DVD Reviews of Session 9
DVD Review: haunting
Summary: 4 Stars
Okay, I loved this movie. But am I the only one who noticed how none of them were very careful when they were cleaning the place up? I mean they take their masks off, wipe their face with their gloves, and have complete disregard for safety. That bothered me a little. Otherwise this is a very good movie, and worth watching. It provides an unsettling atmosphere that stayed with me for hours afterward and it still creeps me out just thinking about it. This is the way horror movies should be, instead of a movie with no plot and a serial killer brutally murdering people and leaving nothing to the imagination, they need to take some pointers from this movie. Session 9 is downright disturbing and I wouldn't want to watch it alone. If you choose to watch it, be prepared for a movie that will force its way into the back of your mind and haunt you :) DVD Review: Finally! A truly creepy movie.
Summary: 5 Stars
Ill leave it to the other fine reviewers to give you the plot summary & technical info as to why this is such a great film.
And they are all correct...
I found this movie by accident late in 2008 never having heard of it before.
I admit that I didnt know what the heck was going on during the greater part of it. The movie tends to go off in enough different directions that I found myself wondering, who is the bad guy here? Why is this 'thing' happening? What was that scene all about? Um...Huh!?
And even at the end, when I learned, 'Who Dunnit', I didnt know why exactly. I was still confused but I was extremely creeped out by the movie. It did what I like movies to do. It made me think for days afterward.
I was thinking so much about it that I finally watched it again & then still went to Wikipedia & read an interview with Caruso & Anderson before I finally "got it!"
If I have any complaints its with the youngest actor ( the nephew ) in the movie as he seemed a bit amaturish. I believe I could have played the part just as well & Im alot amaturish! But this is after all a low budget movie...
Overall, this was a very interesting & fun film to watch from the opening scene with the 'chair' to the credits.
If youre sick of the flesh eating zombies & the teenage slasher flicks & want to see a truly creepy, well made psychological thriller then you need to see 'Session 9'.
DVD Review: First Class Horror ........ of The Mind
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, I took me at least three hours to fall asleep after watching this movie; because I kept hearing noises outside my window and door.
If the Danvers State Insane Asylum were still in existence today, I would love to have taken a tour through the entire complex (wherever safe) with a few friends, two flashlights each, a cell phone and walkie-talkies. Especially in the subtunnels. What a creepy place.
I especially enjoyed this film because it wasn't the sudden "slasher around the corner" type. Which is why the pacing worked perfectly. The characters were great, as was the acting. The "run through the tunnel" while the lights were dying out in sequence, was especially horrifying. Marvelous writing and directing.
If I were to be one of those Hazmat workers, it would probably have been the guy who was obsessed with the tape recordings of Mary Hobbes #444. That was spooky listening to those tapes. It kind of reminded me of my son's video game "Bioshock."
DVD Review: Left me speechless, and very creeped out...
Summary: 5 Stars
It's been a long time since I saw a horror movie that made sense, wasn't slasher or torture focused, and really scared me. This movie really did. I won't rehash the plot, it's already been done. I do think that people who think that Simon was an actual demon (like I do), rather than a psychological state, found this movie scarier, but they still liked it. I watched it with a friend and we came away with totally diffrent conclusions, but we both loved it. Get it today!DVD Review: I live in the weak and the wounded.....
Summary: 5 Stars
Creepy, well written, wonderfully acted and intense. This is the one thing (book, music, film, etc.) that EVERYONE enjoys when I recommend it. NO ONE has ever said "eh, it was alright"..... I'd smack then if they did! For an antagonist with no tangible screen time and few lines, Simon is extrememly unsettling and frightening. LOVE this movie.
Description of Session 9
Five men from an elimination company enter an abandoned insane asylum and face their inner fears as well as the evil that resides in the hospital. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 09/02/2003 Starring: David Caruso Josh Lucas Run time: 97 minutes Rating: R Director: Brad AndersonFew things are more sure-fire creepy than huge abandoned buildings, and Session 9 has one of the eeriest buildings you've ever seen. A hazardous-materials-cleanup company has been hired to eliminate asbestos tiles and other toxic material from a gigantic mental hospital that had been shut down in the 1980s. But as one member of the team starts to nose into old files in the office, he uncovers a series of tape recordings of psychiatric sessions--nine of them--related to a notorious sexual abuse case. Soon, toxic materials and dark spirits start to merge. Like The Blair Witch Project (and most horror movies, really), Session 9 is longer on atmosphere and dream logic than story--but the atmosphere is effectively unsettling. A strong cast (including Peter Mullan, David Caruso, and Brendan Sexton III) do an effective job of slowly cracking under stress and evil influences. --Bret Fetzer
