“I live in the weak and the wounded...doc.” It’s a bit nerve-wracking to rewatch a film for the first time since creating your Letterboxd account and putting it in your top 4. Will it live up to that honor? Was it really that good or was it nostalgia? Was I high the…
Tony the TerrorJun 10, 2013You stick with this job too long, it'll mess you up man. It gets inside of you - the stress. This is probably one of the strangest horror films I've ever seen. It's cheap looking but superbly acted and directed. It's got a cheesy setup but turns into something…

c h r i sAug 18, 2022David Caruso’s acting is like asbestos. People thought it was good back then until everyone realized that long exposure to it could cause a number of life-threatening illnesses. That’s why he stopped acting in 2012.
CinemaVoid 🏴☠️Oct 20, 2012Location. Location. Location. The true star of this film is the asylum it takes place in. It's almost a character and this is achieved without cgi or any other effects. It is the place. The majestic exterior and the run down and creepy interior. What Brad Anderson does…

- Damien likedSession 9
It’s slow. Very slow. I don’t get it being on peoples most frightening movie list unless the ending really hits you hard. Few if any scares throughout. That being said I really enjoyed it. Very good cast and plot. Ending was rough. Suspected things. Not what you expect totally. 👍
yassiemaybe likedSession 9patience is rewarded with this one. the atmosphere was great and the movie never fell into the “mentally ill people are violent” trope
Maziswix likedSession 9It’s not bad. It’s not great. And it didn’t feel “horror”? It was confusing. I disliked almost every character in some way. The shots were confusing sometimes and didn’t help the narrative, I think. Overall, a confusing story with a good twist. But not rememberable.
- BugToad likedSession 9
Low-budget for sure, but I've seen much worse. Not as scary as I would have hoped, but it had some disturbing moments. Mostly, I just wish they had done a bit more with the asylum setting. Feels like there was a lot of missed potential that could have made it great.
mossy_cryptid likedSession 9This was such a fun watch. It’d been years since I’d seen it, so it was like watching for the first time. Loved the haunted elements, and im such a sucker for movies set in historic buildings/asylums so it was perfect for me :)
Daisy Paintin likedSession 9Really good movie, if a little confusing. Not sure why people think it is slow, as i thought it was actually at quite a good pace, and everything in the movie had a meaning later down the storyline.
- Ieva dislikedSession 9
Very slow and confusing. Had so many questions but so little answers. Was scary at some moments, but overall nothing so special. Need to pay very good attention to understand the story
Garrett Rupe lovedSession 9Filmed inside a real abandoned hospital, gives that creepy vibe! Sometimes you should just ignore those voices inside your head
𝘽𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙮 is "meh" onSession 9kinda what you expect from this type of movie. All the characters got on my last nerves, I would not watch again. 5/10

Metacritic
The film, too artfully conceived to deliver many overt shocks, often feels long and aimless.

The New York Times
Little more than an overworked exercise in jostling red herrings, and not particularly fresh herrings at that.

Variety
You couldn't ask for a better setting for a horror movie. What you could ask for is a better script.
