Session 9 Ratings & Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
The story doesn't quite pay off, characters are underwritten and the surprise ending is contrived and unconvincing.
Contra Costa Times
Mary F. Pols
If they gave Oscars for best use of location, director Brad Anderson would be golden.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
The climactic revelation is a real disappointment, humdrum rather than chilling.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
A spine-tingler.
Slate
David Edelstein
The final illuminations ... are a poor return on nearly two hours of ear-buckling, eye-stabbing incoherence.
E! Online
E! Staff
Is it a ghost? Is it one of the men? We're not telling, but the manipulative and unconvincing script and cable-TV acting sure scared us.
Screen It!
Jim Judy
Offers enough creepy moments to keep those who favor such material satisfied, at least until things begin to unravel at the end.
Variety
Robert Koehler
Although aimed at restoring the psychological horror movie to full life after years of dormancy, Session 9 is little more than an overworked exercise in jostling red herrings, and not particularly fresh herrings at that.
CinemaSense.Com
Cornell & Petricelli
A new generation of film creators delivers true, old style horror by exploring the nature of insanity, brutality, and ultimately murder, mayhem, and guilt.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
The film isn't remotely scary.
Associated Press
David Germain
Yet another lesson to Hollywood that a fright film need not be awash in blood and elaborate special effects.
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
As the violence escalates, the store of ominousness shrinks and gives way to silliness, leaving some talented actors high and dry.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
So effective that its sense of uncertainty lingers long after the theater lights have gone up.
New York Times
Dave Kehr
Often feels long and aimless.
Observer
Rex Reed
Despite the talent involved and the unbearable atmosphere of the asylum, the script is a letdown. The final resolution is more ludicrous than convincing.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
A marvel of vérité nightmare atmosphere.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
The film never creates any true suspense, and the bloody climax feels forced and phony.
Village Voice
Amy Taubin
The script for Session 9 is so underwritten that even such lively character actors as David Caruso, Peter Mullan, and Brendan Sexton III are left stranded.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Claustrophobic and terrifying.
