Just ahead of screenings at Fantastic Fest & SITGES Festival Internacional de Cinema Fantàstic de Catalunya, which kick off later this month, we have a cool new international one-sheet for the Sharni Vinson-starring remake of Richard Franklin's 1978 Ozploitation film PATRICK.
We're not sure when PATRICK will hit theaters/VOD/Blu-Ray, but we're hoping we'll get to see this one sooner rather than later. From everything we've seen so far (including this latest trailer) it actually looks quite promising.
Charles Dance, Rachel Griffiths and Damon Gameau also star in PATRICK, which goes like this:
After killing his mother and her lover some years before, Patrick is the comatose patient in room 15 of a remote, private psychiatric clinic run by the secretive Dr Roget who treats him as guinea pig in his bizarre studies of life and death. When Kathy, a nurse who has recently separated from her boyfriend, begins working at the clinic, she is instructed to care for him. She is disturbed by Roget’s treatment of him and somehow feels that Patrick is trying to make a connection with her. When Kathy realized that the lifeless murderer can communicate, she is shocked but compelled to prove her theory. Patrick has psychokinetic powers, which he uses to talk to Kathy by transferring his thoughts to her computer. As Patrick’s communication becomes stronger, strange and terrifying events begin to occur. Patrick has feelings for Kathy and his affection is about to manifest itself as a deadly, bloody obsession.
