As it stands, Hartley has too much respect for the genre films that precede him, and in translating this respect he fails to find his own voice as a director.

[Patrick] is malevolent, but he's also melancholy-the ultimate example of a guy who likes a girl, but try as he might, can't make a move.

More horror remakes should be as thoughtful as "Patrick: Evil Awakens," an atypically clever riff on the 1978 Australian thriller "Patrick."

Loud and aggressive and obvious, grating on its own terms and revolting as a remake of a reasonably smart, character-oriented horror film.

What was an unassuming, creepy study of the fragile mind and body becomes a clumsy delivery system for cheap scares and bad CGI.

This is a remake of the 1978 movie by the same name. The 1978 one is much better...and that's not saying much.

Certainly not great, has terrible special effects and a truly awful score. But has good acting and gets an extra star for Sharni Vinson.

Falsely intriguing starts that turns into worse than a cliche

Absolute garbage. The first 3rd is intriguing enough to make you think it has potential. Then it wanes, then around the halfway mark it nose dives. One of the most predictable horror movies I've seen and that's saying something. The rules of it's universe change over and over and there's no feeling of risk for the viewer. Save yourself 93 minutes.
