The film popularised Ozploitation films in other territories.[3] A remake was released in 2013. Cast Susan Penhaligon as Kathie Jacquard Robert Helpmann as Dr. Roget Rod Mullinar as Ed Jacquard Robert Thompson as Patrick Bruce Barry as Dr. Brian Wright Julia Blake as Matron Cassidy Helen Hemingway as Sister Williams María Mercedes as Nurse Panicale Walter Pym as Capt. Fraser Frank Wilson as Det. Sgt. Grant John P. Boddie as the Multi-Colored Mice Production This was the second script Everett de Roche had ever written, following Long Weekend (1978). It had been around for a number of years before director Richard Franklin became attached. The two men had both worked for Crawford Productions although not together until then. De Roche says when Franklin became involved the script was "a rambling 250 pages" and Franklin taught him the elements of drama and suspense. He says the final scene of Patrick leaping out of his bed was inspired by trip to a carnival Franklin had made where a man in a gorilla suit burst out into the audience, causing everyone to scream. They then started working backwards from this scene.[4] Franklin brought in Antony I. Ginnane who raised finance. The Australian Film Commission and Victorian Film Corporation contributed about half the budget, with the rest obtained privately. Ginnane later said he thought De Roche's script was one of the best ever written in Australia.[5] Judy Morris was originally announced as star.[6] However British film actor Susan Penhaligon was imported to play the lead, which Ginnane thought helped secure the film a sale in Britain.[7] Richard Franklin later recalled: I'd done Eskimo Nell in the Australian idiom, and... my [American] friends didn't understand it. So I thought, well, I'll go to the other extreme and have everybody speaking Queen's English. And so I had everybody doing, not so much English accents as just speaking Queen's English.[8] Robert Helpmann broke his back during filming trying to lift up Robert Thompson in one scene.[8] Music The musical score for Patrick was composed and conducted by Australian composer Brian May, who previously composed the music for Franklin's The True Story of Eskimo Nell and was produced by Philip Powers for release on CD with a few short cues of additional music not on the initial LP album. In Italy, the film was re-scored by progressive rock band Goblin.[9][10] Reception The film was considered a disappointment at the Australian box office but was highly successful internationally, selling to over 30 countries and performing well in the US.[2][7] On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 42% of 12 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5.50/10.[11] The Encyclopedia of Fantasy notes the similarity between the film's plot and that of the novel Tetrasomy Two by Oscar Rossiter (nom de plume of Dr. Vernon H.Skeels (1918-2007) ).[12] Franklin says he would refer to this film as "my first film. Even though there were one and a half films before it."[8] However, he was unhappy with the American release of the film which was re-dubbed into American accents and recut.[13] Accolades Award Category Subject Result AACTA Award (1978 Australian Film Institute Awards) Best Film Richard Franklin Nominated Antony I.
