I think Session 9 is one of the very best examples of utilising psychological horror within a particular setting as opposed to a typical ghost movie with the usual 'jump out of your skin' scenes.

I still haven't seen The Changeling!
Definitely agree with you on Session 9 being one of the better psychological horror movies that excels in pacing and subtly. I also like the minimal use of sound, with just a few scattered piano loops, really helped exacerbate the creepiness of the movie.
