New on Blu-ray & 4K: PATRICK (1978) - Sci-Fi Horror - Indicator Series

Patrick 1978 New On Bluray And 4k Limited Edition

Product Description: From director Richard Franklin (Roadgames) comes Patrick, a terrifying fusion of science-fiction and Hitchockian suspense thriller, starring Susan Penhaligon (House of Mortal Sin), Robert Helpmann (The Red Shoes), and Robert Thompson (Thirst).

Murderer Patrick (Thompson) is kept in a comatose state between life and death, under the watchful eye of the eccentric Dr Roget (Helpmann). When he is assigned a caring new nurse, Kathy (Penhaligon), he becomes possessive, and uses telekinetic powers to torment anyone who comes between them.

Produced by Antony I Ginnane (Snapshot), written by Everett De Roche (Harlequin), and scored by Brian May (Mad Max), Patrick’s unprecedented international success made it a landmark of the Australian New Wave.
