Its success allowed for such cult classics as Road <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Game<\/a>s and Psycho 2, though Franklin never had a celebrated career like Peter Weir or such contemporaries. This film is highly-lauded in Australian horror cinema (being an early example of Ozploitation) with music composed by Brian May who later composed scores for Mad Max and Road Warrior (although, for the Italian release of Patrick, the score was replaced by prog rock band, Goblin) and a screenplay by Everett De Roche.<span id=\"more-91714\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Patrick-1978-movie-Richard-Franklin-(6)\" height=\"253\"  src=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Patrick-1978-movie-Richard-Franklin-6.jpg\"  width=\"450\"><\/img> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Patrick-1978-movie-Richard-Franklin-(3)\" height=\"256\"  src=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Patrick-1978-movie-Richard-Franklin-3.jpg\"  width=\"450\"><\/img> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Patrick-1978-movie-Richard-Franklin-(2)\" height=\"241\"  src=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Patrick-1978-movie-Richard-Franklin-2.jpg\"  width=\"450\"><\/img><\/p>\n<p>We learn of Patrick\u2019s (Robert Thompson) backstory rather quickly: he has murdered his mother and her lover by electrocuting them in a bathtub. Inexplicably, he sinks into a coma afterwards and is cared for in a Catholic hospital by a Dr. Roget (Robert Helpmann), more bent on experimentation than therapy having discovered that Patrick has psychokinetic abilities. Roget is obsessed with the segregation of the physical from one\u2019s \u201cessence,\u201d often delivering such dialogue as, \u201cDetermining the exact moment of death is one of the most controversial issues in modern medicine.\u201d That <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a> and religion subtly cross swords throughout the film provides a fitting, if not slightly obvious commentary; not to mention a few nature-versus-nurture asides: <em>\u201cA born devil on whose nature nurture can never stick.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Our protagonist is Kathy (Susan Penhaligon), a freshly-hired nurse, overseen by the dictatorial Matron Cassidy who is wary of Patrick\u2019s telekinetic shenanigans. Kathy\u2019s first assignment is to watch over Patrick in Room 15. He suffers from brain damage; eyes staring straight ahead but seeing nothing. \u201cHe\u2019s what you\u2019d call an acute,\u201d one of the nurses informs her. In fact, he\u2019s been unconscious for three years. \u201cYou will be expected to keep the eyes bathed and lubricated,\u201d she\u2019s told.<\/p>\n<p>She soon learns that Patrick has a propensity to spit, as well as muscle spasms and instinctual movements \u2013 all normal, hardwired mechanisms. Kathy has a husband, Ed, she wishes to divorce. He\u2019s a right bugger who thinks nothing of breaking into her apartment or sitting outside her flat at all hours of the night. However, as the film goes on, one begins to realise that he is only an ignorant buffoon who really does genuinely care about her.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Patrick-1978-movie-Richard-Franklin-(1)\" height=\"500\"  src=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Patrick-1978-movie-Richard-Franklin-1-330x500.jpg\"  width=\"330\"><\/img><\/p>\n<p>At first, Patrick (who never speaks or blinks onscreen) begins to communicate by electric typewriter and various other means such as syllabic spitting but, inexplicably, he begins to slowly regain his sense of touch as well (and if Patrick were given more time to \u201cwait\u201d it makes one wonder whether he would have regained his faculties altogether). The ending of the film contains its greatest irony where Patrick\u2019s most advanced motion is not derived from himself (it\u2019s also darkly comedic).<\/p>\n<p>When Kathy\u2019s invited to a party at a neurosurgeon\u2019s (Brian) house, she reluctantly accepts. Brian is nearly drowned in his pool by an unseen force and soon he and Kathy begin to work together to figure out what\u2019s going on: the whole premise being, Patrick\u2019s had three years, deprived of his five senses, to develop this psychokinetic \u201cseventh.\u201d For some reason he has fixated on Kathy and uses his telekinetic ability to \u201cprotect\u201d her. \u201cBetter off without those who hurt you,\u201d he communicates to her. You see, there is a poignancy to much of what Patrick psychically channels, however, it is often the shoddy budget and sloppy editing which undermine the effectiveness of the screenplay.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Patrick-1978-movie-Richard-Franklin-(5)\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Patrick-1978-movie-Richard-Franklin-5-336x500.jpg\" width=\"336\"><\/img><\/p>\n<p>With the exception of Penhaligon and a few select others, the acting\u2019s a bit rubbish and there are some awkward editing choices, but overall the film is well-directed with an interesting premise. Made on a shoestring budget, the right notes are being hit throughout, it is often the presentation that is wanting. It is Franklin\u2019s direction, however, which almost makes it work; forging the offbeat, oddly-moving nature of the film into one of the few redeeming strengths.<\/p>\n<p>Rating: C <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Like this articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/watch-movies-tv-series\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Watch Movies &#038; TV Series <\/a>category<\/span><\/strong>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>if you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch Movies<\/a> or Tv Shows go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/dizi.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dizi.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a> <\/span> for forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/91714\/film-review-patrick-1978\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Film Review: Patrick (1978) Watch Online&#8221; If you want to watch Film Review: Patrick (1978) visit the Dizi.BuradaBiliyorum.Com SYNOPSIS: A comatose hospital patient harasses and kills though his powers of telekinesis to claim his private nurse as his own.
