Chad Ferrin"s The Chair (2015) has Roddy Piper, Zach Galligan and Bill Oberst Jr., enough said. Okay, seriously, this film is a crime horror thriller that sounds a little too tried and done too many times. Maybe the cast can really make the difference here. The plot is about a corrupted Warden (Oberst Jr.) who kills his death row prisoners and one innocent man has to survive this corrupted official. Also starring in The Chair are Naomi Grossman and Noah Hathaway.
