Historia
Patrick lies comatose in a private hospital ward, his only outward sign of life being involuntary spitting. When a young nurse, recently separated from her husband, begins work at this isolated facility, she feels drawn to Patrick. She senses that he's communicating with her and seems to be manipulating events around her using psychic powers. As her fascination with Patrick grows, so does his influence over her life, leading to terrifying consequences.
Resumen
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.
