Bonus features are currently being worked on, and although they haven't been revealed yet, we'll be sure to keep Daily Dead readers posted on any updates regarding this anticipated release. Below, we have Scream Factory's official announcement and a look at the Blu-ray cover art:

From Scream Factory: "Our “Summer of Fear” line-up continues to grow with the announce of SESSION 9! Directed by Brad Anderson (The Machinist) this underrated 2001 chiller will be coming to Blu-ray for the first time on August 16th.

Grand, imposing... abandoned and deteriorating, the Danvers State Mental Hospital, closed down for 15 years is about to receive 5 new visitors. Donning protective gear, the men of the Hazmat Elimination Co. venture into the eerily vast and vacant asylum that is filled with an evil and mysterious past. Rampant patient abuse, medieval medical procedure and rumors of demonic possession are some of the many dark secrets the hospital holds - but then so do each of the men.

This "deliciously disturbing" (Us Weekly) thriller features a talented cast including David Caruso (CSI: Miami), Peter Mullan (War Horse, Trainspotting), Paul Guilfoyle (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation), Josh Lucas (American Psycho), Stephen Gevedon (Show Me a Hero) and Brendan Sexton III (The Killing, Boys Don't Cry).

Extras are in progress and will be announced sometime later on in the early Summer time period. Pre-order now @ https://www.shoutfactory.com/film/film-horror/session-9"
