In early-twentieth-century middle-Europe, villagers are literally becoming petrified. Although the authorities try to hush the matter up, it is apparent that at the full moon, Megaera, a Gorgon, leaves her castle lair and anyone looking on her face is turned to stone. When this fate befalls a visitor, experts from the University of Leipzig arrive to try and get to the bottom of it all.

This is a fun one. Lots of Gothic atmosphere. Gorgon head isn't great, seen clearly, but the film is an enjoyable one.
ReplyDeleteyeah that head special effect is not great but is Hammer so its fun story telling.
