If the ending would have been better, the grade would of certainly be above 6. Now it has a 5, maybe it will go down a little in time, but don't think it will drop under 4.7 because it is a movie that delivers some scares, some thinking, good acting, focusing more on the plot than killshots.
Looks a lot like "Freakdog" 2008, but a level over it, that one showing more torture kills than creating a deeper, more complex plot like we have here. Some nude scenes even and lovely ones too, some jump scares, few and little, but enough to remind you, you're watching a horror, some points gained from the fact that they ended the movie instead of prolonging it to a small infinity. So all in all, 5 is just the grade for "Patrick", could have been better, huge potential, very good atmospheric shots throughout the movie, very dark and moody, but still, 2014 shows that horror are not made like they used to. I recommend it for a late night, especially during a storm.
Cheers!
