Release Date & New Title for the Patrick Remake
We have had a slew of posters, a couple of trailers and a bounty of images, but today we can finally reveal the U.S. release date for the flick. Not only that, but the film is getting a new title in the States.
According to our friends over at Fangoria, Patrick will be renamed as Patrick: Evil Awakens, and the film is set to hit select theatres this March 14th via Phase 4 Films.
The film stars Richard E. Grant (Dracula, Corpse Bride), Rachel Griffiths (Blow), and Sharni Vinson (You’re Next), with Mark Hartley (Not Quite Hollywood) on directing duties.
Synopsis: After killing his mother and her lover some years before, Patrick is the comatose patient in Room 15 of a remote, private psychiatric clinic run by the secretive Dr. Roget, who treats him as guinea pig in his bizarre studies of life and death.
When Kathy, a nurse who has recently separated from her boyfriend, begins working at the clinic, she is instructed to care for Patrick. She is disturbed by Roget’s treatment of him and somehow feels that Patrick is trying to make a connection with her. When Kathy realizes that the lifeless murderer can communicate, she is shocked but compelled to prove her theory. Patrick has psychokinetic powers, which he uses to talk to Kathy by transferring his thoughts to her computer. As Patrick’s communication becomes stronger, strange and terrifying events begin to occur. Patrick has feelings for Kathy, and his affection is about to manifest itself as a deadly, bloody obsession.
