The Chair (Kickstarter) ‘More Than Your Average Horror Thriller’

The Chair

THE CHAIR is a new horror/thriller based on the successful comic book mini-series & graphic novel: adapted for screen by Erin Kohut. The film is directed by Chad Ferrin and stars Bill Oberst Jr., Timothy MuskatellNoah HathawayZach GalliganNaomi GrossmanRoddy PiperEzra BuzzingtonDerrick Damions, and Kyle Hester. 

The story revolves around Richard Sullivan (Timothy Muskatell); an innocent man that is sentenced to die. But in this prison, there are fates worse than death as the Warden (Bill Oberst Jr.) and his guards have become thoroughly corrupted with their absolute power.

“THE CHAIR is, at first glance, your average prison horror/thriller.  But just beneath the dark and gritty surface, there’s a story – and a film – about the struggle to survive, the abuse of power, and the isolation and despair that all human beings face in their final hour.”



My first impressions from the trailer – this is like an R-rated version of Green Mile…a modern day Marat/Sade with the comic book sensibilities of Frank Millers ‘Sin City’

“There are no demons or zombies here – the only monster on death row is man“.

THE CHAIR is currently on Kickstarter raising funds for post-production https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/petersimeti/the-chair-post-production-on-our-comic-book-horror

Risks and challengesWe have editors, sound designers/editors, color correctors, and composers on stand-by waiting for us to fill our budget so we can get started. So there’s no risk in us not having that talent ready to create a great film.

The only risk we face, is time – of course. Barring any unforeseen emergencies or catastrophes, we should be able to have a completed film ready to be sent out by Christmas. Now – the only way we’ll have to delay this, is if the distributor that picks up the film decides to fulfill these orders instead. But that is unlikely and if it does happen, our backers (that’s you!) will be the first to know!
