Ari Aster has come up with a fantastical, Freudian grab bag of guilt and resentment for his third film.

The film’s killer puppets committing absolute and brutal mayhem will tickle the heart of any fan of low-budget ’80s and early ’90s horror.

Director Michelle Garza Cervera deftly examines motherhood and identity while creating a solid horror flick that is grounded and punctuated with moments of hallucinatory terror.

The kind of playful film that pays direct homage to a certain type of cinema without revealing too much about its influences, though clearly inspired by What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

An elevated horror movie that’s also a burning romance, enhanced by the charisma and beauty of its stars.

A psychological horror film not for the faint of heart.

A horror film that fully embraces its fairy-tale roots (stories of a boogeyman who devours children) and goes to some wild and grotesque extremes.

Candy-colored and stylized and often surreal as it is, the provocative Medusa contains a lot that feels very relevant right now.

Saying that this is Peter Strickland’s most accessible film to date, which it is, in no way means that it is accessible.
