(Australia 1978)                

A psychotic comatose young man uses his psychic powers to combat his enemies when he falls in love with the nurse who is watching over him.
Psychic thrillers were all the rage in the 70s, and this one has a rather touching if under-explained element to it, as well as traces of Hitchcock (the director went on to make Psycho II).
