Session 9 Plot Summary
What happens in Session 9 from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 14 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Kirkbride Mental Health Hospital, established in 1871, is undergoing a transformation into a town hall after being closed for nearly fifteen years since 1985. The first to initiate renovations is the Hazmat Elimination Company, led by Gordon Fleming (played by Peter Mullan) and his associate Phil (played by David Caruso). The movie opens with a lightly humorous guided tour of the asylum, conducted by Bill Griggs (a cameo appearance by Paul Guilfoyle), offering both Gordon and Phil their inaugural glimpse into the foreboding building. While engrossed in the eerie surroundings, particularly a haunting hallway, Gordon is startled by a disembodied voice, only to be snapped back to reality by Phil’s interruption.
