Every good serial killer needs a gimmick. Jason has the hockey mask, Freddy has the razored glove, and Patrick (1978) has . . . well, a hospital bed. Yep, this Aussie thriller features the scariest psycho to ever terrorize a town while in a coma. He starts out as a normal kid who electrocutes his mother after he catches her in the tub with her lover. But a few years later, Patrick is a catatonic mess who uses his psychic powers to cause all kinds of mayhem. And you can’t blame him for showing off, since he’s got a crush on cute nurse Susan Penhaligon.
