It's better to let sleeping psychics lie in a new clip and trailer from Patrick: Evil Awakens.
Beware of comatose patients in creepy hospitals. That’s the takeaway from Patrick: Evil Awakens, a new horror film starring Charles Dance (Game of Thrones), Sharni Vinson (You’re Next) and Rachel Griffiths. The movie is a remake of a 1978 Australian film directed by Richard Franklin (Psycho II) that has gained cult status over the years, in which a patient in a coma is able to wreak havoc in a medical facility via telekinesis. Since no one is immune to the remake virus, it was only inevitable that Patrick got his as well.
The synopsis reads:
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.
The clip below (which purports to be “found footage” but really isn’t) shows the inhuman medical procedure that attempts to awaken Patrick but instead unleashes his psychic power, while the trailer (also below) provides a wider view of the film itself, which looks eerie enough.
Directed by Mark Hartley, Patrick: Evil Awakens is out now in theaters and on VOD.
