In the small German village of Vandorf, a series of gruesome deaths have rocked the community. As the townspeople begin to grow increasingly paranoid, a young doctor named Namaroff (played by Peter Cushing) is called in to investigate. With the help of his assistant Carla (played by Barbara Shelley), Namaroff quickly learns that the deaths are linked to a legendary Gorgon - a creature from Greek mythology with the power to turn its victims to stone.

As the investigation intensifies, Namaroff encounters a number of suspicious characters - including Professor Meister (played by Christopher Lee), who has been researching the legend of the Gorgon for years. Meister is convinced that the creature is real and is determined to prove it. However, as more and more people in Vandorf fall victim to the Gorgon's deadly gaze, it becomes clear that Meister may have bitten off more than he can chew.

One of the unique things about The Gorgon is its blend of horror and romance. The film features a love triangle between Namaroff, Carla, and a young artist named Bruno (played by Richard Pasco). Bruno is convinced that his lover, a beautiful woman named Magda (played by Shelley), has become possessed by the Gorgon's spirit. Namaroff thinks that Bruno is crazy, but as the bodies continue to pile up, he begins to realize that the truth may be stranger than he ever imagined.

The Gorgon is also notable for its special effects. The creature itself is a bit like a giant serpent with a woman's head, and it's hard not to be impressed by the level of detail that went into bringing it to life. The Gorgon's stare is particularly chilling - every time someone locks eyes with her, there's a sense of mounting dread and uncertainty about what might happen next.

Overall, The Gorgon is a solid entry in the horror genre. It's not quite as scary as some of the other films from this era, but it has a definite charm that makes it worth watching. The performances are strong across the board, with Cushing and Lee once again proving that they were two of the most talented actors of their time. If you're a fan of classic horror movies or Greek mythology, The Gorgon is definitely worth checking out.

The Gorgon is a 1964 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 23 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.4.
