The Devil's Chair
With a pocketful of drugs, Nick West takes out his girlfriend Sammy, for a shag and a good time. When they explore an abandoned asylum, the discovery of a bizarre device - a cross between an electric chair and sadistic fetish machine - transforms drugged-out bliss into agony and despair
Why it matters
A grim descent into twisted fetishistic horror where a drug-fueled thrill turns into a tormenting nightmare.
- Practical gore effects hold up as the film’s most visceral and committed element amid uneven visuals.
- An unlikeable protagonist whose fourth-wall-breaking gambit divides viewers but adds a layer of meta discomfort.
- Atmospheric setting in an abandoned asylum taps into classic haunted space tropes with a sadistic, mechanical centerpiece.
- Not for casual viewers—its slow pacing and jarring CGI might frustrate, but fans of niche, transgressive horror will find something to dissect.
