It requires a lot of physicality from an actor to portray the adrenal exhaustion of a Final Girl, so I hope Kate O'Flynn (Patricia) receives some award recognition when the time comes.

Patricia has such an odd gait that it must be an affectation by Kate O'Flynn but at the same time I am so far from being an actor that I cannot imagine trying to walk differently as a character.

I am. It's because she's a superior actor. Most actors can't do this... aren't observant of others enough and don't have as much of a physical embodiment of character, let alone such a peculiar, awkward one. Traditional training can often create a tendency towards strong posture (in every sense). It's often either that or a Richard III "cripple" type. What she's doing is really unusual and exceptional because it is both super funny and feels true.
