Nick West took his girlfriend to a disused assylum and they both dropped some acid. His date Julie sits on an old abandoned chair and her body is mutilated and dragged into a mysterious black hole. After Nick explains his story to the police he is placed in an asslyum. After four years a brilliant psychartrist takes care of him and takes him and four of his students back to the murder scene.
As Nick arrives back at the assylum he begins having a flashback. The psycharitrist wants to find the truth behind the murder. This film is as gruesome as saw. It has lots and lots of twists. The doctor seems to have other motives for taking them all back there, he wants to summon the monster to our world but it needs sacrifices. This is the real reason we are led to believe for them all being there. The chair is a wooden contraption with handcuffs and drills that go through the juggler vien, it takes you to another dimenson, where a monster chases them.
Andrew Howard who plays the insane Nick West delivers his lines brilliantly, and really makes you belive the charecter is insane. He calls the doctor Gandalf, a lot of his lines are insane thoughts that you hear.
By the end of the film just has you think you may have figured it out, you will still be pondering. If you don’t like gore type horror films this probably won’t be for you. As an horror film it is very good and surpisingly its a British one. It has more twists than Spaghetti Junction. A film I would reccomend to friends, maybe not to my mum though.

DVD Description
Nick and his girlfriend Sammy's innocent, LSD-tinged trip to an abandoned sanitarium takes a turn for the worse when Sammy takes a seat in a strange chair and Nick witnesses her jarring mutilation before she's dragged into the shadows by terrifying, mysterious creatures. The drug-addled Nick's story only lands him in a mental institution for nearly five years until, finally, a renowned professor and his students take the supposedly unstable criminal back to the old sanitarium in an attempt to uncover the truth. But not everything is as it seems in this grisly, ghoulish opus very much in the literate-horror tradition of HELLRAISER. THE DEVIL'S CHAIR comes from Adam Mason and Simon Boyles, makers of the celebrated BROKEN.
