I just wanted to recommend to everyone in the forum a movie I had a chance to catch last Friday night called "Session 9". It stars David Curuso (of "NYPD Blue" fame) as a member of a asbestos removal team hired to do a job at an abandoned insane asylum.
This is not a hack and slash special (a la "Scream" and its antecedents) nor a special effects extravaganza (a la the miserable new version of "The Haunting"). Rather, it's a good old fashion horror movie that relies on character development, setting, and the horror of what is hinted at than what is actually seen.
Filmed in HD-video (same as Star Wars Ep. II) it uses the dreary setting of the real-life Danver's Asylum outside Boston, MA (an actual abandoned asylum closed due to the Regan budget cuts in the 1980's) for some of the creepiest scenes I ever seen commited to film.
Highly recommened.
