Featured review
A thrilling and disturbing film with mostly Italian actors as Sacha Pitoëff , Gianni Dei , Mariangela Giordano, Carmen Russo about a young who is wounded in a roadside incident and is in a coma developing strange powers and resulting a weird effect on the people . It stars Patrick (Giani Dei) , a young man whose father (Sacha Pittoeff) runs an isolated spa . 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 the mysterious doctor who experiments on the brain of his comatose son. As five people arrive at the clinic : a corrupt politician called Lyndon Kraft (Franco Silva) , his wife ,Cheryl (Carmen Russo) , an ex-model, who sleeps in different rooms , a swimming star , David who's the son of a wealthy investor , and a tough-talking man , Peter (John Benedy) and woman, Stella (Mariangela Giordano) who arrive together but sleep in separate rooms . They're greeted by Lydia Grant (Andrea Belfiore) , the doctor's new assistant . A bit later on , Patrick begins to exhibit bizarre phenomenon , as he is in bed , wired to three comatose bodies and suddenly using his psychic powers he comes in contact with . He starts by sending his messages on a nernearby typewriter but gets violent when he perceives certain people as his harassed contenders , then executing a bloody vendetta , ensuing a blood feast . Later on , one by one , the guests get killed . The comatose hospital patient harasses and kills through his powers of telekinesis. Does Patrick have feelings? . Patrick is Nearly Dead ... And Still He Kills! . Some people thought he was insane, He appeared to be deaf, dumb and blind, None of them knew of the sixth sense: The power of PATRICK'S mind ! .Patrick doesn't need his body anymore. He'll scare the hell out of you. Acclaimed or panned by moviegoers and critics everywhere !. Patrick has a way with people . His way. Or else. The Italian killer-in-a-coma exploitation classic!.
Thunderously overwhrought pile of Grand Guignol horror and displaying a lot of slaughter , mayhem , sickening images and poltergeister with Patrick's considerable telekinesis talents . It is one of the nastiest , sleaziest and most brutal gore flicks ever produced in Italy . Including several nude women suffering grim , terrible and gory comeuppances and leaving nothing to the imagination . The plot is well known , plain and simple : a young has secret amazing powers to move things with her mind , and making her angry could prove to be deadly . While the original Australian film ¨Patrick¨ (1978) by Richard Franklyn had some of violence but nothing really bloody , this Patrick vive ancora (1980) nearly no connection to its predecessor , being really a crazy exploitation from Italy . Resulting to be an exercise in pure depravity with special mention for a female character being stalked by a metal pole and through the use of viewers are treated to all manner of sexual shenanigans, and some really grisly scenes of carnage , including two viciously barking dogs devouring a woman . A sickening , totally incompetent , an absolute insult to good taste , especially the horrible frames about a vicious wife stabbed in the crotch , which qualifies Patrick still alive for an extremely elevated sleaziness . That's why it's rated NC-17 or R due to extreme graphic violence , continuous full male and female nudity, adding strong sexual scenes , language and many other things. Mediocre main and support cast with full of gorgeous naked women , such as : Mariangela Giordano , Carmen Russo , Anna Veneziano and Andrea Belfiore . And Gianni Dei as the young Patrick laying comatose in a small private hospital while giving a unsettling and disturbing appearance .
This horror-thriller was lousily directed by Mario Landi , although marketed as straight sequel to the Ozzy terror "Patrick" , it has little to do with the former movie . Landi was an Italian craftsman from the Fifties , directing acceptable dramas and comedies such as ¨Siamo tutti Milanes¨ , ¨Canzoni per le strade¨ , ¨Maigret at the Pigalle¨, ¨Jacob and Esau¨ played by notorious European actors as Ugo Tognazzi, Walter Chiari , Gino Cervi , Raymond Pellegrin , Fosco Giachetti , Ken Clark, Massimo Serato . However, in the Seventies he moved to explotiation , grim terror , sex comedy and softcore , such as : ¨Batton Story¨ , ¨Il Viziaccio¨, ¨Supersexy Market¨ , and the extremely gory Giallo : ¨Giallo a Venezia¨ made in similar style to ¨Patrick still lives¨ . Rating . 3.5/10. Below average, no for squeamish .
