  The Devil's Chair is one of those films that has a good concept for a film, unfortunately , the filmmakers don't know how to build up on the idea and ends up with a really bad film. This film sucks. The film seemed interesting, and I thought the film had an interesting idea for a film. Unfortunately, the film just didn't deliver. The Devil's Chair is an awful film that has a poor plot. I felt that that film was poorly made, and that director Adam Mason directed a film that is simply bland, tired and overall unimpressive. I hated the film, and thought it was a mess. There are many sequences that simply don't make sense, and frankly don't add anything of interest to the film. This film might have worked if the script would have been worked on a little bit harder. There was some interesting ideas for a film, but none seem to really work. The Devil's Chair was a bad horror flick with a poor cast, poor directing and a poorly constructed script. This was boring, and The Devil's Chair was simply a forgettable film not worth your time. I thought that the film was a missed opportunity to do something truly memorable. The film tried too hard to deliver on the gore with little emphasis on horror. Adam Mason is terrible director in the genre. This film just goes to show that he isn't capable of directing a film that has genuine terror or suspense. That's what this film lacks.

  My first impression: fuck every other word does not make for good dialogue. I'm not a prude about swearing, but too much and anything you're trying to put across gets swamped and makes you sound like a 14 year old trying to impress his mates and seem 'hard'.… More
  My first impression: fuck every other word does not make for good dialogue. I'm not a prude about swearing, but too much and anything you're trying to put across gets swamped and makes you sound like a 14 year old trying to impress his mates and seem 'hard'. Sadly, the fuck-fest was not the worst of my viewing experience. Even when Nick West was supposed to be somewhat sympathetic, he appeared to be the kind of person I'd cross the street to avoid. I suppose the hideously sexist, angry drivelling rant of over narration (which actually worked quite well at the beginning bar the extreme potty-mouth) was supposed to be a hint to his true nature. The idea is a decent one on paper/in retrospect, but it was pretty horrid to sit through at the time. The scenes on the 'other side' look effective, but they quickly descend into gore-hound territory and stick there for the duration of their appearance. The dialogue is laughable (seriously), though I suppose the jar between it appearing serious and sounding ridiculous may have been intentional. This was aided by the, ahem, performance, of Matt Berry - star of lovely comedy series such as Garth Marenghi's Darkplace and The IT Crowd. I suppose he had a mortgage to pay. I found Hostel pretty unpleasant viewing, but this film makes it seem rather inoffensive in comparison.

  Best thing about this movie was the closing song. I'm about to give up on British Horror, they are 2 for 2 in the under 3 star award. This is about a man who is said to be insane, and also supposed to have killed a girl, but did he or was it the chair. The devil or monster or… More
  Best thing about this movie was the closing song. I'm about to give up on British Horror, they are 2 for 2 in the under 3 star award. This is about a man who is said to be insane, and also supposed to have killed a girl, but did he or was it the chair. The devil or monster or what ever it was supposed to be in the other world was real hokey. Was it the acid, was it the chair, is the guy completely insane, I am beginning to this its me who is insane. The chair now that was the movie, pretty bloody when the drills and metal objects went into the skin, not bad on the blood and gore scale but for over all movie just 1 1/2 stars..

  For a horror film, this is a four because of the split genre format and genre commentary in the main character's narrating voice-over, as well as the demon creature and related effects. The sets are interestingly bare and bleak, and the actors know how to overact on purpose. The gore is pretty great and the practical effects are fun, and I can also tolerate the bits of CG effects. The main reason I like this movie so much is that I would have written this script from the synopsis the same way that is done here. The framing technique gave away the ending to me, but I think that's because I was thinking about how I would do it vs. what would be the worst way to do it. The great thing is...they do it the worst way (the plot) and then switch it into the cleverer mode at the necessary points, leaving a stunner of an ending. The camera work, which is mostly brilliant save a few handheld scenes, matches which version of the story is at work, especially at the ending where the camera is most responsible for the creep-em-out factor. A nice break from the slew of modern B movies with a modern B movie that seeks to subtly satirize itself and its genre. "So Fucked Up" highlight: final reel

  This film apparently embraced itself being a badly acted B horror film which is fine, but then my question would be...so who would want to watch it then?

  When Nick and his girlfriend Sammy go into a old asylum to mess around and take drugs no one expected just one of them to come out alive fast forward alittle and we find Nick now has been locked up the last 4 years in a mental hospital Nick believes his girlfriend was killed when she sat down in a electric chair that was still inside the building now with no more episodes he is set to be released only to be taken back to the asylum by a doctor and his students to find out the truth was Nick the real killer? or was someting more sinister at work?. Really good horror film that crosses genres and i feel is worth the watch even if it is alittle overacted though.

  This films opening sequence and the last half-hour are arguable the only well crafted sequences in its duration.
