Sometimes You Should NOT listen to HDCers

[Zero]

OK - here's a thread to reveal BAD HDC advice.


I'll begin with a controversial one in the form of a little story:

My friend and I were in the video store and he wanted to see a 'scary movie' - no stress that's my thing. BUT, he insists that we see a film that neither of us have seen - ok, limits me a bit BUT, i suddenly remembering reading folks (who shall remain nameless) declaring Session 9 as the "scariest film they had ever seen." so we rent it.


Well, I can't begin to describe what an utter disappointment it was. The whole film was a series of "oh, now its going to get good" followed by a gentle sigh of exasperation as the scene suddenly shifted without climax or explanation.

utter and total shite (and you made me watch a film with DAVID CARUSO IN IT! DAVID FREAKING CARUSO!!!!

[stygianwitch]

You're not alone, i HATED this movie, couldn't even sit through to the end..... definitely total shite :(

i sat through the end hoping (based on the ridiculous assumption that my friends here had a FREAKIN CLUE) that there would be an amazing pay off --- but nope.

and caruso seemed to actually get more wooden as the movie went on - bizarre.

i can't even watch a minute of CSI MIAMI - he is SO AWFUL!

I actually thought "Session 9" was quite good.... Untill the ending that is.

It had a very good eerie atmospheare about it, from beginning to end and i was really surprised and impressed by the, to me, infamous actor Peter Mullan.

But the ending...... meh... Disappointing.

Never seen it....Thanks for saving me the trouble

Session 9 is a fantastic film .. and David Caruso was just fine in it ... unless you're hung up with being fashionable (where fashion dictates that its cool to hate David Caruso) - check out Session 9.

it isnt scary - its creepy and atmospheric.

david caruso couldn't act his way out of a paper bag - - - indeed, i think a paper bag would've had more depth of feeling and range of emotion and reaction than caruso in session 9 (and everything else he's been in). . . indeed, casting a brown paper bag and just sitting it in scenes to take the place of david caruso would've made that film infinitely better

and, since when does 'atmospheric' translate into "pointless and disjointed?" nothing happens and the payoff is just plain silly

utter crap
