The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This is one of my all time favorite horror movies, I love the atmosphere and the slow burn...Problem is, its not for everyone. The movie does what I love - gives the viewer some credit. Everything isn't just spelled out in capital letters, but when you start to realize what is going on it becomes a truly creepy experience! Must see, IMO!

This is a very scary and suspense filled psychotic movie. It is very simple with its atmosphere and effectiveness. The building is the real star of the movie along with the amazing lighting and cinematography. The story is very effective for the purpose. The ending feels a tiny bit flaccid but that is the most minor of complaints from an otherwise genuinely gripping and powerfully scary movie. This is a dread filled mental horror bringing the viewer into the scary with very real feeling fear.

There are two kinds of horror movies.One, the ones that need to rely on gore to get a reaction from an audience. The other, the kind that requires a brain in order to process the fear-inducing story. I think the one that requires a brain is the best kind because there is no limit to what the mind can make you feel, and when done right, the second kind of movie will take you to heights of horror and suspense that the first kind of movie can only aspire to.This movie, Session 9, falls in the category of the second kind and that is apparent by the number of people who have chosen to rate it based on their limited taste for just gore, with no substance.So, in closing I won't go into what happens in the movie, because that is the fun, but will simply say that if you are looking for a chop-'em- up, blood squirting in your face slasher flick, this isn't it. If you are looking for a suspenseful little flick that builds the creep and fear factor, enjoy.If you are a connoisseur of FEELING a movie, you will hopefully be back to rate it accordingly.

Biggest key of movie is that the crew were cleaning asbestos (dangerous substance what can affect hallucinations and serious illness) hospital and probably Gordon ( a person slipping into insanity) was infected (we can see his ill leg in the van) and started freak out more and more every day. Also we can compare Gordon with Mary. Probably he has same personal disorder and same alters like her, that is why he digging eyes to his victims (Mary's second alter "Billy" believe that he lives in the eyes, we can see note of Mike's tape analysis that this alter is very protective to Mary"s first alter "Princess"). Gordons second alter tries to protect him when Phile started doubt in the Gordon's behaving (Phile mention to Mike that Gordon hit his own wife and that he can be dangerous for their job). Gordon was mourning for what he did to his wife (his first alter miss the family just like the Mary's "Princess"). Mary's third alter "Simon" killed the Peter on the Chrismas ("22 years ago") when Peter frightened her and she felt on her new doll and injured herself. In my opinion, Gordon's wife tried to move away dangerous Gordon from their newborn child, he tried to come back but his wife didn't want it,so he killed her. Maybe he somehow accidentally killed his child (we can see Gordon in Mary's room, watching photos on the wall and crying for his child just like Mary cried for a doll). Simon lives in "week and wounded" just like injured Mary and hurt feeling Gordon. Silver coins may present protection from evil like from vampires or evil alters.
