Why this pick
Like The Medusa Touch, it turns an apparently helpless hospital patient into the unnerving centre of a psychic-threat thriller, with measured investigative suspense and chilly late-1970s atmosphere.
Why this pick
Its grave, adult tone and methodical investigation echo The Medusa Touch’s blend of supernatural danger, psychological unease, and a rational protagonist confronting impossible evidence.
Why this pick
A serious-minded supernatural thriller in which clinical experts and a traumatised central figure clash over terrifying phenomena, sustaining the same sceptical, oppressive mood.
Why this pick
This era-matched psychic thriller shares its dangerous paranormal abilities, escalating dread, and sleek, ominous sensibility, while giving the mystery a more kinetic conspiracy-thriller shape.
Why this pick
Its emotionally restrained treatment of an ordinary man burdened by frightening psychic insight closely matches the fatalistic, adult seriousness behind The Medusa Touch.
