Horrorfest 2021 Presents: Patrick (1978, Richard Franklin)


Great SpongeBob almost ruined my ability to enjoy a good cult movie. I keep hearing that stupid but funny “No this is Patrick!” scene the show did. Anyways Patrick is one of those not great, yet still good and solid horror movies I often end up watching. The movie could have used more violence however there is one scene that is rather electrifying, if you know what I mean after you watch this movie.

This flick also has a pretty good pool scene that is well shot and executed. If you build a drinking game everytime Susan Penhaligon’s Kathy says Patrick, you might get pleasantly drunk by the end of the movie. Maybe even before the final scene. Check this out for the early unexpected death scene, stay for the mind powers and a coma patient becoming obsessed with his nurse. The Australians sure have some wonderfully unusual horror movies.
