   I can't exactly dislike Hammer Horror's The Gorgon, but it's a confused little movie. The monster is from mythology, of course, but is also just the SPIRIT of the creature millennia dead, and also, makes its host transform on the full moon like a werewolf. Uhm... Structurally, while it does a good job of setting up a mystery - who and what is the monster? what is Peter Cushing's pathologist's own secret? - there are just too many investigators coming to town, one after another. A man dies petrified, his father comes a-looking. He dies, his OTHER son investigates. While he's doing so, Christopher Lee in bad hair'n'beard shows up to help, almost as an after-thought. Get it together, movie. And it might all have worked out if the monster's ultimate appearance had been more impressive. I do like the climactic fight, but there's a lot of "stand way over there so people don't see how bad the snake hair is". A lot of promise, but ultimately disappointing despite (and this is germane to my interests only) the participation of Patrick Troughton as a cagey copper. 4 years 6 months ago
