3/10
Patrick is a self absorbed bastard
10 June 2016
Largely ignored 2013 remake of the little known 1978 Australian psychological thriller!

This awkward, self-conscious homage to the original is made even worse by inconsistent acting and the clumsy overuse of not-particularly-good CGI. Walter Dance was somehow roped into a lead role (possibly via blackmail) but not even his commanding presence can mask the appalling stench of this dunger.

Shot in a controversial colour palette of teal and brown, Patrick features a Pino Donaggio score, a half-written script, Walter Dance eating a frog, and more B-grade horror tropes than you can throw a dog at.

Best line: 'You are a prissy, meddling little bitch who's wasting my precious time, and I would dearly love you to **** off!'

Worst line: 'Patrick wants his hand job!'

I rate Patrick at 9.99 on the Haglee Scale, which works out as a shocking 3/10 on IMDb.
