In addition to all the other deadly inanimate objects we've had in the past (a bed, a car tyre, tomatoes, a mangle, a carousel unicorn, to name just a few), we now have a deadly sofa. Well, no, we don't actually, 'cos the piece of furniture causing all the chaos in Killer Sofa is a reclining chair. Didn't anyone notice when they made the film?
The homicidal upholstered seat is delivered to the home of dancer Francesca (Piimio Mei), who is unaware that it is possessed by an evil spirit that feeds on the souls of the living. With a plot as patently daft as that, one might imagine this film to be a whole load of daft over-the-top fun, but sadly it is nowhere near as crazy as it should have been. Occasionally, the film teeters on the brink of brilliance, but writer/director Bernie Rao never takes the leap of faith, unwilling to go full-on bonkers with his ridiculous premise.
While never boring, one can't help but be disappointed by the film's relatively reserved approach to something so utterly stupid.
