Session 9! This is barely worth a rental and then only if you absolutely must watch a movie that resembles the SH games. Beware of any SH fans who insist that Session 9 is by far the greatest movie they've ever seen - they're basically wrong. ($10 says they think SH2 is the best game in the series, too.)
It's a sort of interesting story, I guess. The acting's not bad. The mental hospital is undeniably creepy. But similar to my reaction to SH2 and it's opening fifteen minutes of you running through a foggy forest, I had a tough time getting excited during the 99% of the movie that consists of panning around decrepit environments with the director practically screaming to the audience in the background "SEE HOW GLOOMY EVERYTHING LOOKS? DRIPPING WATER! I SURE HOPE YOUR HEART RATE IS INCREASING! BECAUSE IT'S PSYCHOLOGICAL! LOOK AT THAT PEELING PAINT!" and in the meantime absolutely nothing of interest is happening. The ending was pretty disturbing, I guess. I'm glad I sat through well over an hour of pure tedium for that almost average payoff!
Cool ambient sounds and a nice Lou Barlow song during the credits don't really make up for the lack of action. |
