The Medusa Touch is a British/French film directed by Jack Gold and starring Richard Burton (John Morlar), Lino Ventura (Brunel), Lee Remick (Zonfeld) and Harry Andrews (Assistant Commissioner). The screenplay was by John Briley, based on the novel The Medusa Touch by Peter Van Greenaway.


Plot: A French detective, Brunel, is on an exchange scheme in London. He is assigned to investigate the murder of novelist John Morlar. As they examine the crime scene, the policemen find that the victim is actually still alive in spite of his severe injuries and have him rushed to hospital. With the help of Morlar's journals and Dr. Zonfeld, a psychiatrist whom the author had started visiting, Brunel reconstructs Morlar's past life. Seen in flashback, it is filled with inexplicable catastrophes, including the tragic deaths of people he disliked or who offended him.
Morlar is, in fact, a psychic with powerful telekinetic abilities. Disgusted at the world (in his 1988 book Nightmare Movies, Kim Newman described Morlar's dialogue as "incredibly misanthropic"), Morlar has caused two recent disasters: an airliner crash and the loss of a manned spacecraft. From his hospital bed, he manages to bring down a cathedral on the "unworthy heads" of a VIP congregation giving thanks for the building's preservation. Morlar seems able to keep himself alive by sheer willpower. An enraged Brunel himself tries to finish Morlar off and fails. The man has written on a pad the name of his next target - the nuclear power station at Windscale.
