Sometimes an intriguing project floats by my eyes while cruising the net or speeding through the twitter-zone. The next thing I know I’m doing hours of research on it and trying to learn all I can about it. This was SO true with THE CHAIR. A movie currently seeking funds on Kickstarter. THE CHAIR was conceptualized, by Peter Simeti, as a dark, twisted, and horrific graphic novel.

The film is going to feature a great cast including some genre and non-genre favorites, (I’m excited to see Brian Thompson (Nightwish x-files) back in a good genre role. Check out the full cast at the bottom of this post.

If there is one project to plop down some bucks on it’s THE CHAIR! Help get this amazing project going.

Crappy World Films and Alterna Comics present THE CHAIR – a gruesome psychological horror film set on death row. Currently on Kickstarter, THE CHAIR features a fan favorite cast and crew from films and television shows like Nightmare on Elm Street, Gremlins, The NeverEnding Story, The Dark Knight, American Horror Story, Justice League Unlimited, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer – just to name a few.

Richard Sullivan (played by Brian Thompson) is an innocent man struggling to escape execution on death row. Witnessing the torture and murder of his fellow inmates at the hands of the prison’s sadistic and psychotic Warden (played by Bill Oberst Jr.), Sullivan decides that the only way to survive is to fight back. But as he matches the savagery and brutality occurring in the prison, Sullivan is forced to come face to face with his own sanity.

Many themes are explored in the film, including troubled familial relationships, child abuse, mental health care, and capital punishment. A battle of nature vs. nurture, THE CHAIR is a thought-provoking film without monsters, zombies, or vampires – a film that shows the capacity for good and evil that exists within all of us.
