The Chair (2016) Reviews

• They did try...

  Roddy Piper's last film role. Zach Galligan & Noah Hathaway are virtually unrecognizable. Ezra Buzzington & Kin Shriner were other actors I recognized. THE CHAIR adheres to it's tag line, 'On Death Row, The Only Monster is Man." It has an interesting idea, & a VERY interesting twist. But the lack of production values hurt my suspension of disbelief. The Prison was the problem. It looked so little like it should have (just a bunch of tunnels) that I had a hard time investing in the rest of the film. Normally I would be distracted from the sets by the nudity, but there was none. Despite the lack of budget, hey tried hard to make this a serious film. For film completists, fans of these actors & the curious. Otherwise, there are better ways to waste your time...

  I was blown away by the cinematography and the plot kept me jumping forward and backwards in my natural desire to predict the outcome or reveal. The cruelest forms f punishment often times come at the end of our own hands....or do they?

  Hey whattya want from a low budget horror flick? the plot moves along, a little slow for my taste at first but it picks up. my big complaint was the production value, everything is so dark and its like they are trying to create a surreal atmosphere... to me it got in the way. still i liked it... for what it is
