Interesting and pretty brutal experiment on the viewer.

The main character of "The Devil's Chair" is a drug-dealer Nick West.He takes his girlfriend named Sammy to an abandoned asylum,when they discover the devil's chair which is the gate to the dimension of blood and despair.Sammy is brutally assaulted and killed by an unseen force,Nick becomes a suspect and is taken to the psychiatric ward.After four years he is released and joins Dr.Willard and his three companions to confront his demons where the supposed murders occurred."The Devil's Chair" is clearly influenced by Clive Barker's horror classic "Hellraiser".Like "Broken" the film is well-made and extremely unnerving.The way some sequences are shot will make your skin crawl.Some scenes are truly bloody and violent as all hell.The main demon of flies which smells blood looks impressive and very Lovecraftian.I can easily say that Adam Mason and Simon Boyes are the new masters of gruesome British horror.9 out of 10.
