Wow! Such a good movie.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Patrick attempts to have more jolts per minute than any film ever, yet doesn't stick a single jump scare. Bathed in atmosphere, this very well shot throwback to 40s and 50s mad scientist horror, feels like a lost Hammer horror relic. Kathy, well played by Sharni Vinson, takes a job as a nurse in a house of horrors that's doing research on comatose patients. It's not before long that the evil comatose Patrick begins communicating with her with his psychic powers and she gets pulled further into this silly story with a mad scientist - a head nurse who is so serious she could only be employed in this place and medical research that usually involves creeping around spooky settings and angrily applying electro-shock. Half baked love interest subplot for Kathy and an ex of hers, is totally extraneous. Patrick is a fun film that pulls out every horror filmmaking trick in the book and while it's never scary for a moment, it's a solid genre effort.

When a young nurse begins work at an isolated psychiatric ward, she quickly becomes fascinated with Patrick, a brain dead patient who is the subject of a mad scientist's cruel and unusual experiments. What starts as an innocent fascination quickly takes a sinister turn as Patrick begins to use his psychic powers to manipulate her every move, and send her life into a terrifying spiral out of control.Dumb out dated plot. It's filmed well enough but the concept is a 70s concept and just so dumb today.The film should never have been re-made.As I've said, the film is made well.But it's such a stoopid concept today.

While the movie takes its name of one of the characters (not just anyone of course), I decided to take the normal name of the main actress. She has a tough job, trying to sell horror, but also being oblivious to stuff taking place around her. She delivers, even at times when the viewer might want to scream at her or other characters for not seeing the obvious.The scare moments (jump scares or others) are pretty decent. While I haven't seen the original though, what I'm hearing, is that this one is superior to it. I can only comment on this one and while not perfect by a long shot, this does more than a decent job selling the horror. Twists and turns included ...

Why do studios except to make movies like this? Patrick is nothing but a bunch of poorly acted. Poorly produced muck with no real storyline and a few cheap jump scares. Patrick totally wasted the potential of a good film set in a creepy near abandoned clinic were strange doctors undertaken strange procedures. No part of this wretch inducing story makes any sense at all and it is lucky it wasn't too long a movie because I would not be able to stomach another minute of this garbage. Sharnie Vincent Is a horrible actress but i think she tries her best but she is not well suited for this particular genre. The story contains a ridiculous amount of holes. And rubbish that is impossible to happen in real life and even in a movie they are still ridiculous. A bunch of near dead parents chanting something Patrick desires? Really?
