“If there’s a ten-thousand yen chair and a one-million yen chair, which one would you sit on?”

From acclaimed Japanese director Kenichi Ugana (Saskatoon Fantastic Alumni – VISITORS – THE COMPLETE EDITION & THE GESUIDOUZ) comes INCOMPLETE CHAIRS, a disturbingly gory and darkly satirical descent into obsession, artistry, and madness. Blurring the line between high art and horror, Ugana crafts a film that dissects the human cost of perfection, exploring how ambition and ego can twist creativity into something monstrous.

INCOMPLETE CHAIRS follows Shinsuke Kujo, a reclusive and obsessive furniture designer whose quest to create the “perfect chair” becomes a fixation that devours his sanity. Convinced that true beauty can only emerge from human imperfection, Kujo begins luring unsuspecting victims to his apartment under the guise of a job offer. Once inside, they become unwilling contributors to his gruesome masterpiece—each body part meticulously harvested and reimagined as part of his evolving creation.

As Kujo’s delusions deepen, the film spirals into a macabre reflection on the nature of inspiration, the ethics of creation, and the corrosive power of envy. INCOMPLETE CHAIRS delivers equal parts horror and biting social commentary, exposing a world where artistic genius and depravity become indistinguishable—and where the price of perfection is measured in flesh.
