Session 9 (2001)
9/10
Brilliant, Eerie, Disturbing Film
22 November 2015
There are so many bad horror films made now by amateurs on similar budgets it would be easy to mistake this for more low rent shlock. In fact, it is a brilliant tour de force in the macabre from the first frame to the last creepy word.

David Caruso is excellent in this as the conscience of the piece (no spoilers) and the other actors are very convincing and natural. You won't know what is really happening until the very end and the director guides the whole picture swiftly to a truly memorable ending.

I hate films with gore in them and love eerie psychological flicks with undertones of the supernatural. The best of them leaves you wondering if any of it was real outside of the protagonists mind. This is a film like that and it sticks with you longer afterwards.

DO IT, GORDON. This movie will raise the hair on the back of your neck, guaranteed. Is it a ghost film? Fortean classic of the macabre? Brilliant psychological horror? All three at the same time and a little more.
