Summary
Patrick (2013) is a horror-thriller directed by Mark Hartley as a remake of the classic Australian film 'Patrick' from 1978. Set in an isolated psychiatric ward of a small private hospital, the story centers around Patrick, a brain-dead patient with psychic powers who manipulates those around him. The remake updates the setting and focuses on a young nurse, Kathy, as the primary target of Patrick's influence. The film explores themes of obsession, control, and the dangers of unchecked power, all within the context of the Australian 'Ozploitation' subgenre of horror.
