Obscure Australian 70’s Horror

This isn’t a bad film, even got nominated for a Saturn Award but it’s not a great film, it didn’t win. This is a fairly standard low-budget 70’s horror. Minimal special effects and an even smaller death count. The creepiest elements to this film besides Patrick’s mono-brow are the torture of a small frog and some inappropriate touching.

(OK) Simpld, unglamorous, poor cast, but that man attached to a bed, eyes wide open, telekinesia of all sorts, sensual, dangeroous, irresistible, makes the film...

After the shocking bathtub death of his mother and her lover, the sinister Patrick lays comatose in a small private hospital, his only action being his involuntary spitting. When a pretty young nurse, just separated from her husband, begins work at the hospital, she senses that Patrick is communicating with her, and he seems to be using his psychic powers to manipulate events in her life.

"17.5. Blu-ray Richard Franklin, tuo tutkan alla liidellyt Hitchcockin opetuslapsi, vakuuttaa jälleen. Teknisesti taidokasta tieteisjännäriä kiintoisilla ja vähän häiritsevilläkin teemoilla ja kuvastolla, jopa ilman mitään törkyä. Robert Thompsonin kirjaimellinen ilmeettömyys nimiroolissa saa vähän epämukavan olon."

" Date: 10/11/2020 Viewed: Shudder First Viewing Note: This is a movie that I always wanted to see growing up and I never had the chance to watch it. I know nothing about the movie other than the premise. Not to mention, I listen to the Goblin soundtrack to the movie multiple times. However, that score is only in the Italian dub of the movie. Seeing that the movie is on Shudder (As of 10/11/2020), I decided to watch it for the first time. After watching this movie for the first time, I thought"
