An asbestos abatement crew wins the bid for an abandoned insane asylum. What should be a straightforward, if rather rushed, job, is complicated by the personal histories of the crew. In particular, Hank is dating Phil's old girlfriend, and Gordon's new baby seems to be unnerving him more than should be expected. Things get more complicated as would-be lawyer Mike plays the tapes from a former patient with multiple personalities, including the mysterious Simon who does not appear until Session 9, and as Hank disappears after finding some old coins.
Leave your thoughts about Session 9.
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternHorror fans and those who just plain enjoy a well-told story should thank the cinematic gods. Session 9 is not only the scariest movie of the year, but also perhaps the most easy to believe since the first "Blair Witch." |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasAnderson, his superb ensemble cast and inspired cinematographer Uta Briesewitz, appeal at once to the intellect and the emotions as they build suspense and tension mercilessly. |
| L.A. WeeklyPaul MalcolmA deft exercise in atmospheric horror and insanity. Which is why it's unfortunate that, ultimately, Anderson steps back from the brink. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.A brilliant, morbid peek in to human psychology. |
| TradesAlex KeenThis is the kind of film responsible for making adults cry. |
| Ain't It Cool Movie ReviewsMoriartyA rewarding experience with some flaws, but it stands head and shoulders above most of what we see in the genre. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenA scary tale that's more about the demons within than the devils without. |
| Reel Times: Reflections on CinemaMark PfeifferSession 9 is heavy on mood and light on narrative substance, but the pervasive sense of dread that it sustains trumps the slightness of plot. |
| Filmcritic.comNorm SchragerA real summer winner, with a lot more punch than that Blair Witch craziness from two summers ago. |
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumJoBloDefinitely not a film for everyone but a must-see for anyone looking to throw themselves into the psyche of the disturbed (count me in!). |
