| Urban CinefileAndrew L. UrbanAngry young working class Nick West (Andrew Howard) narrates this hideous story for us in an engaging and self-referential manner that, surprisingly enough, adds to the entertainment value |
| VarietyDennis HarveyDumb sensationalism that trusts blood-buckets dumped on thesps are enough to raise a fright. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...I preferred this movie back when it was called Session 9. |
| User ReviewNorm RBrilliant! Not perfect in all aspect but the movie acknowledges those part, so itâ??s easy to overlook them. I hadnâ??t intended to watch this but was drawn in until it had my full attention. Anyone who give this film a very poor rating probably just doesnâ??t get really psycho/insanity movies, H.P. Lovecraft, Evil Dead, Mr. Frost, nor Visitor Q. |
| User ReviewKyle LThe Devil's Chair is seriously a highly suspenceful Horror film that has a lot of psychological thriller elements mixed with it and it is also a really dark film with lots of twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the end. I seriously enjoyed watching this film and I did enjoy the plot as well and this is Director Adam Mason's best film that mainly beat his other Horror films because his other Horror films tries to be successful but they miserably failed. The plot of The Devil's Chair is about a man name Nick West who is locked in a mental institution due to suspicions about his girlfriend's death and a young doctor name Doctor Willard decides to go back to Blackwater Asylum with the help of Nick West on revealing the truth and when they enter the asylum and after one of Doctor Willard's students vanished in the mysterious chair that Nick West claims where his girlfriend vanished one of them must do something before Rachel dies. I seriously love this flick and it is such a good movie and this film is really appreciated for Horror fans. For the most part The Devil's Chair is a really good Horror film for Horror fans and they will seriously enjoy this film. What's great about The Devil's Chair is that the film is full of suspenceful, scary and creepy scenes and there are lots of suspenceful scenes that will make any Horror fan jump on they're seat and the film itself is really good and there are also a lot of creepy moments as well with the film that makes the viewer want to watch more. I really understand that Adam Mason and his writing partner Simon Boyes really went from a new direction and I have to admit now that the chair in the film is gruesome because the suspense starts when someone sits on the chair and gets sent straight to hell. Director Adam Mason does a good job with his work and I have to tell you this I never watched most of Adam Mason's and Simon Boyes' films I never watched Broken they're first film I only get to watch this movie although I'm really looking forward to watch Adam Mason's first film as well. I understand the style of these two and they went from a totally new direction and everything about The Devil's Chair is really special and worth to watch. The other great things about The Devil's Chair is that the film also has some great creature effects that mainly reminds me of Clive Barker and H.P. Lovecraft because the way the creature looks like reminds me a lot of Clive Barker and H.P. Lovecraft because those two also writes a lot of stories about monsters and creatures as well. What I also like about The Devil's Chair is that the film is also full of gore and blood effects and believe me when you watch this film the first fifteen minutes is full of blood loads and loads of blood which is incredible for the movie there are loads of gore and blood effects towards this film from start to finish and I did like the scene where Rachel gets send straight to hell when she sat on the chair and accidentally activates the controls of the chair and she gets tortured first where all the things from the chair goes inside of her arm and she goes straight to hell and I like that part so far. Plus the last part is really good because once you reached the ending of this film there's loads and loads of blood and gore in the last part of the film and you'll get to see some blood in the last part of the film in which most of the horror fans are going to keep watching over and over again. I also enjoyed the twists and turns of this film and it makes the movie look good. Now the acting is great the performances from the casts are really good so far and they did a good job with they're performances in the film so far. Director Adam Mason and his writing partner Simon Boyes did a good job with they're work in the film and I seriously enjoyed they're work with The Devil's Chair so far and they should keep making more good Horror films in the future because they're work with The Devil's Chair is absolutely fascinating and I'm also interested to watch they're previous film Broken once I find a copy of it. Overall The Devil's Chair gets a 10/10 because this film is really suspenceful, scary and creepy plus it is also full of blood and gore and there's loads and loads of blood and gore in this film. |
| User ReviewSteve WA fucking, bloody brilliantly b-rated film. Andrew Howard plays a scary as fuck character who, at the end of it all, delivers a psycho performance that makes Jack Nicholson look like a pussy. Spot on cinematography that conjures up instant classic horror moments. The actors in this film show why UK actors are the best for horror films. Fuck I love this film! So fucking Intense and truly scary. A must watch at night, alone with all the lights off. |
| User ReviewBruce BBrilliant. Intelligent twisty plot , fantastic acting, a bit of a mind bender. Gets a rare 5/5 out of me. This was FAR FAR better than I expected. Started great, had me feeling disappointed in the demon "section" then suddenly came back with a violent and unexpected turn (well I guessed it coming but i'm GOOD lol) But I have to say they took it a bit further than i predicted. I rented it, and the "extras" were excellent, with some cut scenes and some explanation about the demon "section" that while the ending explained, only made me appreciate it more.. Now to watch his first , "Broken"..can't wait!! If you liked "High Tension" (french) you'll love this. I think Devil's Chair is actually better. Oh, and watch "Martyrs" (french) for sure! |
| User Reviewhopper ka pretty decent movie, not that bad at all. |
| User ReviewJonathan WExcellent horror movie; this is what horror is all about. |
| User ReviewAllen CThe narration was a little lame. If not for that I would give it 4.5/5. For a low budget movie the acting was good and the twist was great. Sure you may have seen the twist before-everything is derivative but the actor nailed it at that point. I loved this movie. |
