Medusa
Directed by Anita Rocha da Silveira
Produced by Bananeira Filmes, MyMama Entertainment
A darkly satirical horror-fantasy that weaponizes evangelical hypocrisy and religious fanaticism, using body horror and vigilante violence to interrogate faith, community, and the cost of ideological purity.
By day, Mari and her friends broadcast their spiritual devotion through pastel pinks and catchy evangelical songs about purity and perfection, and by night they form a vigilante girl gang, prowling the streets in search of sinners who have deviated from the rightful path. After an attack goes wrong, leaving Mari scarred and unemployed, her views of community, religion, and her peers begin to shift.
