Plot: Brad Anderson's SESSION 9 is a thrilling psychological horror film that uses a haunting backdrop to weave a tale of deep terror. Called in to remove asbestos from the imposing, soon-to-be-renovated Danvers State Mental Hospital, the employees of the Hazmat Elimination Company are unprepared for what they're about to step into. The workers--Gordon (Peter Mullan), the troubled owner who has a wife and baby that he desperately needs to support; Phil (David Caruso), a crew chief who mourns his lost girlfriend by smoking marijuana; Hank (Josh Lucas), the cocky gambler who stole Phil's woman; Mike (Stephen Gevedon), a privileged law student who is fascinated with the hospital's history; and Jeff (Brendan Sexton III), Gordon's naïve nephew--begin to unravel and give in to their own inner fears as the hospital wreaks havoc on their fragile mental states. As the week wears on, the disappearance of Hank brings the tension to a boil, resulting in a shocking series of events that only add to the creepy hospital's legend. With SESSION 9, Anderson proves that he is an immensely talented director who has the ability to work in a variety of genres and keep his deeply personal vision

An intelligent low-budget film. Has some creepy scenes. A bit slow, but kept my interest. Check this movie out if you're looking for something different. 7/10--FrighT MasteR (UHM)
In fact, everything in the film is meant to advance the plot while twisting the atmosphere, from little set details like the meathooks in the kitchen to a subplot about old coins that reaches a horrifying climax. 82/100--Jack Witzig (ColdSpot)
Again, there is no gore and no real special effects in this film - which is all the more reason to see it. A fantastic movie, but not a perfect one, "Session 9" is a fine example of a new breed of horror movie hitting screens in the 21st century.-- (eSplatter.com)

The camera work is good but the music and camera angles lack something that would give this movie some suspense. Its more of a long movie, with some good dialogue but nothing special happening.  --Mr Disgusting (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
