The Horror Movie: Patrick

on BBC One London

Starring Susan Penhaligon, Robert Helpmann

Comatose since his mother's 'accidental' death from an electric shock, 24-year-old Patrick is confined to his bed in a second-rate hospital. The only person who shows him any sympathy is his new nurse Kathy, who begins to see that Patrick has strange powers. As Patrick's 'force' increases he dominates the hospital and the callous Dr Roget in a climax at once terrifying and bizarre.
