It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This movie was creepy and had all the right plot points and steady character revelations. Asylum movies generally revolve around the same kind of plot points but this movie was unique.

Watched this movie last night and was very disappointed. I kept waiting for something good to happen. My thoughts are if nothing happens during the first 5 minutes then the movie is a dud, and was I ever right. I have read that some on here loved the movie and thought it was great. Everyone is different so I'm placing my thoughts here also.

Terrible acting, terrible story, terrible audio. Apparently the $50 budget of this movie went to renting a few hours to film it in a nice old building. There is a difference between mystery plot and missing plot. It was as if this was written by high school drop outs. There were no redeeming aspects of this movie and writing a review going over why every element was a failure would be a waste of time. An example of just how low grade this movie is that they couldn't even have their actual actors scream in flashbacks, they were filled with stock screams downloaded from online...

Every time I completely lose faith in the horror genre I go and look up an old classic that I've missed along the way and watch it to revitalise my love of the genre. I had heard a lot of good things about 'Session 9' for a while now, and also being a fan of David Caruso, thought I'd better check it out. I'm certainly glad I did. It was a little different to what I expected. I had expected supernatural and a lot of it filmed at nighttime. I was surprised to find no supernatural element and 95% of the film taking place during the day - albeit often in dark underground tunnels.I loved the mystery element of it all. The film is obviously called 'Session 9' and quite early on we are introduced to a tape titled 'Session 1' and shown that there are tapes right up to 9. Straight away this has us in a state of needing to know what's on that final tape that was worth naming the film after. Secondly, everything's clearly not as it seems with these characters. Things are happening off screen that could very easily have been used for gory horror on screen, heavily implying that we aren't supposed to know exactly what is going on yet. All this leads to a fun experience for the viewer.The film is undoubtedly very tense throughout, and especially in the final 30 minutes as we draw towards the conclusion. The building they used to film it in was an exceptional choice. It was eerie, creepy and really sold the product perfectly. The acting was pretty good by horror movie standards. Caruso was his usual brilliant self, and the others held their own well enough. Altogether it's a very fine horror movie that I'm disappointed it took me so long to get around to seeing.
