Killer Sofa (2019)

Frederico Olsen performs a voodoo ritual in front of a recliner, while Warren Lee cuts off his legs. A short time later his dismembered foot is found, and police inspectors Bob Gravy and Roseanne Grape, interview Francesca, his ex-girlfriend, and her friend, Maxi. Meanwhile the cursed recliner is accidentally sent to Maxi's grandfather, Jack, a disgraced Rabbi. He touches it, and experiences a psychic vision about its past. He believes the chair is possessed by a Dybbuk, a kind of evil spirit. Eventually the recliner ends up outside Francesca's apartment, and with the help of her boyfriend TJ she brings it inside.

Jack does research on Dybbuks, watching Youtube videos by a psychic called Tohunga Makutu. Francesca has a strange dream about the chair, and in the morning discovers a breakfast made by the chair; she assumes TJ is responsible, although he is confused. Gravy and Grape discover a large number of objects related to voodoo at Frederico's apartment, and bring Francesca in for another interview. TJ is then stabbed in the leg by the recliner, although he survives. He plans to recover at his mom's house, a few houses down the street, but during the night is attacked by the recliner again, this time fatally.

The police now believes there is a serial killer targeting Francesca's ex-boyfriends. Their prime suspect is Ralph, Maxi's cousin. However he breaks into Francesca's apartment, to install cameras and is killed by the recliner while masturbating with her bra and hat on her bed. Jack has discovered more about the history of the chair, and warns Maxi about it, although she ignores it and returns to Francesca's apartment. She sees the chair disposing Ralph's body, and a mini chase occurs, with she being forced to jump from the window, landing unconscious in a dumpster.

Francesca and the two police officers go back to her apartment to look for Maxi, and they discover Ralph's corpse. The recliner calls Francesca "Valerie". This causes her to flee. She contemplates suicide at the edge of a cliff, then Jack calls her and she returns to the city. It's revealed that in the 1800s a pair of witches named Valerie and Gerard Collette lived in Akaroa, and poisoned many people to steal their souls. When the town discovered this they formed a mob. They burnt Gerard alive, but Valerie killed herself, transferring her spirit into a nearby woman, Francesca's great grandmother. That spirit has passed through the generations, and lives on in Francesca, as does Gerard's in the recliner.

Jack plans to build two dybbuk boxes to contain the spirits, then burn them. He suffers a heart attack however, and Francesca decides to confront the recliner without him. She does it with gasoline, but before she can burn it, the police arrive and reveal that Frederico's body was inside it the entire time, and that's what Gerard's soul had attached to. They believe that by shooting the chair they've dispelled the spirit.

A short time later Francesca has Gravy head over to her apartment, where she poisons him before transferring Gerard's soul from the recliner into his, as Valerie has completely taken over her body. The two murder Grape, and leave, although Maxi saw what happened.
