Synopsis:
From director Richard Franklin ( Roadgames ) comes Patrick , a terrifying fusion of science fiction and Hitchcockian thriller, starring Susan Penhaligon ( House of Mortal Sin ), Robert Helpmann ( The Red Shoes ), and Robert Thompson ( Thirst ).
Murderer Patrick (Thompson) is kept in a comatose state between life and death, under the watchful eye of the eccentric Dr Roget (Helpmann). When he is assigned a caring new nurse, Kathy (Penhaligon), he becomes possessive, and uses telekinetic powers to torment anyone who comes between them.
Produced by Antony I Ginnane ( Snapshot ), written by Everett De Roche ( Harlequin ), and scored by Brian May ( Mad Max ), Patrick 's unprecedented international success made him a landmark of the Australian New Wave.
