Patrick

Patrick (1978) is an Australian horror landmark you can watch online on iFILM. For three years Patrick has lain motionless in Dr. Roget's clinic, eyes wide open. The staff are sure his brain is gone — a vegetable in a bed. They're wrong.

A young nurse named Kathy takes over his care and slowly senses that he understands every word. Then strange things start happening around her: objects move on their own, and the people she loves end up in danger. Patrick never leaves the mattress, yet he reaches his victims through sheer telekinetic will, and his jealousy turns lethal.

Director Richard Franklin, a devoted Hitchcock disciple, built a slow-burn psychic thriller that later became a cornerstone of Ozploitation and earned its own remake. Susan Penhaligon holds the whole thing on a single frayed nerve as Kathy. This one's for fans of old-school suspense over gore — it unnerves through its premise, not its body count.
