 | Well I thought Session 9 was pretty good; I'd give it 3 1/2 stars if that option were available. Liking movies that are more psychologically scary rather than gory, I'd say there were a few scenes in this movie that were very frightening. Unfortunately there was some gratuitous gore that I felt shifted the mood of the film a bit from atmospheric terror to slasher movie.
I felt the cinematography and sound editing was excellent, and is worth watching for that alone.
I suppose you could say that the effectiveness of a movie can be measured by how long it stays with you after you've finished watching it. I definitely thought about this movie for a while after I had seen it. |

| One of the best movies I've seen in many. The director tries to actually create something never done before (as far as I can tell) and succeeds marvelously. The tension builds from the beginning...and builds and builds and then the climax is kaboom! Satisfying, intelligent. What more could you want from this type of movie? PLUS it has little teasers, nifty little contrasts and not a few red-herrings to keep your mind wondering. Most movies lay it out in dumbed-down focused detail so you couldn't possibly miss the point. Session 9 is art. |

| I dont really give anything 4 1/2 stars but this is way deserving of it. Pure genious. This is one creepy horror movie.
I cant say enough good about this. I just rented this movie and didnt know what i was getting and what i was getting is definitly one of the best truly horrifying,creepy scary movies to ever be made. This movie is what horror is all about no humor just strictly horror. The atmosphere is creepy, the acting is great the plot is great the ending is spectacular with a great twist. The movie never slows down and never bores, basically has you on the edge of your seat.
I havent seen a movie that literally gave me the chills and creeped me out in, I cant say how long the along comes this. I would with no question put this on the list with movies like the "Exorcist" and "The Shining". This is class A and you cant go wrong. When the movie ended I was just basically amazed at what i saw and couldnt believe I saw a horror that was this great. I love horror but alot of these horror films like to throw in humor sometimes good some times boring, but in this movie, there is no humor just horror. I love a good serious horror no jokes at all horror movie and that is exactly what this is.
Dont even bother renting just go buy it, its that good and youWONT BE DISSAPOINTED.
Whats really funny is there are so many movies out there undeserving of the price that they go for 15, 20, 25 $. Yet this film is being sold on amazon for $13 this movie could easily be going for $22 and I would with no question still buy it. Its a movie that will never get boring. I will go to a couple places looking for it tommorow, I juust want to buy it and have it and not wait . If I cant find it I wll order it off amazon. Dont deprive your self of a truly great horror movie. |

| Session 9 is one of the most atmospheric horror films i've ever seen. Having seen every "classic" horror film ever made, I can say that this film is easily as scary as several of those movies. Session 9 has the perfect mixture of modern and traditional horror, and it works better than several horror films that are strictly contemporary (the WAY overated The Ring) or old fasioned (Halloween).
The movie is about 5 guys being hired to clear out the Danvers Mental Hospital, an abandoned hospital that really exists and is considered haunted. The film was shot on location at the asylum. The workers are supposed to work on site for a week, and then recieve a 10,000 dollar bonus for their quick work (and as a reward for not rushing off in a hurry to leave the hospital). On the first day of the excavation, one of the workers discovers a box labeled EVIDENCE. Inside are a set of audio tapes that are audio "interviews" with an old patient at the hospital. There are nine tapes, nine sessions. Throughout the movie, we hear more and more of the tapes, and thus we learn more about the patient, Mary. We learn she is a multi-personality schitzophrenic (she has 4 personalities), and that she is also violent, when the right personality is revealed. Every scene with Mary (or Billy, or Princess, or Simon) is through audio, and they create a forboding atmosphere in themselves. The tapes tie into the rest of the film at the very end, which is violent and unexpected.
