It was listed on Boston.com's top 50 horror movies and said it was filmed in Danvers, so I watched in on on demand.

I remember seeing the cover when I was younger and my family rented it without even reading the back. My mom has a thing for the Caruso anyways, so
Scared the beep out of me when I was 11.

I asked members of a forum I belong to to recommend me some movies that don't contain excessive animal violence because I can't stand that stuff. S9 was in a list someone gave me. Turns out there actually is animal killing in this - brief audio only, so it didn't bother me too much.

Was browsing horror movies on Netflix to watch for Halloween weekend and came across it. Great horror film, it's really nice to find one that doesn't rely on cheap startle-scares, but rather conveys a sense of dread through the scenery and atmosphere.

There was a joke in an episode of South Park pre-2001 about David Caruso's career. Curious, I looked him up just to see what HAD happened to Caruso and found this. Always nice to find a hidden gem in horror filmdom.

I'd seen it mentioned on imdb boards of other horror movies.
It was frequently mentioned as a "genuinely" frightening horror movie, compared to other recent gore/FX fests.
Unfortunately, it's a huge disappointment. I don't understand what people see in it. Full of genre cliches and tiresome drama, but no real scares. -

The promo picture was shown in "Gmod Idiot Box" (a Machinima series) on Youtube. A Combine/fan was trying to get the Gmod Idiot Box creator to make the ninth episode, and was taking him to all these movies with 9 in the title ("House of 9", "District 9", "9", etc.). I'll check out House of 9 sometime, too lol

I read that Silent Hill (one of my fave video game series of all time) was inspired in part by this. (think the creepy wheelchair scene)
I caught Jacob's Ladder couple of years ago, never managed to see this till recently, and I was not disappointed. -

(before I discovered the internet mind you)
After coming out of the theatre having watched something else (cant even recall now) I saw the poster on the outside of the building and was so taken by the cover art that I just had to go back and see it (even though I considered David Caruso to be along the same lines as Dean Cain or Eric Roberts at the time). I went back and saw it 08/16/2000 (5 days after its official release). I still have both copies of my ticket stub!

I used to go up to Danvers State all the time with friends exploring the building, taking photos, etc. I didn't know about the movie when it first came out as I didn't start going to DSH until a year or two later.
It's a sin the place is gone, but we still have the movie to help cope with the loss I guess. (I love the movie, I don't understand the hate some people have for it, it does feel like something is missing, but it's not bad at all generally speaking, guess people have different likes and dislikes) -

It was just sitting there on the dvd shelf at the store. I had never heard of it, but the picture of the single chair on the cover was interesting. got it to share with some friends since we had just returned from a trip to see the Glore Psychiatric Museum (at that time in the original Hospital) which is featured in Ripley's for featuring displays of the history of the treatment of mental patients-from the good to the most horrific! We were allowed to wander through the entire building and grounds-and we each experienced strange feelings in different areas. Watching this film after that-when the final lines are said-the room was completely quiet! The Glore Museum is still there-highly recommended-it's free or donations accepted. The hospital still stands but is now a prison! how appropriate.

I was looking through dvds at FYE and when I saw the title I initially thought of some other movie with a creepy child. Then I read the back of the DVD and it looked intruiging so i gave it a chance. I hated it at first but I just watched it again and really enjoyed it.
