Patrick
Directed by Richard Franklin
A comatose patient uses telekinesis to kill in this terrifying Australian horror classic. Lying quietly in his hospital bed, one might mistake Patrick for a hopeless case. But Patrick’s more than meets the eye, and when he becomes fixated on his nurse, he starts using his powers to stop anyone who tries to come between them. Few who saw PATRICK’s final shocking scene ever forgot it, including Quentin Tarantino, who referenced it in KILL BILL. The film’s success outside Australia led director Richard Franklin to Hollywood, where he wound up directing the great PSYCHO 2. Contains sexual scenes, violence and gore.

loved it. love Aussie horror/thrillers
First saw this movie when I was 11… we have both not aged well
loved this movie, it's a slow burn but exactly what you expect from an ozploitation flick
imaginative if muddled story. more of a 70s oddity than anything.
For such a non-story, I still enjoyed it!
