Kate Beckinsale and Ryan Phillippe Star in Psychological Thriller Patient X

Kate Beckinsale and Ryan Phillippe headline Patient X, a gripping psychological thriller in which a hospital becomes a prison and the truth may prove more dangerous than the lies.

Following a devastating car accident, a man (Phillippe) awakens in hospital partially paralysed and suffering from memory loss. Under the care of the mysterious Dr Rose (Beckinsale), he is presented with an account of his life that he simply does not recognise.

Confined to his hospital bed and unable to escape, he begins to question the motives of those supposedly caring for him. As his suspicions grow, he slowly uncovers evidence that he is being manipulated into accepting a false identity, concealing a dark political secret with potentially far-reaching consequences.

Blending paranoia, deception and political intrigue, Patient X explores the terrifying prospect of losing control over your own identity and being unable to trust anyone around you.

The 81-minute thriller is written and directed by Mukunda Michael Dewil, whose previous credits include Vehicle 19 and Prey. Beckinsale is known for roles in Pearl Harbor and The Aviator, while Phillippe's credits include I Know What You Did Last Summer and Cruel Intentions.

Patient X will be available to own digitally in the UK from 14 December 2026, distributed by Signature Entertainment.
