The Chair
The Chair ★★ Hot Seat 1987 (R)
The penitentiary where an evil superintendent was fried in his own electric chair during an inmate uprising is reopened after two decades. The new warden (Benedict), who used to be a subordinate to the dead man, believes in rigid control of the inmates and locks horns with the big-house shrink (Coco), who on the surface is an intelligent humanitarian, but may have a darker side. This acrimonious dispute takes a back seat, when it appears that the spirit of the late warden has come back to make the inmates pay for his untimely death. 90m/C VHS . James Coco, Paul Benedict, Stephen Geoffreys, Trini Alvarado, Gary McCleery, Paul Calderon; D: Waldemar Korzenioswsky; C: Steven J. Ross.
