First Look At ‘You’re Next’ Star Shari Vinson In ‘Patrick’!
The Herald Sun has shared the first ever look at You’re Next star Sharni Vinson in Patrick, a contemporary re-imagining of Richard Franklin’s seminal 1970’s Australian classic chiller that will be directed by Mark Hartley.
Also starring Rachel Griffiths and Charles Dance, “After killing is mother and her lover some years before, Patrick is the comatose patient in room 15 of a remote, private psychiatric clinic run by the secretive Dr Roget, who treats him as a guinea pig in his bizarre studies of life and death. When Kathy, a nurse who has recently separated from her boyfriend, begins working at the clinic, she is instructed to care for him. She is disturbed by Roget’s treatment of him and somehow feels that Patrick is trying to make a connection with her.
When Kathy realizes that the lifeless murderer can communicate, she is shocked but compelled to prove her theory. Patrick has psychokinetic powers which he uses to talk to Kathy by transferring his thoughts to a computer. As Patrick’s communication becomes stronger, strange and terrifying events begin to occur. Patrick has feelings for Kathy and his affection is about to manifest itself as a deadly, bloody obsession.”
Filming is taking place in Australia for release in 2013.
News Ltd can reveal the first images of Vinson in character for Patrick as young nurse Kathy, who becomes the obsession of a coma patient with telekinetic powers.
Vinson speaks on the physical role: “The first day was the best of any shoot I’ve done. They scheduled all the big action scenes from for the first day. I got rigged up with the harness and came flying through the air and crashing into big mats.
“I’ve definitely already done some damage to my elbow, which is super-swollen,” added the 29-year-old, showing off a lumpy red joint. “But if I don’t injure myself on set, it’s not me.”
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
