The pop culture detective struck gold!
There’s so much to love about Patrick:
Minimalist horror. I mean horror on a low budget that has a big effect on the viewer
How the unlikely plot elements (coma patient, telekinesis) come together in a satisfying narrative
Themes of women’s liberation skillfully woven into the narrative
We’re a few days away from Halloween when this lands, so if you’re list for 31 days of horror is incomplete add this one to the list.
One correction: I said that Link (1986) was written by Everett DeRoche. That was a mistake. Everett wrote the screenplay from a story by Lee David Zlotoff and Tom Ackermann. The screenplay does not 100-percent originate with Everett. My mistake.
Have a safe and happy Halloween!
