Today I was bored and decided to look through my Netflix. The summery sounded interesting so I decided to watch it. I ha

I was looking at IMDB for comments on the movie "Sanitarium" and someone commented that a great move taking place at a sanitarium was 'Session 9.'
Sanitarium was not good but then again anything with Lou Diamond Phillips and Malcolm McDowell in it these days should be avoided. So sad as once were both excellent actors.

A bundle of late-night showings on Showtime, way back when they actually aired the cream-of-the-crop of forgotten B-movie horror (and occasional masterpieces like this). Bought it on DVD a few years back and there's always something new detail to find in the film. And that's part of why it's among my all-time favourites.

I actually had heard about Danvers State Mental Hospital before hearing about the movie. I live in California, but we were discussing haunted places and this girl brought up the hospital. About a year or so later, scrolling through Netflix, I decided to watch the movie and then was surprised to see that it was shot at the place that she told me about.
So I came across this movie by accident, but already knew about the real location. -

I saw the last few minutes of the film, when Phil started to loose his mind, and killed everyone one. It was it back on Starz when I was 11 or 12. It absolutley scared the hell out of me. It took me several years to find it again on TV, when I saw it again it was still disturbing.

I used to actively work on a horror community site where we'd discuss movies and this was on lists of movies I found. I never saw it until about three years after I initially heard of it.

I saw a few minor previews several years ago (minor because this film didn't get a strong push upon release since it's a horror film and has a very low budget).
Then over the years various horror podcasts, blogs & such mentioned & discussed it regularly. For post 2000 horror, it's one of the most well-known to genre fans.

I first found it through looking for other films made by the director of "The Machinist", good job I gave it a look too - despite being a bit low-fi it definitely had intrigue and a bit of that 'creep' factor.

I just happened across it in the video store (back when people went to video stores) took a chance and fell in love instantly. I soon after bought it from Columbia House when they were still a thing. Boy 2001 WAS a long time ago.

I saw it at the video store soon after it came out on DVD. The creepy cover kept catching my eye so me and my best friend rented it. It scared me more than any movie has before or since. I love it deeply.

I was a university student in a small town in West Texas and they were showing the film for one week. This may date me, but I drove to the theater and looked at the marquee and saw the poster in the lobby and saw the film and loved it.
My awareness was as old school, non-technological as possible: I saw the poster and bought a ticket and the rest is history.
