A claustrophobic psychological horror that blurs the line between supernatural curse and mental unraveling through the lens of a haunted object.

After Reese brings home an antique chair, a series of horrific events follow, leading him to question if it's a malevolent spirit the chair possesses or the darkness inside his own mind.
