The Medusa Touch (1978) - Newspaper Ad

Oakland Tribune - April 14, 1978

47 years ago today the telekinesis-themed thriller The Medusa Touch opened around the San Francisco Bay Area. While I have a foggy memory of sitting in a movie theater and being unsettled by the plane being forced to crash into a building, I know that I did not see the movie itself until it aired on the CBS Late Movie on August 25, 1982.

Although I found it to be somewhat tad talky and slow for after midnight viewing, it nonetheless held my interest all the way to its ominous, albeit grin inducing, ending.
