Spine chilling score for a phenomenal horror movie!

You may never have heard of the movie Session 9, released in 2001. I had seen the soundtrack pop up a few times in queries on Amazon as I rummaged for cheap soundtracks and kept noting that it consistently had a 5 star rating. Sometimes I pick up a score without having seen a film, because at the end of the day it is about the music. So I ordered Session 9, received it in the mail, popped it in and my eyebrows raised in bewilderment. HUH? I thought to myself. 5 stars? What? I don't get it at all. This is just noise. So I figured, I better check this film out to understand what all the hoopla was over the soundtrack.

From the moment I began the film, I understood and saw the light. This score is a truly unique gem that is designed to perfectly melt into the celluloid of the story it tells. More of sound design than music, it weaves itself in and out of the moving image to add a layer of depth that I have never come across before in a movie. A door creaks open and the sounds of the score trail away with the creak and take us into a new part of the story. Single piano strokes, LP record hiss, electronic whirs, boings, heartbeats, long drones and low frequency rumbling with boings all mix together to bring a uniquely terrifying combination of sound and image.

The film itself is a great indie haunted house tale that has a great script and terrific no name actors. I firmly believe that without this score the movie would not have been as terrifying and disturbing as it is.

Session 9 is one of the scariest movies I have ever seen and probably right up there with The Excorcist. Both films have a viscerally realistic feel to them moreso than the new wave of "reality" style movies that exist. This is a story about a group of people that are touched by something dark and evil and the music evokes that horror.

After I saw this film, the score took on new meaning standing on its own. It is terror. It is the darkness. It is the evil. It is also something nice to listen to as ambience if you are looking for something to put you on edge on a dark lonely night.
