Patrick
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.
Why it matters
A claustrophobic psychokinetic thriller that turns hospital monotony into a tense, unsettling study of power and isolation.
- Taps into body horror and supernatural suspense with a low-key, slow-burn approach that rewards patience.
- Nikki Reed delivers a quietly compelling lead performance, grounding the eerie psychic manipulations in emotional reality.
- Practical effects and restrained visuals keep the eerie atmosphere intimate, avoiding genre clichés while channeling ’70s telekinesis chills.
- Perfect for fans of character-driven horror who appreciate psychological dread over jump scares or gore.
