Patrick/Patrick: Evil Awakens Blu-ray

Umbrella Entertainment has announced that it will release on Blu-ray Richard Franklin's Patrick (1978) and Mark Hartley's Patrick (2013). The double-feature release, which will be part of the label's recently launched Ozploitation Classics series, will be available for purchase on July 7.

Label description: Patrick (1978) follows the irreversible coma of Patrick, who has been at the mysterious Roget clinic for the past several years. His doctor thinks he's nothing more than 170 pounds of limp meat hanging off a comatose brain, but a young nurse, Kathy knows very differently. Patrick has burgeoning psychic powers and a crush on Kathy - and his affection is about to turn into a deadly and a bloody obsession.
