The Devil's Chair (2006)
Nomination Year: 2010
SYNOPSIS: An Aussie guy gets it on with his girlfriend in an abandoned insane asylum
while on LSD. An ancient electric chair eats her.
He has trouble remembering the event clearly, and is convicted for her
murder. Flash-forward years later. A group of
psychological researchers spring him from his own mental institution to take
him back to the abandoned one. He's
understandably skittish. As people get eaten by the chair one by one, the
leader of the experiment, Dr. Willard, reveals
that an occultist used the chair to feed a demon and open a door between
worlds; the victims of the chair are really transported there.
Then it looks like one of the research assistants is helping the demon.
Then it looks like WILLARD is helping the demon.
But no, the real bad guy turns out to be the hero. It was all a
hallucination -- he went apeshit and murdered the whole team,
then drove away with his invisible, dead original girlfriend.
