If Session 9 can teach anything to up and coming horror film makers, its this; If you want to make a believable and creepy movie, use good actors! Session 9 is a great psychological horror!
A brooding,intense piece of work..the abandoned old mental hospital gives the Overlook Hotel a run for its money,that's for sure...the few things that might not have snapped together logistically still didn't detract from the inexorable psycho-spiritual nightmare in this movie,IM...( read more)
Phil: We'll take the tunnels. They're safer.
Jeff: "Safer"?
A simply plotted psychological thriller that makes good use of its setting, focuses on subtle scares, and succeeds as a well shot film.

Pretty freaky and chilling, and even moreso if you know the full details of the hospital in Danvers. Great performances all around and the music is almost nightmarish.
idea originale (sì, è preso da un cortometraggio ma sul grande schermo non si era mai visto) e una storia che scorre liscia.. forse un po' troppo "umanizzati" gli alieni, però non rovina di certo il film. Bellissimo se piace il genere (e non parlo di fantascienza)
Session 9 is a fascinating, sometimes scary micro-budgeted film which has a bunch of interesting, well rounded characters, an abiding sense of atmosphere and great locations all working for it. The history of the institute is extremely well plotted, the session tapes thems...( read more)
I get the plot and the premise, but it wasn't creepy or freaky in any way to me. Plus, this movie was really slow and it didn't even feel like it really went anywhere.
It gets a star and 1/2 because abandoned mental hospitals are really intriguing to me.
Having patience with the beginning pays off in the end. A masterfully subtle horror film.
This has jumpy parts but thats about it! Its a bit like House on Haunting Hill and every other horror based in a mental hospital. This film has be done before and much better!
The final illuminations ... are a poor return on nearly two hours of ear-buckling, eye-stabbing incoherence. full review
The movie was made at Danvers State Insane Asylum in Danver's Massachusetts what used to be Salem Villiage.
A good movie, but not as good as I had hoped. Beyond the main characters there is an underlying storyline, sort of a basis for why all the horrible things happen near the end & that part of the story jumped around a lot & that sucked.
Yo i haven't seen it yet cuz I dont remember watching it come out in theaters or what ever but I gotta check it out cuz I looove horror movies and this one looks mad ill!
(hope so)
No one has heard of this movie a friend of mine found it in a dvd bargain bin its really scary and tense the whole way through. Its not your run of the mill thriller or horror movie I recommend this to everyone. I think it was filmed in Canada at an abandoned insane asylum.
