it be point out in a now delete post from another imdb user that anyone who might see the medusa touch should be warn about a scene that eerily reminiscent of the sept. 11 and 2001 terrorist attack in nyc . but i hope anyone reading this will consider this warning . despite an interesting pedigree ( producer elliott kastner produce harper and the long goodbye while co producer arnon milchan co produce the oscar nominate l. a. confidential and screenwriter john briley win an oscar for gandhi ) and an international cast and i find the medusa touch to be a heavy hand and unintentional laugh riot . it be a poorly direct and horribly write and act mess . it try to capitalize on the 70 telekinetic thriller genre . the movie fail on many count . please consider carrie and the underrated the fury ( both direct by brian depalma ) . they be two entertaining and excite thriller that deal with the same subject matter .
