I wasn't expecting much from this due to the bad IMDb rating. I only watched it because of Cary Elwes. Unlike a lot of the films in recent years where Cary Elwes is given top billing on the poster to then only have a 10 second cameo, Psych 9 was different because he was one of the main characters and although he isn't always on screen, he is in it from beginning to end and his character is important to the story (although it may not seem that way until the end). So if you are a Cary Elwes fan like me, then your in luck because he has a lot of screen time; and he's very good. The lead actress is pretty good but struggles to carry the movie on her own being the lead actress. Thankfully Cary Elwes and Michael Biehn are there in strong supporting roles to carry the weight of the movie that she can't handle. The story is quite good, keeps you interested throughout. There are a few cheap jump scares which threaten to detract from your enjoyment of the movie, but apart from that there are some well executed creepy moments scattered throughout. The main problem with the movie is it's final act. It piles on twist after twist, and is messy and very problematic, however, it is still fun to watch and you don't feel you have wasted 90 minutes of your life after seeing it. It's just a silly ending really, but not too bad. So if you're looking for a decent straight-to-video horror movie, then check out Psych 9 if you've nothing better to watch. Its fun while it lasts, won't stick with you, but also won't ruin you're life.
... View MoreI thought this movie was actually pretty good. I watch a LOT of so called scary movies and NONE of them ever scare me in the slightest, and most of them are stupid to boot. However at least this ne had me guessing and then reguessing and then 2nd guessing that! I was pretty close but still it had a few twists then got twisted back to my original thought but in an interesting and different way that still made it very good. It does not deserve 4 stars! I think this is at minimum a good 7+. It was creepy at times but not annoyingly so where it makes the main character look stupid, all the actors did a great job and gave you just the right amount of clues without making it too predictable and still kept you on the edge of your seat. It's not the best movie in world but does deserve a higher rating and is definitely worth seeing so I gave it 10 stars to help it out a lil, a real vote would be Ike a 7-8 tho. Watch it if you like movies that get you involved then you'll enjoy this!
... View MoreI am not sure why so many said they found this movie confusing and convoluted. I did not find it that way at all. I thought it was quite interesting, and I liked how the story like kept changing my mind on who I thought the killer was. I like to be kept guessing. I especially liked the location. I really like films set in abandoned hospitals. Specifically mental hospitals. Super creepy.I was quite impressed with this film,especially after reading the other comments. I do recommend this film to horror fans who like psychological twists and turns. And the acting is quite good. An especially good turn by Gabriel Mann.
... View MoreNeither the director nor writer has any idea what they are doing in this dismal,draggy, soporific endless mess. Every cliché in horror filmdom is given a shot: empty creepy hospital, all night job, scratchy video security monitors, "it was all a dream," the psychiatrist friend " isn't really there," the focus character was sexually abused, bilious toxic green light, confusions,time leaps, comically awful dialog. This is the worst film I've seen in decades. What did they spend five million dollars on? Elwes and Bein walk through their parts. The film was so obviously made in Eastern Europe that I was taking bets with my wife, Czech or the Ukraine? Avoid this film!
