Review of Session 9 (2001) by Simone S — 12 Aug 2011
"Session 9" is a movie that goes beyond the physical and dives deep into the psychological. If you are a fan of horror movies that do not offer the conventional gore and mayhem, but penetrate you to the very core by examining the horror hidden within the human psyche, then you'll watch this again and again.
Everything about this movie is uniquely disturbing. Hats off to director Brad Anderson for his terrific use of lighting, sound, and subtlety that just really gets under the skin and stays. The huge abandoned hospital in Massachusetts is so creepy just in itself, and the set design effectively creates mood and negative atmosphere.
The uneven blend of sound effects induce such fear and tension. The blips in the tape recordings, distorted voices, chirps, drips, and creaks all contribute to a sense of discomfort and paranoia. This is psychological horror at is very finest! I recommend this to anyone who enjoys an intelligent, mind-bending, truly disturbing movie with an interesting look at human nature and evil.
