PATRICK: EVIL AWAKENS

Release Date: OUT NOW!

2014 | 18 | 92 minutes | £ 15.99 ( DVD) In cult Aussie horror Patrick ( 1978), a strange young man in a coma kills those who cross him using his telekinetic powers. This remake comes from the director of Not Quite Hollywood, an excellent 2008 documentary on Ozploitation – which probably explains why it’s surprisingly decent. Sharni Vinson ( You’re Next) is engaging as a terrorised nurse, Charles Dance adds a touch of class as a sadistic scientist, and there’s a strong score by Pino Donaggio of Carrie fame.
