Description

Medusa is a sharp blend of social (horror) thriller, psychological thriller, and feminist absurdism. In short, a film for true arthouse connoisseurs.

By day, Mariana and her friends sing in a church choir and film YouTube videos preaching the Christian lifestyle. By night, they transform into a vigilante gang in white masks, stalking and assaulting women whose behavior they deem sinful.

The film cuts through with a striking neon aesthetic and a pulsating 80s-style soundtrack.
