MEDUSA: GAZE OF THE DAMNED (2025)

Don’t look away. Don’t even blink.
Florence Pugh is Perseus reborn: battle-scarred, relentless, dragging a polished shield through blood-soaked ruins like it’s her last lifeline. Henry Cavill’s Theseus storms in as the muscle-bound warrior king with a sword that hums with divine fire and a glare that dares the gods themselves. Anya Taylor-Joy? She’s Medusa, and holy hell, she owns every frame: serpents writhing like living nightmares, eyes that glow with ancient rage, voice like silk dipped in venom. When she whispers “Look at me,” theaters will go dead silent.

The trailer is pure mythic mayhem: crumbling temples erupting in green flame, Athenian hoplites frozen mid-scream as statues, a sky raining petrified ashes. Practical snakes mixed with jaw-dropping VFX make every hiss feel real enough to slither down your spine. That final shot—Pugh raising the shield, Cavill charging, Taylor-Joy’s laugh echoing as the gaze hits—gave me full-body chills.
It’s brutal, beautiful, and unapologetically epic. Clash of the Titans wishes it had this much venom.
Verdict: 9.8/10 – The myth just grew fangs. I’m already seated for this one.
