I thought it looked okay for what it is, guess they could have thrown money at it and made it look like Panic Room but that's to do with budget, why cover a trailer in order to smear film you haven't seen, just ignore it?

Is this written by Donald Kaufman?!

Anderson has been doing some great work on Treme too.

Anderson made Session 9, one of the best psychological horror films in recent years.

Despite the fact that he has had few movies recently and has worked primarily in television, everything I've seen from him has been extremely well made. He's also directed eps of excellent shows like The Wire, Rubicon, Treme, Boardwalk empire. And rather than being generic and unremarkable like most TV directing tends to be, I always notice something more when its him behind the camera.

I actually think Anderson's best work was Session 9. He did an excellent job of creating a real sense of dread and creepiness (though assisted by his fantastic location). This doesn't look as bad as the plot description would make you believe. Here's hoping he can deliver some scares.

Man, the film industry is so cruel to women-especially women of color. Halle is a Oscar winner starring in this preposterous B-movie.

I worked as a Post Production Coordinator on this film and I think it would be beneficial to reserve judgement until you see the film. Brad Anderson did a tremendous job, the performances are great, the villain is creepy and interesting, and it is quite a nice little thriller. I would advise people go see the movie in FULL before they post their "opinion".

Enjoy the film, everyone!

I actually think that it looks interesting. it could be a neat little thriller or at least something fun. Sony must have faith in it if they put it against that competition (or maybe they are dumping it there) but it could work, even if it has that straightforward plot.

What i can't understand is the bitterness of this article. jejejej . Dude, the movie is not even out yet and you're making it look like if is the shittiest shit ever. Hoping here that this ends up surprising you.

P.S: I really hope that berry rebounces. She really is talented and charismatic. A shame that her agent is sinking her down.
