Session 9 Ratings & Reviews

    I consider this to be one of the best psychological horrors ever made. It's a slow-burn horror/thriller. There isn't a single wasted scene, and not a single wasted moment. The asylum is perfect for atmosphere. The characters are acted well, with one line delivery in particular being one of the most heartbreaking things put on screen. Session 9 is one of the best underrated, hidden gems you could ever hope to find. If this is going to be your first time watching, I envy your experience. I've seen it dozens and dozens of times and I still find things that I didn't notice before. 10/10.. You won't regret watching this if you have patience and a brain.

    Not a bad effort, but the plot meanders with no clear direction and the ending sputtered out. Lots of cool visuals none of which really contribute to the story. David Caruso plays his usual jerkish self (typecast?).

    The lead actress in this movie, Paulina Porizkova, is fairly decent in this role. Having never seen her in anything else, I wasn't sure what to expect. She has her moments of overacting, but the main problem was some of the dialogue she was given. Larry Drake was scary enough as the killer and is considerably larger than I remember him being. Judd Nelson was really the standout for me in this movie. While not his finest work, he was believable enough in this role and seemed to be the only character that didn't make the typical horror movie asinine decisions. There is no real blood and gore in this movie, so it'll suffice for anyone who doesn't mind a little bad dialogue and plot holes, but wants to see a mildly scary film.

    One of my faves just because of the location. A decent movie, but I love to see Danvers as it was.
