Movie Review: Medusae

A documentarist’s son goes missing when she films a story on the disappearances of the firstborns in a remote island. Her search reveals the presence of a cult and an abductor who looks like her, whom her son claims to be his real mother.

Medusae totally nails a well made mystery film that flawlessly woven its original concept to its story. Pam Miras knows exactly what she’s trying to achieve in this film and she delivers. I like how the mother son story interweave to a mythological and folklore story. The film will not only linger its visual treat and originality but also its statement of being a parent. Dense with layers of story that are properly woven, Medusae is one of the interesting local films that I’ve seen 2017.







My Verdict: 4.5/5
