A rich brother and sister live on the island of Rhodes in Greece. The brother gets himself into some bother with a loan shark. While he needs to locate some will that will somehow allow him to keep the cash flow going so that he can continue his life of luxury.
To be honest, I had no idea what the hell the will sub-plot was all about. It didn't make a lick of sense. What the movie boiled down to was George Hamilton and his sister going round killing people for purposes I could not really fathom. Maybe they were supposed to be maniacs? Perhaps, seeing as they seem to have a border-line incestuous relationship. Cameron Mitchell plays the loan shark and is a much better presence than Hamilton who is in the main just a smarmy presence. I can't honestly remember seeing Hamilton in anything else; I am now beginning to understand why. The Greek setting is definitely one of the strong points about this endeavour, although other than it being a Greek legend I still cannot work out why this was called Medusa. Before watching I was hoping for a story about a snake-haired woman. Sadly that never came to pass. Medusa is watchable to be fair. It's OK in a Wednesday afternoon kind of a way. But it isn't a well made movie, as it is too senseless for what it is. If you want to watch a Greek film about a murderous incestuous brother and sister then you are advised to check out Island of Death instead.
