Killer Sofa

For a movie about a sofa it's pretty gosh darn entertaining. It's got a not horrible plot. A actually clever way to portray a killer sofa. And it keeps you engaged I expected far worse. Pleasently surprised and memorable.

This film was a hilarious watch. It's not so much a sofa at all, but a recliner. The acting and dialogue is atrocious. The characters don't have much uniqueness, except one "Inspector Gravy" because of his name. The sofa is the best character.

The plot is rubbish, but the best bits come in when the sofa goes about killing people. In an especially brilliant scene the sofa stalks its victim back to his Mum's house, somehow manages to reach the second floor window...from the street, and murder him. The design of the sofa is also brilliant, with his little beady eyes and tiny mouth; every time the sofa stares another victim down I could not help laughing.

3/10: A technically dreadful film, that is an absolute blast with friends.

And I'm not talking spirits here (although that too of course), but the fact this is not really something I would call a Sofa. Killer it is for sure. And it also takes itself quite seriously! Jed Brophy of Braindead and Peter Jackson fame in general has one role in this, but it is the ... chair of death that really is the star.

Also the quite constructed story with evil spirits and flashbacks and all that. I have to admit, I thought this was going to be just a popcorn movie, which it really isn't. And I don't particularly mean that as a bad thing, just letting you know. If you are looking for completely silly, maybe check the Killer Donuts (I did that too) ...

This is what a borat horror film would be if boratcwas a lazy boy. The only thing misleading about this movie is it's a lazy boy not a sofa . It's a no frills no special effects comedy horror with mainly comedy. Its low budget and does everything it can to be stupid and it's one if those it's so bad its great!! I laughed multiple times, would gave been a 9 but the ending was weak. Will watch again when I need a good laugh.

The human performers in this ridiculous horror-comedy are barely OK, but the recliner is actually a pretty good actor. I mean, sure, it's miscast as a sofa, but damned if it doesn't give the challenging role its all. I see great things in its future; maybe it could play an airline seat, or with some heavy prosthetics, even a throne.
