Movie of the Week (7/6/09): Session 9

Poster Art for Brad Anderson's ghost story/psychological thriller/underrated opus

Brad Anderson's genuinely scary film about strange happenings in an abandoned, asbestos-filled psychiatric ward is an obscure, shot on DV horror film starring David Caruso and Josh Lucas (amongst others) and is worth a watch. Jaded horror fans will be pleasantly surprised by the unforced scares and creepiness prevalent throughout, although gorehounds will be disappointed. My favorite aspects of the whole thing are the story itself and how the asylum is used as an actual character as opposed to just spooky backdrop. I highly recommend this.
