I wasn't expecting much from this flick but I was surprised at how entertaining it turned out to be. This is one of the very few modern horror movies that can be effective with little violence and no gore. The acting... Full review

It has a good cast....some unintentional hilarity at the hands of Mr. Caruso (who is actually quite good for the first three-quarters), and a rather weak ending (just another in the long line of post- Sixth Sense twist endings) fall what could have been a true horror classic.....has perhaps one of the greatest settings of any horror picture..... ...

Audiences expecting a more-of-the-same type of horror story may not latch onto or have the patience for the quietly rattling pleasures of "Session 9.
