Session 9 Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
The story doesn't quite pay off, characters are underwritten and the surprise ending is contrived and unconvincing.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
A spine-tingler.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
The film isn't remotely scary.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
So effective that its sense of uncertainty lingers long after the theater lights have gone up.
New York Times
Dave Kehr
Often feels long and aimless.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
A marvel of vérité nightmare atmosphere.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Claustrophobic and terrifying.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
A great setting in search of a decent horror film to fill it.
Slate
David Edelstein
The final illuminations ... are a poor return on nearly two hours of ear-buckling, eye-stabbing incoherence.
Variety
Robert Koehler
Although aimed at restoring the psychological horror movie to full life after years of dormancy, Session 9 is little more than an overworked exercise in jostling red herrings, and not particularly fresh herrings at that.
Associated Press
David Germain
Yet another lesson to Hollywood that a fright film need not be awash in blood and elaborate special effects.
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
As the violence escalates, the store of ominousness shrinks and gives way to silliness, leaving some talented actors high and dry.
Mr. Showbiz
Michael Atkinson
May not quite be more than the sum of its creepy parts, but as a reality-is-fear launch into workaday darkness, it clearly points toward the horror genre's best destiny.
Observer
Rex Reed
Despite the talent involved and the unbearable atmosphere of the asylum, the script is a letdown. The final resolution is more ludicrous than convincing.
Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
The film never creates any true suspense, and the bloody climax feels forced and phony.
Village Voice
Amy Taubin
The script for Session 9 is so underwritten that even such lively character actors as David Caruso, Peter Mullan, and Brendan Sexton III are left stranded.
Contra Costa Times
Mary F. Pols
If they gave Oscars for best use of location, director Brad Anderson would be golden.
Flipside Movie Emporium
Jeremiah Kipp
Alienating rooms and corridors have not been made so memorably sinister since Stanley Kubrick's Overlook Hotel in The Shining or Nicolas Roeg's labyrinthine Venice in Don't Look Now.
SPLICEDWire
Rob Blackwelder
After all the understated yet carefully constructed shivers, there's just no payoff.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Anderson treats his material right, using the immense building to brilliant advantage -- giving us little scares and quickly snatching away their explanations, never giving anything completely away until the movie's end.
