The Chair

A horror/supernatural film set on Halloween evening that unfolds through the night, following a young Indian couple in a live-in relationship who move into a new 1BHK apartment with a chair they bring along. A decision that slowly becomes a nightmare. As unsettling events unfold around the chair, the film goes beyond fear to examine Indian patriarchy within everyday intimacy: gender roles, male entitlement, and the quiet normalization of imbalance, even in relationships that exist outside tradition. Small moments like a man sleeping while his partner cooks after a long day reveal how deep conditioning runs, regardless of how progressive the setup appears. The chair becomes a symbol of the relationship itself, something that strengthens or breaks depending on whether the man can confront his own mindset. As the supernatural force grows, it begins to challenge this imbalance, pushing toward what feels like justice, or something far more unsettling. On the surface, "The Chair" is a horror film. Underneath, it is a meditation on power and control within intimacy. It ends with a poetic sense of justice, leaving us wondering: was the true horror ever really supernatural, or was it already living inside the home?
