In room 15 of the mysterious Roget clinic lies a 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! (Umbrella Entertainment)

"Patrick" is an excellent movie that shows that a B-movie can be meaningful, that it's not just action, but it has depth and good psychology along with good characters. You get exactly that here with a plot that is simple but very well executed. I had heard a lot about "Patrick" before I watched it, I had even seen the remake, but the original film definitely did not disappoint me, and it didn't even feel like it's already quite old.
