Synopsis:

In room 15 of the mysterious Roget clinic lies young comatose murderer named Patrick. His doctor thinks he's nothing more than 170 pounds of limp meat hanging off a comatose brain, but a young nurse, Kathy (Susan Penhaligon), knows very differently. Patrick has burgeoning psychic powers and a crush on Kathy and his affection is about to turn into a deadly and bloody obsession! A classic example of Ozploitation cinema from acclaimed Hitchcock protege, Richard Franklin, written by veteran genre scribe Everett DeRoche and also featuring Robert Helpmann and Julia Blake, Patrick is an unsettling tale of telekinetic terror, cunning and creepy to the last gasp.

After the shocking bathtub death of his mother and her lover, the sinister 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.

A comatose hospital patient harasses and kills though his powers of telekinesis to claim his private nurse as his own.
