‘The Chair’ – Watch the Creepy Horror Short Film That’s Terrifying the Internet This Week
We’re always paying attention to what’s trending here in the horror world, and this week we’ve seen more than a handful of mentions of The Chair, an award-winning short horror film.
Directed by Curry Barker, horror short The Chair is now available to watch over on YouTube (embed below), and now that we’ve seen it we’re not at all surprised that it’s making waves.
But what’s it about, you ask? In The Chair, “After Reese (Anthony Pavone) brings home an antique chair, a series of horrific events follow, leading him to question if it’s a malevolent spirit the chair possesses or the darkness inside his own mind.”
The 24-minute horror short is a total psychological mind fuck, with the mysterious chair altering everyone who steps foot inside Reese’s home. Full of jarring shifts into nightmare territory, The Chair effectively serves as a metaphor for the mind-altering force of a disease like Alzheimer’s, with a chilling twist ending that’s sure to be a conversation-starter.
“This was the scariest, most unsettling horror movie I’ve ever seen,” one person comments on YouTube. Another adds, “This was the most relentlessly terrifying short I’ve ever seen.”
The Chair currently has over 700,000 views on YouTube. Watch the horror short below.
Recent box office hits including Parker Finn’s Smile and David F. Sandberg’s Lights Out began as shorts, and we can’t help but wonder if The Chair will be up on the big screen soon.
The Chair – directed by Curry Barker – was nominated for BEST FILM at Los Angeles Short Film Fest and was also a SEMI-FINALIST at Burbank International Film Festival.
The shorts producers include Adlih Torres, Anthony Pavone, and Curry Barker.
Take your seats. The show is about to begin. Warner Bros. brings us some new marketing for M. Night Shyamalan’s Trap this morning, including a new poster and an original song.
Saleka Shyamalan stars in the upcoming thriller as fictional pop star Lady Raven, and today brings us a first-listen preview of the song “Release” by Saleka as Lady Raven.
Give it a listen right here and find the new official poster for Trap down below.
M. Night Shyamalan’s new thriller for Warner Bros. – the sixteenth movie in his Oscar-nominated career thus far – is headed to movie theaters nationwide on August 9, 2024.
In the upcoming thriller starring Josh Hartnett, “A father and teen daughter attend a pop concert, where they realize they’re at the center of a dark and sinister event.”
As the official trailer for Trap reveals, the pop concert is actually an elaborate trap designed to catch The Butcher, a sadistic serial killer who has been evading authorities.
Hartnett had recently described the mysterious film as “very bizarre” and “very dark.”
According to IMDb, the cast for Trap also includes Hayley Mills, Marnie McPhail, Vanessa Smythe, Saleka Shyamalan, Scott Ian MacDougall, Kristi Woods, and Cali Lorella.
Trap is the first film Shyamalan has made under his new deal with Warner Bros., which has been described as a “multi-year first-look directing and producing agreement.”
