Thunderously overwhrought pile of Grand Guignol horror and displaying a lot of destruction , slaughter, mayhem , poltergeister with his considerable telekinesis talents . The plot is well known , plain and simple : a young has secret amazing powers to move things with her mind , and making her angry could prove to be deadly . Some of violence but nothing really bloody . Acceptable main and support cast . Susan Penhaligon is fine as a pretty young nurse just separated from her husband who senses Patrick is communicating with her , as well as the veteran Robert Helpmann as the harassed doctor. And Robert Thompson as the young Patrick laying comatose in a small private hospital while giving a unsettling and disturbing appearance . Followed by an exploitation and inferior sequel : Patrick vive ancora 1980 by Mario Landi with Sacha Pitoëff , Gianni Dei , Mariangela Giordano, Carmen Russo .
It contains moving musical score by Brian May , as well as atmospheric Cinematography by Donald McAlpine , both of whom to develop a long career in Australia and Hollywood. This Suspense Thriller was regular but professionallly directed by Richard Franklyn . This third movie "Patrick" was a nifty horror feature that proved to be a big international success; it won the won the Grand Prize at the Avoriaz Fantastic Film Festival, was nominated for an AFI Award for Best Film, and won the Best Director Award at the Sitges-Catalonian International Film Festival. His another terror film "Roadgames" was a tense and witty "danger on the road" thriller knockout which was the most expensive Australian film made in the early 80s. Franklin then did the surprisingly solid and satisfying belated sequel "Psycho II." His other movies include the delightful "Cloak and Dagger," the silly "Link," and the hugely enjoyable "F/X 2." However, Franklin became weary of Hollywood studio politics and returned to his native Australia. He made the acclaimed play adaptations "Hotel Sorrento" and "Brilliant Lies." "Hotel Sorrento" won an AFI Award for Best Adapted Screenplay and was nominated for both Best Film and Best Director. Franklyn has made various fine terror and thriller movies : Patrick , road games , visitors , FX II and TV series as Beastmaster , Fastland , Lost world , among others . Rating : 6/10. Passable and acceptable.
