    A poor "Session 9"...

    People in an old abandoned asylum ? Going crazy ? Dying ?

    We've already seen it all before, and this time, although the production and cast are decent (the overall sound design is actually quite good despite too many squishy noises), I just can't help but think of Brad Anderson's excellent (if flawed in its own ways) "Session 9". Way better.

    Sorry, but since braincells don't work on cash, a low budget doesn't excuse a poor script.

    So let's make it short : if you want gore & predictable "twists" you might enjoy this one ; if you'd prefer a better film go for "Session 9". My vote is 3 out of 10, however totally unreasonably raised to a 5 due to Matt Berry's appearance (I'm a Boosh fan), and Zoe Keating's beautiful score.

    An Interesting Spin on the Classic Horror

    I just got back from seeing this movie at the TIFF and I will start out by saying that if you are the type of person who likes to have everything clearly spelled out for you in a movie, this film is not for you. Likewise, if you are looking for a non-stop gorefest, you are likely to be disappointed. All of that aside, I thought the movie to be very interesting and certainly worth the watch. I've never been a fan of movies with narration, but this one executes it quite nicely. The narrative dialogue is witty and often injects a bit of humor into the film. The main story follows a man (Nick) in a mental facility for the criminally insane after he and his girlfriend enter an abandoned asylum and she dies. Nick insists that she was taken by a demonic chair. 4 years later, a doctor has him released, so that Nick, the doctor and his team can explore the scene of the murder and thing quickly go down hill from there. The cinematography in this film is interesting and the sound effects give the movie a lot more edge considering the gore is minimal aside from the liberal use of blood. Overall, this movie was definitely worth watching and I look forward to its release on DVD so I can watch it again!

    The Devil's Chair is far from perfect, but horror enthusiasts looking for something different may enjoy it.

    I recently watched the UK film 🇬🇧 The Devil's Chair (2007) on Tubi. The storyline follows a couple who, on a date, stumble upon an abandoned asylum they think would make the perfect spot for a sexual escapade. When the woman sits in a mysterious chair, things take a horrifying turn, and blood ends up everywhere. The man is soon imprisoned, accused of her murder. Years later, a researcher receives permission to take him back to the crime scene so he can recount his story. Once they return to the asylum, it doesn't take long for trouble to arise.

    Directed by Adam Mason (Blood River), the film stars Andrew Howard (Taken 3), Pollyanna Rose (Turistas), Elize du Toit (Skyfall), Louise Griffiths (Chastity Bites), and Matt Berry (Snow White and the Huntsman).

    This is definitely an uneven movie, but there's a lot to like. The main character can be a bit over-the-top and his acting inconsistent, which might get annoying, but his narration isn't awful. The dialogue and acting feel a bit low-budget, and the circumstances can be a stretch at times. However, the "monster" is surprisingly well-executed, and the kills are better than expected, with plenty of blood splatter. The film also delivers a strong twist, making the ending far more satisfying than expected.

    In conclusion, The Devil's Chair is far from perfect, but horror enthusiasts looking for something different may enjoy it. I'd score it a 5-5.5/10 and recommend watching it once.

    amateur and unoriginal

    I am a big fan of English film and have been excited by recent films like The Descent, and Dead Mans Shoes in the horror genre; and I hope that filmmakers with the sort of vision that makes these films possible get all the accolades and funding that they require to continue taking English film forward.

    however, this film and its director Adam 'I'm a t**t' mason, makes me embarrassed to have been born in the same country. To say this film is conceited would be a massive compliment, it attempts the self aware horror take a la 'Man Bites Dog' where the protagonist psycho talks to the audience and even at one point says 'is this what you want, this badly written, terribly acted horror movie' or something of the sort and I agree whole heartedly. The acting is shallow, the 'big plot twists' are tedious and I found it difficult to care about the characters at all.

    I implore that you do not watch this movie unless you are staving off suicide with terrible self involved movies

    It doesn't make sense but i think that was its intentions..

    Im a huge horror fan and after watching this it left me feeling very uneasy towards the end it doesn't make sense none of it does but when you grasp the ending you begin to realize the devil chair/torture chamber wasn't real the entire movie was based on nick wests demented sociopathic mindset it was merely in his mind that was infact confirmed when the scene showed him kissing the student Rachel who resembled his first girlfriend only to realize she was not there thats when the movie is put in its true perspective that it was all in his mind that every scene was not real it has a clever story plot but the CGI monster wasn't scary at all and the gore seemed somewhat repetitive i give it a 3/10
