Nick West (Andrew Howard doing his best Jason Statham impersonation) heads to an abandoned mental institution with his girlfriend for a round of drugs and sex. The girlfriend ends up dead and Nick ends up institutionalised for being criminally insane. Four years later he is released in to the care of psychiatrist Dr Willard who wants to take Nick back to the scene of the crime. The two of them head off with the doctor’s students (including Matt Berry from Garth Marenghi's Darkplace) in tow.
The Devil's Chair film starts straight forward enough, Nick narrates the story and references the cliches of the genre, there is death and a secret journal, but then, with about 15 minutes to go, the movie swerves in to new territory to finish on a nasty, bloody, high note. The ending is good, but the journey there is much less exciting, and often it is quite annoying.
