dr-cheyno After reading the review of one Mals13 who was up voted as the "most helpful" review of this title, i thought i would give it a watch.Mals13 stated that he worked in a video shop and that when people asked him to recommend a good horror movie he would point them in the direction of Session 9. First off, this is NOT a horror movie. It is a psychological thriller with a very minute horror element.He was right about one thing in that the actors all done a good job and that the characters portrayed your every day people not your usual fake, Hollywood trash you see in horror films.Mals states that it is the creepiest horror film he has i seen in years. I say Mals must not be much of a horror fan at all. He even states that the twists are a bit anti-climatic. Then proceeds to rate it 10/10 .. come again?It's a good watch, but not a horror film or a great film imo. It's all been done a thousand times before. Nether the less it is a decent movie worthy of your time if you're into psychological thrillers.But please do not call this a horror movie. Apart from a slightly scary setting of an old asylum (If you'd even call it scary) there is nothing that will leave you scared about this film.

Mike Okun One of my favorite movies by far, Session 9 takes it's viewers on a journey into sick minds. It's subtle, and beautiful. This is not a movie you watch, but more of a movie you experience. If you are expecting to see your typical blood and gore horror flick, you'll be disappointed. Session 9 is real, it's creepy, it gets deep under your skin and stays with you. Add to that the fact that this gem was filmed in the notorious and long abandoned Danvers State Hospital... makes your skin crawl. Read up on the history of Danvers before watching the movie... it'll make it that much better.

Aurey Harris Terrible acting, terrible story, terrible audio. Apparently the $50 budget of this movie went to renting a few hours to film it in a nice old building. There is a difference between mystery plot and missing plot. It was as if this was written by high school drop outs. There were no redeeming aspects of this movie and writing a review going over why every element was a failure would be a waste of time. An example of just how low grade this movie is that they couldn't even have their actual actors scream in flashbacks, they were filled with stock screams downloaded from online...

Dino Malnar Biggest key of movie is that the crew were cleaning asbestos (dangerous substance what can affect hallucinations and serious illness) hospital and probably Gordon ( a person slipping into insanity) was infected (we can see his ill leg in the van) and started freak out more and more every day. Also we can compare Gordon with Mary. Probably he has same personal disorder and same alters like her, that is why he digging eyes to his victims (Mary's second alter "Billy" believe that he lives in the eyes, we can see note of Mike's tape analysis that this alter is very protective to Mary"s first alter "Princess"). Gordons second alter tries to protect him when Phile started doubt in the Gordon's behaving (Phile mention to Mike that Gordon hit his own wife and that he can be dangerous for their job). Gordon was mourning for what he did to his wife (his first alter miss the family just like the Mary's "Princess"). Mary's third alter "Simon" killed the Peter on the Chrismas ("22 years ago") when Peter frightened her and she felt on her new doll and injured herself. In my opinion, Gordon's wife tried to move away dangerous Gordon from their newborn child, he tried to come back but his wife didn't want it,so he killed her. Maybe he somehow accidentally killed his child (we can see Gordon in Mary's room, watching photos on the wall and crying for his child just like Mary cried for a doll). Simon lives in "week and wounded" just like injured Mary and hurt feeling Gordon. Silver coins may present protection from evil like from vampires or evil alters.
