What if your thoughts could kill?
The Medusa Touch isn't just a movie — it’s a mood.
Dark. Cerebral. Cataclysmic.
This Medusa Touch T-Shirt channels the malevolent magnetism of Richard Burton’s chilling portrayal of John Morlar — a man cursed (or blessed?) with the uncanny ability to manifest mass destruction using only the force of his mind. From downed planes to crumbling cathedrals, Morlar’s mind is a weapon, and this design captures that simmering psychic rage in glorious retro horror style.
Drenched in blood-red shadows and stark monochrome, the design features Burton’s piercing stare, framed by the infamous Medusa emblem and backed by bold vintage title graphics. It’s not just a shirt — it’s a premonition.
A cult classic from the golden age of British paranoia cinema, The Medusa Touch blends psychological horror, telekinetic terror, and existential dread in a way few films dare. And now, fans of forgotten masterpieces, Burton completists, and retro horror devotees can wear its apocalyptic power across their chests.
“A man with a mind like Morlar’s is a danger to the entire world.” – Detective Brunel
Directed by Jack Gold and based on the novel by Peter Van Greenaway, The Medusa Touch tells the story of a French detective in London who is tasked with reconstructing the life of a man lying in hospital with severe injuries using his journals and sessions with a psychiatrist. He soon realises that the man had powerful telekinetic abilities.
Perfect for lovers of obscure cinema, disaster flicks, 1970s occult thrillers, and stylish catastrophe.
Because sometimes, destruction is just... a thought away.
