Patrick Limited Edition 4K UHD
'Patrick' Director: Richard Franklin (1978) Indicator Numbered Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD
A terrifying fusion of science fiction and Hitchcockian thriller.
Murderer Patrick is kept in a comatose state between life and death, under the watchful eye of an eccentric doctor. When he is assigned a caring new nurse, he becomes possessive, and uses telekinetic powers to torment anyone who comes between them.
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.
