Dumb sensationalism that trusts blood-buckets dumped on thesps are enough to raise a fright.

Angry young working class Nick West (Andrew Howard) narrates this hideous story for us in an engaging and self-referential manner that, surprisingly enough, adds to the entertainment value

...I preferred this movie back when it was called Session 9.

With only two horror flicks under his belt, Adam Mason's already a director to keep an eye on.

Rated: 3.5/5

Good concept but ultimately felt like the ending was disappointing in resembling the film Session 9. The initial concept of a device putting someone into a different dimension from immense pain was so much better. Still, it's effective, weirdly funny, and straight up messed up

No jump scares. Hardly any scares really. Entertaining. The climax is properly disturbing. More of a who-done-it, with a satisfactory ending.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

It was bad to begin with, then they added the horrible narration and start. An unsophisticated Shutter Island cum Session 9.

that ending though! my thoughts and opinions of this film were totally changed -- and i mean just COMPLETELY changed within a fraction of a second. what a hidden gem; i'm so surprised the audience reviews didn't rate this higher. i guess i've seen enough horror flicks that i really appreciate these kind of films versus the same-old-same-old that somehow gets so popular. if you're into psychological horror, i'd recommend this one. it's got a pretty cool monster, too, if that's what you like.

This movie would get 5 stars if it weren't for Gant's horrendous acting.
