Movie Reviews of Session 9
Movie Review: Asbestos From Hell
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're looking for a blood-spattered hack fest, you will be sorely disappointed. However, if you want to see one smart, scary, chilling, freaky film that literally relies on the very last line of the movie to blow you over, this is it. There's a strong 'Shining' influence here, but it's no rip-off. Everything here is right--from the performances to digital photography, the locations to the script. The mental hospital, much like the Overlook Hotel, is one of the biggest stars here; And while you have to wait for the major carnage to ensue, it's worth it; And it actually means something. Remember when movies actually took time to build into something? This one does. Or at least to me. The last line still sends shivers down my spine everytime I watch...Movie Review: Perfect for Halloween!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very very good movie!!! It's creepy and entertaining throughout. It's a mystery, thriller, and a horror movie all rolled into one. The story revolves around a 5 member cleaning crew (headed by David Caruso and Peter Mullan) who are hired to work at an abandoned insane asylum by the new owners of the property. Tensions build as the men are forced to face an enemy that is all around them creating a feeling of strong paranoia. The asylum is like a living entity all of its own adding to the already horrific circumstances. The place just keeps getting creepier and creepier.
I highly recommend this movie to anyone who is looking for a change in the horror genre. It is well acted and cleverly written. This was a very pleasant surprise!!!
Movie Review: Session 9 is CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY!
Summary: 5 Stars
I think the plot starts out slow, but it explains plot, and some history about some of the characters. Paying attention to all aspects and dialogue in this movie is imperative, but aside from the (GREAT but) wacky setting they have a pretty good story running parallel with it. The story describes the life of one of the mental hospital patients (the mental hospital is abandoned, but there are still records and REEL-To-REEL recordings that our characters find... when snooping around), who has Schizophrenia and the very rare Multiple Personality Disorder. Well you should see it for yourself; I thought it was truly original!
If you get the DVD, there's some interesting parts about the building that the movie was shot within.
Movie Review: A movie you wont forget.
Summary: 5 Stars
An abandoned asylum is great as a stage for a scary move. The only thing I have against this movie is that the creepy asylum isn't used more. There are some tunnel scenes that made me hide behind the couch, but not much more. Still, the whole dark atmosphere of the movie is great. The characters are not your standard guys labeled Bad or Good, but just a bunch of normal people. This fact alone makes this move special from most other [bad] "scary" movies.
You also need to do some thinking to appreciate this one, it wont tell you everything straight out. I guess people who enjoys the common hack n slash horror flicks wont enjoy this one much. There are actually no monsters or ghosts here, just humans, which shows to be scary enough....
Movie Review: Excellent psychological thriller
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie ranks among my top five favorite suspense/thriller movies of all time (along with The Shining, Jacob's Ladder, Sixth Sense, and ... I can't remember the fifth but you get the idea). If you enjoy psychological thrillers, the ones that really get inside your head, this movie is for you. It seems to be a relatively low-budget film, given that I never saw it promoted at all, but that just makes it even more amazing that it's so well-acted and directed. It draws you in and gradually builds the horror until you're on the edge of your seat. I couldn't sleep for a week thinking I was going to hear that voice talking to me. Highly recommended for thriller buffs who are more keen on psychological terror than on gore.
