Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Oslo Jargo (Bartok Kinski) *** This review may contain spoilers *** *Plot and ending analyzed*Patrick Still Lives could have been an interesting concept, but it is a tedious bore since they do nothing with the premise. It is an Italian horror film, so they ripped someone off, the case being here, Patrick (1978) from Australia. Patrick (1978) was a creepy film I remember. Patrick Still Lives says it is a sequel, but don't be mislead. It is a padding time of one hour and a few nude scenes and horror scenes with green eyes superimposed on the screen. That's pretty much it. Even the nudity can't carry this boring film.The corny premise is that a doctor, whose son, Patrick, who got tagged by someone in a car with a bottle, is out for revenge. He invites some dull people to a villa where he has three living specimens on tables who are engaging Patrick, who is on another bed, with psychical energy.The problem with the film is that nothing happens at all, the people talk us to death, and there's no sense of horror at all.Patrick (2013) was even worse, substituting the boring scenes with boring CGI images.
atinder Patrick still lives (1980)It's meant to be some kind of Italy sequel./remake to 1978 Patrick movie Partick talking to dad who in car and then passing car Thorws something out of it and makes his face bleed. Which sends him into a coma and then start to use is power to kill off everyone with telekinetic powers in that same building were he is being kept. This movie well, it didn't take to long start, the movie way to sleazy, far to much nudity in this movie, I don't mind some. Some of death scene were decent and some very bloody ones and but with to much nudity and some-what gory deaths. The movie was not creepy and 1978 one, Its spent to much time on others, I wanted more time with Patrick. I didn't really like the eye effects in this movie at all, 5 out of 10
BA_Harrison There really is no hope for coma patient Patrick Herschell (Gianni Dei): if he doesn't snap out of his catatonic state while gorgeous blonde secretary Lydia Grant (Andrea Belfiore), the object of his lust, feverishly masturbates mere inches from his face, then he never will!For several years now, poor Patrick has been a prisoner of his bed, unable to do anything but stare at the ceiling; he's been that way ever since a careless litter-lout threw a bottle from the window of a passing car, hitting him squarely in the face. While caring for his son, Patrick's father (Sacha Pitoëff), eminent professor and owner of a posh health clinic, has devised a system that allows his son to project his thoughts and move objects at will. With this incredible power, Patrick is able to vent his frustration and anger on the group of people currently staying at the clinic, one of whom may be the person responsible for his inability to do anything but perspire while a total babe is frottering against his bedstead.Although often referred to as an 'unofficial sequel' to 1978 Aussie psychic chiller Patrick, the plot for this exploitative, gory and sexually explicit trash-fest from director Mario Landi is completely unconnected to that movie; Landi simply borrows the basic premise and central character to tell his own twisted story. Not that I'm complaining, mind you, because I love a really sleazy Italian trash-fest, and they don't come much deviant than this unapologetically OTT sucker!From the word go, Patrick Still Lives delivers the goods in terms of quality female flesh, with plenty of nudity from what must be the finest collection of Italian crumpet ever assembled for a low-budget knock-off of a minor Aussie horror flick. Working alongside the lovely Lydia is the equally sexy Meg (Anna Veneziano), whose only responsibility at the clinic seems to be to pet the guard dogs; the female guests are also real crackers, with politician's wife Cheryl (Carmen Russo) possessing a magnificent set of breasts and the gorgeous Stella (Mariangela Giordano) also being the owner of a mighty impressive set of curves (and an equally hairy minge—natch!).For over half an hour, viewers must be content with this constant display of nekkidness courtesy of these fine fillies, after which Patrick finally begins to rack up some kills: first to go is Carmen's hubby, boiled alive in a swimming pool (or frozen by the dry ice that is used to achieve the crap bubbling water effect); the next victim is hung up on a hook, the point piercing under the chin; the third victim arguably suffers the worst fate—a roasting spit rammed up her vagina and out of her mouth (with no gory detail spared!!!!); one of the women has her head sliced off by an electric car window; last but not least, the guard dogs turn on Meg and eat her alive (man's best friend, but apparently not so nice to women).Despite Landi's focus being on the sex and violence, the film also boasts some startlingly effective imagery along with all the blood, boobs and bush: garish coloured lighting transforms many an otherwise mundane scene into a macabre cartoonish nightmare, and although the effect might be considered laughable these days, the repeated image of Patrick's eyes multiplied over the action is certainly very memorable. A Goblin-style synth score from Berto Pisano lends a soupçon of class (where none was really needed).A pointless blackmail subplot is never resolved, and once Patrick has sated his desire for revenge, Landi wraps up his film in extremely abrupt fashion without revealing the real identity of the bottle-thrower, but since most people who check out this film will be be doing so purely for the nudity and splatter, this lack of exposition is excusable.7.5 out of 10, rounded up to 8 for IMDb.
HumanoidOfFlesh Mario Landi's "Patrick Still Lives" has to be one of the sleaziest exploitation sickies ever made in Italy.It's filled with incredible amount of nudity and masturbation.Gianni Dei plays Patrick,a young man who is sent into coma as the result of the random act of violence.He lies in his bed looking into space for the most part and killing people with his telekinetic powers.The script is pretty bad,but the gore is mildly shocking.Still the scene where Maria Angela Giordano has a long metal pole pushed into her vagina is a real jaw dropper...Another offensive murder scene involves a lovely black-haired Anna Veneziano killed by her own dogs:they chase her all over the grounds before biting,licking and chewing her around the genitals,eventually killing her.The masturbation scene of stunningly beautiful Andrea Belfiore is also worth mentioning.Like earlier Mario Landi's sleazefest "Giallo a Venezia"(1979),"Patrick Still Lives" is cheap,shoddy,misogynistic and gleefully disgusting.It's just a pure exploitation film,so you should enjoy it as such.Highly recommended,if you like sleaze and extreme gore.
