“I live in the weak and the wounded…doc.”

Session 9, which is one of my absolutely favorite psychological horror/thrillers, is coming to blu-ray thanks to Scream Factory! The release date is August 16th, 2016.

I bought this movie one day when I was down in the dumps and had a $20 gift card to Best Buy. Easily one of the best purchases I’ve ever made because this movie has haunted me ever since I saw it.

Grand, imposing… abandoned and deteriorating, the Danvers State Mental Hospital, closed down for 15 years is about to receive 5 new visitors. Donning protective gear, the men of the Hazmat Elimination Co. venture into the eerily vast and vacant asylum that is filled with an evil and mysterious past. Rampant patient abuse, medieval medical procedure and rumors of demonic possession are some of the many dark secrets the hospital holds – but then so do each of the men.

Starring David Caruso, Peter Mullan, Josh Lucas, Brendan Sexton III, and Paul Guilfoyle, Session 9 was directed by Brad Anderson (The Machinist).

Pre-orders are already open for the disc.

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones. Instead, they unearth The Gate — an underground chamber of terrifying demonic evil. The teenagers soon understand what evil they’ve released as they are overcome with an assortment of horrific experiences. With fiendish followers invading suburbia, it’s now up to the kids to discover the secret that can lock The Gate forever . . . if it’s not too late.

If you’ve never seen The Gate, it’s now streaming on Prime Video and Tubi.
