Movie Reviews of Session 9
Movie Review: Effective and creepy
Summary: 5 Stars
I read one of the other reviews on this site, specifically the one that feels Session 9 sets back any realistic and modern view of the mentally disturbed. I have to disagree with it completely. Never at any time did I find myself left with the impression that "THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU!! FEAR THE MENTALLY DISTURBED!!!" What I did get was, that sometimes, the bottom falls out of your life and how far you fall is the true depth of horror.Mood and setting in this film are simply excellent. I've seen comparisons to Blair Witch, but honestly BW had 5 good minutes of footage and a lot of unneeded dialouge. Session 9 does not. It is a slowly crafted masterpiece that evolves over the course of the film and takes you to some pretty dark places. Honestly, I can't recommend this movie highly enough if you like your horror of the suspense variety and don't need buckets of gore to creep you out.
Movie Review: Excellent movie about a real hospital with history
Summary: 5 Stars
I was very impressed with this movie. Especially when I went through the special features. What I found out was totally amazing. That this hospital was a real hospital with history of lobotomy and being haunted as well. Being very much into the paranormal in my life, it was very interesting to me to hear about the actors "experiences" in the making of this movie. Also, the records that are shown in the movie were also there. They never did take the records out and destroy them when the hosptial closed. It was told it was like the hospital just shut down and didn't take anything with them that was there. This movie became more real and scarey to me after I watched the special features. See the movie, and see for yourself. It is a "very different" movie in how it was made. I highly recommend this movie to anyone that likes thriller movies with lots of twists.Movie Review: Scared me sh*tless
Summary: 5 Stars
I love horror movies. I really do. I have gotten to the point where horror movies don't really scare me, as much as they do intrigue me. Session 9 did something most horror movies can't do to me: IT FREAKIN SCARED ME!!! It is one of the best done pyschological thrillers in a long time, and David Carusso's infamous "f*ck yoooooou" in the movie is one of the most chilling yet at the same time hilarious things I have ever heard. The movie really tricks you with the ending and suprises you. *KINDA SPOILER ALERT* It even made me question my own sanity, how one can think they are so sane but reality have demons of their own.
If you love horror movies with twists and are sick of overproduced movies like the Ring and the Grudge, see this movie. You won't regret it, even though you probably won't be able to sleep
Movie Review: Session 9 Destined for Cult Classic Status
Summary: 5 Stars
The uber creepy "Session 9" concerns itself with an asbestos abatement crew working in an abandoned psychiatric hospital. Simple enough premise, but the hospital is none other than the Danvers State Mental Hospital, an all too real and terrifying location for even a puppet show, much less an atmospheric psychological horror/thriller. Disturbing and moody, the location supplements credible perfomances from the films stars David Caruso, Stephen Geveson, Josh Lucas, Brendan Sexton III. But Peter Mullan's work as crew leader Gordy is worth the price of the disc alone. Relying on story and cinematography, Brad Anderson weaves an always interesting tale about madness and the complex inner-workings of damaged minds with compelling and gleeful terror. Disc includes commentary, deleted scenes and an alternate ending.Movie Review: my husband had to take me for a drive
Summary: 5 Stars
after i saw this movie, i couldn't sleep the whole night and finally, at 6:00 a.m., my husband rounded me and the dog up and took me for a drive to help me get my thoughts in order. or to calm me down, one of the two."fear is a place" is the catch phrase on the movie poster. even though the acting is superb, the script is tight, i really wish i had just not watched. all night long i kept looking back over my shoulder, as if a piece of the film manifested into my reality and stalked behind me, waiting to jump out from the shadows and grab me. ever wondered what the boogie man really is? the boogie man is...
*stunning
*harrowing
*jaw dropping
*horrific
*terrifying
*lives inside the weak and the wounded
the boogie man... is "session 9".
watch it at your own risk.
