I didn't get to see You're Next at Fantastic Fest a few years ago, but really liked it during its encore screenings this spring at SXSW. Amazingly, this is Sharni Vinson's next on-screen work, albeit in a more traditional role as a female heroine in a suspense/horror film. Sharni is Kathy, a nurse who takes a recently-opened caregiver assignment as the mysterious Roget Clinic, where doctor Roget cares for and works to cure deep coma patients. One particular patient is the focus of his attention - Patrick - and Kathy is drawn to his blight. Wait, is he communicating with her? Indeed, for Patrick is developing psychic powers, and has a secret plan that threatens Kathy, the clinic, and everyone she knows.
This is a remake of a campy 1970s horror, rewritten for modern pacing. I probably would hate the original, but this one was pretty good.
Patrick
2013, 95 minutes, directed by Mark Hartley
