The Patron

About This Movie

So, 'The Patron' is an interesting blend of comedy and horror that really plays with atmosphere. You have Howard, this earnest librarian, who’s thrown into chaos when Jeff – this patron with some seriously delusional ideas – tries to summon a god right in the library. The pacing is a bit erratic, which actually works in its favor, as it builds that unsettling tension. I mean, it’s not your typical horror fare; it leans into absurdity while exploring themes of obsession and power dynamics. The practical effects stand out too, adding a gritty texture that feels refreshing. Performances are a mixed bag, but that adds to its charm; Howard's earnestness against Jeff's madness is a dynamic that keeps you engaged.
