***An iCheckMovies Listed Movie Review***
Tensions rise within an asbestos cleaning crew as they work in an abandoned mental hospital with a horrific past that seems to be coming back.
I've been meaning to watch this film for quite some time, I just can't get past David Caruso.
An abandoned mental asylum cannot be taken down because of it's landmark status. The town is selling the renovation job to the highest bidder, who just happens to be Caruso and friend, Gordon, who promises to have it done in a week. As they get a tour of the facilities, Gordon starts hearing voices nearly immediately setting the stage for what's to come.
They get told the story of Mary and why the facility was closed then while cleaning one of the guys accidentally uncovers some old tapes of Mary's sessions and he inexplicably decides to stay behind and listen. As the cleanup goes on, so does the investigation into her past, with each tape ominously playing in the background.
Slow going in the beginning. Very slow. Things look like they start to pick up roughly half way into the film. But they don't. Things stay slow.
Session 9 is absolutely terrible. I don't see how this film is as popular as it is. Why and how could someone recommend this crap to anyone in good conscience is beyond me. There are some seriously sick people in this world.
Violence? Yes? No? The movie shifted between reality and mind games often.
Explosions? No
Nudity? No
Believe it or not I've actually seen parts of this and it was decent at times. I wanted to finish it but ended up doing something else.
ReplyDeleteThis movie was beyond terrible. I seriously had to force myself to finish it.
ReplyDeleteI'm not proud of what I've done.
