A new international one-sheet for Mark Hartley’s Australian horror remake ‘Patrick’ has arrived ahead of its new screenings later this month at both the Fantastic Fest taking place in Austin, Texas and also the Spanish Sitges Film Festival. Sharni Vinson (‘Your Next’) plays nurse to the comatosed ‘Patrick’ who uses his telekinetic powers to communicate with her. The story is based on the cult Aussie horror of the same name from filmmaker Richard Franklin and the project co-stars Charles Dance (‘Game of Thrones’), Rachel Griffiths (‘Six Feet Under’), Martin Crewes and Peta Sergeant. Check out the new poster below.
“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 a 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 realizes 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 a 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.”
