Preface:




That said: If you have not seen this movie, go out and rent it *now*. Get out of the house for a few minutes and go. You might meet a girl. Or perhaps a nice bum. You just need to see this movie.

The plot centers around 5 guys that are slated to clean out the asbestos (not even trying the right spelling) of Danver State Asylum. They each have their own issues, of course, and this job only magnifies their problems (they have to have it done in one week, when the min. estimate is three weeks). There's an awesome subplot that ends up tying in to the main plot with some old audio tapes of "Patient #444". Go to Apple and watch the trailer.

Oh. My. God. So. Very. Creepy. There are never any instances of things jumping out of the dark to scare you. There is only about one minute of gore, total. It's scary as hell because the characters get into your head. There is nothing that happens in this movie that couldn't actually happen, and the end leaves you absolutely breathless after an intense ten minute stretch of terrifying images, audio, and realizations that you've come to as you watch the movie.

In fact, it was so good, I forgot to live for a few minutes and had a seizure. First one in six years. Came out of it, waited an hour, and finished the last few minutes. Superb film.

Go watch it now. NOW.

It isn't a horror movie in the sense of horror movies. It isn't "scary". It's just very creepy. Very much a psychological thriller.

I'm not sure if I want to see a movie that gives you seizures

The sooner you realize I'm right the better off you will be.

The other two folks were nothing more than shaken up by the film. Besides, intense scenes that evoke a lot of thought/emotion have what caused my past fits. I blame the demons that came with the dvd.

Don't let my defective brain keep you from this movie.

We'd better keep away. The siezures might be contagious.

I've been pimping Session 9 for like a year now...

excellent movie...the end of the dream sequence is still one of the only things in a movie to ever make me seriously creeped out.

RIP Madaventor: God bless you.

It is rather scary.

MentatMM thinks some people are just too skeerd to try it.

Very good and very upredictable movie. Session 9 certainly isn't your cookie-cutter horror movie. I've always loved those psycho killer movies.

Is this the movie where at one point this creepy voice says: "Do it Gordon"?

Mischief. Mayhem. Soap.
