From director Richard Franklin comes Patrick, a terrifying fusion of science fiction and Hitchcockian thriller. Murderer Patrick (Robert Thompson) is kept in a comatose state between life and death, under the watchful eye of the eccentric Dr. Roget (Robert Helpmann). When he is assigned a caring new nurse, Kathy (Susan Penhaligon), he becomes possessive, and uses telekinetic powers to torment anyone who comes between them. (Powerhouse Films)
