THE PATIENT (1988)
From the VIDEO VAULT of Matt Porter...this time going all the way back to 1988 to bring you "THE PATIENT", a quirky tale set on Christmas Eve.
*
The movie stars Pat Friel, Larry Branca, and Bill Grant, was written and directed by David Foster. All of the camera and editing by me, Matt Porter, with the soundtrack by Robert Barsky.
*
THE PATIENT was originally produced for a short movie contest held by Saturday Night Dead, a late-night horror movie show that aired from 1984-1990 on KYW-TV Channel 3 in Philly. Saturday Night Dead was broadcast after Saturday Night Live and was hosted by the gorgeous Stella, "the man-eater from Manayunk".

Shot and edited on vhs.... tape-to-tape... a long time ago.
