Have noticed quite a lot of people complaining that this movie did not get enough publicity, so just curious to know how people were initially introduced to it. Seems to be a Cult film in that you only know about it if someone has recommended it to you or if you did your research online.
I just noticed it on some random's top 10 horror list on Amazon and thought the DVD cover looked creepy. Anyone else?
I watched YellowBrickRoad, went to that messageboard on here, and saw people raving about Session 9.
shareIt was mentioned in a book Fangoria put out entitled: "101 Best Horror Movies You've Never Seen".
The movie is a little raw, some of the directing is rough but it's a good creeper movie.

I watched Welcome To The Dollhouse for the first time in YEARS, wanted to see what the character Brandon looked like now and if he had any newer movies, saw "Session 9" on his list of movies and it looked interesting so I watched it.

There is this brazilian website about horror movies called boca do inferno (Hell´s Mouth) that said the movie would be released on DVD in 2003.I made some basic internet research and it seemed intriguing.I waited until the scheduled release date and nothing happened.
So I ordered the american DVD.
I didn´t watch a better horror movie since then...
I grew up in Danvers and worked down the bottom of the hill (more modern state mental health facility that is still open) when they were filming it so saw some production signage and it stuck to keep an eye out for it.
Weird factoid is they also did open casting calls for extras for the movie The Crucible in the main Kirkbride building.

Stumbled across it when browsing through Peter Mullan's IMDb page. It sounded interesting.
shareI was home with my daughter back in 2002. She was taking her afternoon nap so I decided to sit down, have a snack, and catch a movie. I noticed Session 9 because David Caruso was in it, but I had never heard of the film before. It really was the best thing on so I decided to watch it on Starz. Unfortunately I had missed about the 40 minutes of it. But what I did see I really liked. So, it was coming on again that night at nine. So I made a reminder and caught the full film that night which happened to be a big mistake. It kind of creeped me out the first time I saw it so I had a hard time sleeping. But you are right because most people that I had mentioned it to had never heard of it. But once they saw it they either loved it or hated it. I loved it.
shareThe best way possible. In college I worked at a video store, and got off late one night. I was in the mood for a horror movie, and decided to give this a try out of the dark.
I hadn't heard a thing about it, and had really no expectations. This along with the original "Black Christmas" were two totally random rentals that blew my mind.
"Carlos the dwarf?"
"Yeah, you got a problem with that, Gorthon?"
It was on the new release shelf at Family Video.
"This isn't TV, it's real life. Can't you tell the difference?"
"Sure - I just like TV better."
