A few new images from this October’s straight to DVD feature THE DEVIL’S CHAIR have surfaced online today, and while I wasn’t initially into the release, I must admit… these new images are promising! Why? Two words: hotties and blood… lots and lots of blood!
Starring David Gant, Andrew Howard, Elize DuToit, and Polly Brown, and directed by Adam Mason, THE DEVIL’S CHAIR goes like this: With a pocketful of drugs, Nick West (Andrew Howard) takes out his girlfriend Sammy (Polly Brown), 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. After Sammy is brutally assaulted and murdered by unseen forces, Nick becomes the number-one suspect. Years pass and Nick, who had been locked up in a mental hospital, is released into the care of eminent psychiatrist Dr. Willard (David Gant), who is hell-bent on exposing the truth behind the killing. Accompanied by Dr. Willard and several of his students, Nick returns to the scene of the crime. However, the decrepit asylum hides a blood-drenched secret. With Dr. Willard’s team in mortal danger, their only hope is the clinically insane Nick. Chained by memories of the horrifying event and the conflicting version of reality engendered by his psychiatric treatment, Nick is forced to fight the forces of pure darkness to save the team and prove his innocence. Events build to a brutal, gut-wrenching climax where nothing is what it seems, but everyone is ripe for slaughter.
Whoa, talk about complicated! And the lesson to walk away with here? Don’t go into abandoned insane asylums for a good time because… you won’t have a good time! Have a blast with the new images below, and get ready for THE DEVIL’S CHAIR on DVD October 7th.
