Plot:

Kathy (Sharni Vinson) is a young nurse that is eager to prove herself in her new job in an isolated psychiatric clinic. She's intrigued by Patrick (Jackson Gallagher), a comatose patient that her boss Dr. Roget (Charles Dance) assures her is incapable of truly responding to any external stimuli. Kathy is horrified by the experiments that Roget and his nurse Matron Cassidy (Rachel Griffiths) inflict upon him, and she's initially pleased when she finds a way to communicate with him. This quickly turns to horror when Patrick uses his psychic abilities to interfere with her life outside of the hospital, as Patrick has grown obsessed with Kathy and will harm anyone that he deems to be interfering with his relationship with her.

Review:

This is a low budget (remake) Australian horror film. The special effects are very well done for a low budget, I've seen some higher budget films with worse to be honest. The cinematography in this film was done by Garry Richards and he did a splendid job. The lead actress Sharni Vinson (You're Next) was great as always. And the rest of the cast was good in general.

The plot itself makes you think twice about comatose people and telekinesis in a whole new light. Basically the movie is about a stalker in a coma with the ability to make your life hell. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
