Hey, i think you should re-read the comments titled most missed the point and the response. That should answer your questions...how could you not get the movie, it was brilliant.

Re: Jaded reviewers
I guess I'm the jaded reviewer in question.
I really appreciate all the people who have written about how much they liked "Session 9." I agree to the extent that I think it was good to see a horror movie that was just about people and psychology, not talking dolls and guys with razor blades on their fingers and slashed-up teen girls.
I guess what I didn't like was that ultimately the movie was just about somebody killing people left and right for what seemed to me like no coherent reason. With the setup that the movie had, I really thought the emphasis would be on the strange case from the past, and maybe the crew would figure out some long-buried mystery about the weird sessions on the tapes. They didn't need to have any body count in the present at all. Instead, it seemed to devolve into yet another slasher picture when it could have been a real mind-bender.
And can anybody explain why the killer (trying not to give away who it is) snapped? I mean, I don't think stress is a good enough explanation, and he didn't have any history with the mental hospital as far as I can remember. If somebody has an idea about that, I'd be interested.
