Kathy Jacquard (Sharni Vinson) is starting a new position as a nurse at a creepy facility for comatose patients. Here she works for a mad scientist (Charles Dance) that enjoys spending his free time using electroshock therapy and eating frogs. Soon she meets bedridden Patrick (Jackson Gallagher), whom she believes is trying to communicate with her by spitting in her face. (Don’t try that at the club, fellas.) It isn’t long before he falls for her and is using his telekinetic abilities to have the other patients sit up in their beds and shout, ‘Patrick wants a hand job!’
Patrick uses his evil powers via iPhone to make one guy drive off a cliff and another sizzle his hands on a skillet. The dude is a psychotic app.
First, Sharni Vinson always kicks ass. I’ve seen her scramble a dude’s brain with a blender and survive a 3D shark. Once Patrick starts throwing psychic temper tantrums, she takes off the clogs. This girl is quickly becoming a new scream queen in the scene and I look forward to seeing her in more horror films. Unfortunately, this flick is just like the hand jobs that ‘Patrick’ demands – unsatisfying.
OVERALL SUMMARY
Sharni Vinson rocks but ‘Patrick’ is brain-dead.
