Review of Session 9

Session 9 (2001)
10/10
Truly Disturbing, a horror masterpiece
19 February 2004
I came across "Session 9" on cable late one night. I had no idea what it was, but it quickly drew me in. This movie masterfully maintains an incredible amount of suspense with the barest minimum of action (and almost no gore or onscreen violence). It will truly send chills down your spine.

Some have compared this film to the "Blair Witch Project." But about the only thing they share is a low budget and the fact that they're both horror films. A more apt comparison is to Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" (which was clearly a strong influence on the filmmakers who did "Session 9"). If you liked "The Shining," you'll probably like "Session 9." If "The Shining" left you scratching your head, this is probably not the film for you.

I should add that this movie is selling for only about $10 on DVD. I HIGHLY recommend it. It's definitely a "must see" for horror fans.

I also recommend watching it late at night. Alone.
