10 Creepy Horror Movies Set In A Hospital

Was there ever any question that this atmospheric, psychological masterpiece would top this hospital-centric list?

Session 9 introduces us to an asbestos cleaning crew dispatched to clear up an abandoned asylum. As time goes on, the crew begins to fracture as they uncover the building's dark past. Are there ghosts at work? Or is it something much more human?

Session 9 is just... a masterful exercise in psychological games and the complexities of the human mind. The movie asks us in so many subtle - and not so subtle - sequences, just how much can one person take before they break.

Whether you choose to look at this haunting piece of cinema as the standard haunted building fodder, or see as something deeper, what cannot be denied is the overall eeriness of the entire picture. Location filming in an actual abandoned asylum lends so much here and makes us feel much more a part of the events.

After all, we all fear vast, dark spaces where anything could lurk, don't we?

Upon its conclusion, Session 9 remains with the viewer. Be it the terrifying visuals, the haunting voices on those long forgotten tapes, or the movie's pointing out of just how fragile the human psyche is. There is a fear and discomfort to this hospital-set horror that cuts deep.
