggest issue is it jumps around betweem Cushing, Lee, and Pasco. With Pasco jumping around between the two of them to the point it feels like two different films and is kind of boring but interesting enough. There's enough interest and direction to keep you watching. The monster doesn't appear until literally the final 10 minutes of a very short film. But it's kind of worth it I felt. But See more

Michael C @Michael71 Apr 20, 2026 Once again the usual elements of a Hammer Studios movie are all here in "The Gorgon". Brightly colored sets. Rolls well cast and a combination of good and great performances. The late Christopher Lee and the late Peter Cushing are terrific as they always were. The late Richard Pasco does well in his role. One other great performance is the late Patrick Troughton as Inspector Kanof. Overall however I felt the movie to be rather dull and drawn out. I felt the movie took too long to get to its conclusion which I think took away from the movie’s overall entertainment value. "The Gorgon" is not a terrible movie by any means, but Hammer Studios has done better. See more

Dallas H @FozzieMcFly Feb 11, 2026 I was unaware that Hammer Films had a Medusa-centric horror movie in their library. As with all their other films that I have watched, I enjoyed this one for the simplistic fun I expect from a Hammer Production. See more

CodyZamboni Z @CodyZamboni Feb 10, 2026 Watchable, but not great Hammer film, As Peter Cushing protects his hot nurse who is possesed by the Gorgon, who turns people into stone, Movie kinda drags but picks up when Christopher Lee arrives, His bold charisma saves the second half, Gorgon snake hair scenes are a bit campy, It was nice seeing Cushing play villain for a change, and Lee the hero, See more

Jay W @RT52162311 Nov 20, 2024 It's Hammer Time, with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. Some might be perplexed why Christopher Lee gets top billing when he isn't showing up much. I justify the decision with saying that they measured it from who are the most interesting characters. Lee steals every scene he is in and moves the plot forward. The movie does a good job setting up a creepy uneasy feel. They establish a mystery; the citizens all seem to be keeping some secret. The characters feel expendable, any one of them might be killed. And they use a monster type that isn't overly used. The pacing is just a little slow. The audience connects the dots a lot quicker than the heroes. And the movie can feel repetitive. And the finale is...the finale is good horror cheese, I enjoyed it. See more
