This week on the podcast, we're delving into a unique double feature with Jeremy as we compare and contrast two iterations of a gripping Australian thriller: Richard Franklin's original "Patrick" from 1978 and Mark Hartley's contemporary remake in 2013.
"Patrick," a seminal piece of Australian cinema, tells the story of a comatose young man with telekinetic powers who uses them to communicate and exert influence from his hospital bed. Franklin's 1978 version is celebrated for its suspenseful atmosphere and innovative storytelling, marking a significant moment in the Ozploitation movement.
Fast forward to 2013, and Hartley's remake revisits this intriguing premise with a modern twist, offering new technologies and filmmaking techniques to explore the eerie potential of Patrick's abilities. This version pays homage to the original and attempts to stand on its own with updated effects, pacing, and a contemporary aesthetic.
Join Jeremy and me as we dive into both films' production, thematic elements, and the impact of each version on audiences and the horror genre. Whether you're a fan of classic horror or interested in how remakes can reinterpret original material, this episode promises a fascinating look at two distinct approaches to a chilling story.
