Killer Sofa will release on DVD and Digital from High Octane Pictures on October 1st. To be clear, director Bernardo Rao did not give us a bad film, just one that felt like a bait-and-switch. The story would still seem a bit too convoluted, but perhaps easier to digest. There are some genuinely chilling moments, entertaining kills/attacks, and solid acting. With that being said, had those assumptions not been in place beforehand, it would have been easier to see it under a different light. It also takes itself too seriously overall for the premise. While certainly not advocating for a story to be predictable, what we end up with feels like a completely different film by the end. Of course, it is always better to go into a film clear of expectations, however that can be difficult when the title and art is consistently zany. In fact, Killer Sofa goes in a completely unexpected, and oddly complex, direction that takes the focus off the chair itself. There are some creepy and amusing moments as we see the button eyes get reflective and animated, or the recliner even make sexual advances (no, seriously), but anyone going into the film expecting an over-the-top chair beast may be sadly disappointed. The key art featuring a blood-stained, snarling recliner is a tad misleading, as the actual chair is way more subtle.

While one would expect a horror movie titled Killer Sofa to be as ludicrous as the films referenced above, it takes a quite unexpected approach. In our initial trailer announcement, we described the New Zealand film’s premise as “exactly what it sounds likes,” however that’s not quite the case. Written and directed by Bernardo Rao, the film stars Jed Brophy, Sarah Munn, Stacy King, and Harley Neville.
Now, the sub-genre is making room for its next entry, Killer Sofa (although, to be fair, it is more of a recliner). The horror genre is no stranger to killer inanimate objects, as we have seen a snowman, dolls, cars, and even a tire all slash their way through films.
