Medusa's Venom
The beast is back and her venom is deadlier than ever. When newcomer Lola is welcomed into Medusa's circle, she endures a ritual to bring her closer to her new sisters.
Why it matters
A modern folk horror ritual that dials up the dread with serpentine mythology and sisterhood rites gone wrong.
- Delivers a slow-burn atmosphere rooted in ancient myth, perfect for fans of ritualistic horror like *The Witch* or *Midsommar*.
- Practical effects shine in the creature design and venomous transformations, paying homage to classic body horror traditions.
- Explores toxic female bonds with unsettling intimacy, adding psychological layers beneath the ritual carnage.
- May feel familiar in structure, but the strong performances and eerie sound design carve out a distinct, suffocating mood.
