โ€ข
A young nurse is assigned to care for a patient considered irrecoverable: it's Patrick, a young man in a deep coma following the trauma of his parents' death, which he himself caused. The woman manages to improve the patient's condition and immediately envies arise towards her; but whoever takes it out on the young nurse meets a bad end. Surprise ending. Discreet Australian horror, directed with a steady hand and well acted. Few blood scenes and an ending that, according to the director's intentions, was meant to be a surprise, but the more perceptive will guess it already halfway through the film.
