Session 9: Asbestos, Silence, and the Empty Asylum

Mon, 04 Aug 2025 09:00:00 +0000

There is a particular horror in being told to hurry inside a building that wants you to slow down. Session 9, Brad Anderson’s 2001 film, is built almost entirely from that tension. Five men in hazmat suits have a week to strip the asbestos from a vast abandoned mental hospital. They are behind schedule, underbid, over-caffeinated, and the walls around them are lousy with a century of other people’s suffering. Nobody is sure whether the thing pulling the crew apart is the place, the money, or something one of them carried in through the door.
