Patrick lebt! (1980)
10KPatrick lebt!: Directed by Mario Landi. With Sacha Pitoëff, Gianni Dei, Mariangela Giordano, John Benedy. Five people receive an anonymous letter revealing a secret of theirs and inviting them to come stay at a mansion that houses a clinic run by a corrupt doctor who experiments on the brain of his comatose son.
“Ah, the wonders of exploitation cinema For reasons incomprehensible to the normal-functioning human mind, director Mario Landi decided to make an extremely gory and sleazy Italian sequel to a tame and almost bloodless Australian thriller. u0026quot;Patrick Still Livesu0026quot; hence became one of the poorest and most pointless movies ever, with an ultra-thin and laughable storyline, absolutely no tension and secondhand sets u0026amp; scenery. The good news, however, is that it also ranks as one of the sickest and most misogynistic productions ever, which then again makes the ultimate u0026quot;wanna-haveu0026quot; for avid cult collectors. Thatu0026#39;s horror fan logic for ya! Professor and private-clinic owner Herschell is looking for the person responsible for his sonu0026#39;s eternal coma and therefore he lures a bunch of weird people to his estate. Patrick lives like a vegetable but he can still count on his telekinetic powers to violently kill everyone within a close range and thus all the guests die in horrid ways, whether theyu0026#39;re guilty of anything or not. These murders are clearly intended to come across as nasty and extremely mean-spirited but the make up effects are cheap, so the movie never at one point feels disturbing. The goofiest thing definitely is the complete lack of structure! The male character of which I thought heu0026#39;d be the surviving hero is one the first to die and there isnu0026#39;t even a real ending to the story. In case the clinic location looks familiar to you, it means you watch way too many crappy movies like this! The same mansion was used in Andrea Bianchiu0026#39;s u0026quot;Burial Groundu0026quot;. Both movies were scripted (if you can call it that) by Piero Regnoli and they also share a lead actress! Mariangela Giordano, who has a poker stuffed up her vagina, is the same woman whose boob got bitten off in u0026quot;Burial Groundu0026quot;. Somehow, her entire career seems to revolve on her intimate parts! u0026quot;Patrick Still Livesu0026quot; is warmly recommended to all you sick puppies out there.”
