Did you know that breathing asbestos can cause serious health complications? For instance, much like a pearl in an oyster, a small particle of asbestos embeds itself in your lungs; it can fester and grow, becoming wrapped in tissue. And thirty years from now, you’ll die from drowning in your own lung fluids. This public service announcement has been brought to you by Session 9. Asbestos kills! But isn’t that what you would expect when renovating an insane asylum that was originally built in the late 1800’s? Somebody has to die. And probably more than one. So then, who to kill? Enter our hapless workers: Gordy, the foreman; Phil, Mike, and Hank, the laborers; and the foreman’s nephew, Jeff (a.k.a. Mullethead). In a pinch for cash, they agree to have the massive asylum cleaned out in one week. The onscreen count down of days is convenient for the viewer because you know just how much longer they have to live. And to really spice things up, let’s smoke pot, wander in the dark, and become really obsessed with listening to the recordings of the multi-talented, multi-personality Mary Hobbs. Oooh, she’s scary, but I have to ask, how does she do all of those different voices? So, does this psychological horror of neurotic psychosis have the power to keep you confined to your seat without the use of medical restraints? I say yes! Princess disagrees. Billy says yes. Simon says watch it. Watch it! JUST WATCH THE DARN MOVIE! WATCH IT!
