A fantastic cult classic, markedly with few edits so the scenes can drag on a bit. Lovely framing and camera movement with a huge variety of shots that drive the slowness of the plot. Beware the telekinesis of Patrick!

While a bit too long, I liked the idea of a comatose human with psychokinetic or telekinetic powers. It definitely built on its suspense. I wondered if there was a plot hole, but that was thankfully cleared up.
A nice little jewel of a horror movie that centers around a man that's bed bound in a coma with telekonetic powers. I gave this movie 3 stars because it was kind of boring and lagged on a lot. Not a lot of action in this one, although I did enjoy the ending.
The movie Patrick, It was mysterious, and excitment. It was scary to a certain extinct. Yet better than strange, and more than beyound the ordinary state of the mind of human being's.
