The movie is based around a Psycho guy named Virgil and a girl Called Danielle whom he has gotten hold of and mostly revolves around a basement.I would not go further into the movie as i think you should view it yourselves,anyways to be honest i was really starting to like the movie and did not want it to end but unfortunately it does just when 9days begins to get interesting.This movie is not for everyone,it might upset some audience due to the lack of content,but still i am not saying its not worth giving it a try after all what more can one expect from a low budget thriller/horror movie.Watch this movie if you are that type of person who thinks anything recorded on a camera is worth watching!

I GOT THIS ON E-BAY

Warning: Spoilers
The film is loosely inspired by " Dante's Inferno." Danielle (Maura Murphy) is abused by her foster father. She leaves home and gets picked up by Vigil (Chris Schleicher) a creepy personable psychopath who belongs to a Christian order of one that promotes the idea you must sin in order to be redeemed. Danielle becomes one in a series of victims.
The religious idea was one similarly practiced by an early Christian Gnostic sect. The torture sequences are light as compared to other films, i.e. this is "G" rated compared to the "Saw" series. Most of the film takes place in the basement of Vigil's house. The soundtrack consisted of a light song that appears to be sung in Hebrew. The problem is that the film is somewhat pointless and non-entertaining. It is supposed to be a dark comedy. The humor relies solely on Vigil's lines, which grew tiresome.
Parental Guide: F-bomb. Nudity (Maura Murphy)

Garbage

The saying goes that love means never having to say you are sorry... This is especially true when you are being held in a religious madman's basement with your neck chained to a wooden post.
There is not much nice to be said about this. While some of the props are a bit amusing and there is a general attempt to be funny (which helps defuse how truly awful a movie this is) there is no reason to watch this or recommend it to anyone. I feel worse off for having seen it.
Everything you need to know you will find out in the first five minutes. Terrible sound recording, terrible sets and a woman who is apparently supposed to be a teenage girl whose father (or stepfather, maybe) is a molester... but she is obviously much, much older and it seems like the man should be her boss.

OK.. Only 2 people in house (the girl and the guy) but at 27:17 - 27:19 there is another pair of feet in the frames where he is putting a bag over her head.. The acting is terrible, the head in the fridge, how original is that? She just meets the guy and is eating dinner and staying over at his place. Get real we do have a brain in our heads. This is just one of the worst movies I have viewed in a long time. Acting, what acting, did they have a script or make things up as they went along. Then the black and white bathroom scene, was this a security cam he had set up or ? I think this film was shot with a 8mm camcorder and a very low budget. Don't waste your time.
Awful

Are you f***g Kidding me ? You know very well what you making ? Then why you make this kind of Garbage ? If you have extra money please save it but don't make garbage for us to waste our time and yours. Poor acting and Poor script and poor sound. Viewers please don't waste your time on this garbage seriously. Directors are requested that please stop making this kind of movies. I have seen making low budget movies are awesome one.... You judge in first 5 or 10 minutes that what will be the movie and the story. I usually never watch movies by forwarding but this i was force to do that. 1 hour 22 minutes movie I watch in 22 minutes.

Human captivity thriller played out as comedy
Leofwine_draca5 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
9 DAYS is another torture porn-style thriller about a woman who finds herself abducted by a psycho and subjected to all kinds of indignities. This same kind of story has propelled numerous low rent horror films recently, but bizarrely 9 DAYS seems to play out as a comedy, a genre totally at odds with the subject matter.
Needless to say that it's a piece of garbage film, one that's ugly to look at due to the poor filming style. There's a lot of teasing scenes and a general sense of amateurishness, particularly in the use of an exceptionally annoying song which gets played at full whack repeatedly. What a crock...

Really enjoyable, pretty hot, totally worth it.

I will admit the fake punches, pretty fake. Really fake, But come on, they made this on a KICKSTARTER! The crazy guy was obviously crazy, but the plot works itself out and it all ties back into the beginning. I noted that this movie did not contain any FULL nude scenes, which felt odd because I don't think a movie about a psychopath torturing someone necessarily needs to be kept to a PG-13 rating. The concept of the torture is very interesting because it portrays a real psychopathic mindset, and does not involve any sexual torture or rape, as most opposite gender torture movies probably would. There are some slightly gruesome moments, but hey, its a horror film. Overall I really liked this, it had me hooked after the first 20 minutes, and considering that it was made with the support of a kick-starter, I think it was pretty awesome. I always like revenge horror films.
My Review Of "9 Days"
ASouthernHorrorFan24 July 2013
9 Days comes from writer director Samuel M. Jackson and stars Maura Murphy, Chris Schleicher, Simone Fraund, David Alan Graf and Jennifer Lawrence (don't be quick on that last name it is a very "minor" part). Anyway the story is a modern perverse spin on Dante's Inferno that deals in the world of art-house meets torture-porn. To escape her abusive foster home, headstrong 18-year-old Danielle Hitches a Ride with an affable psycho who calls himself Virgil and has an axe to grind against women based on his warped religious beliefs. She realizes she hasn't quite found her knight in shining armor when she awakens half-naked, chained to a post in Virgil's basement. As Virgil, puts Danielle through a sadistic "moral cleansing" of debauched torture sessions that could kill her at any moment, she must choose either to fight back or to become as inhuman and deranged as Virgil himself. What Virgil doesn't know is that Danielle may be more than up to the challenge of his psychotic head games.
9 Days is a pretty decent film that focuses more on character relations and suspenseful drama. Most of the terror involved comes from the surrealistic yet organic setting of the film and the simple fact that a psycho lures young girls to his home and sets out to torture them into a better way of life. In some serial circles this is probably a great "date-movie". Schleicher's Virgil is a fun demented kind of crazy which makes you like his type of sinister sh*t but I found Murphy's Danielle a bit inconvincible in her role. I had to push the fact that she looked more 28 than 18 from my mind to appreciate the character's story. However I never really believed she ever feared for her life or was anything but mildly aroused by her captor. That being said Murphy did give a straight performance and was able to draw enough of the character out for me to enjoy the movie. It is a dark off-beat portrayal that rides heavy on melodrama with some really raw yet minimal violence. Toward the middle of the film I did find myself drifting off in thought but I came back to the story as it neared day nine. That is when the story gets stimulating once more. There is not much of a high intensity to the film instead riding a steady psychological antagony. I saw this film as more of a story about "how to pick up chicks in Hell" anti- romantic drama as opposed to a tense thrilling story of torture and survival.

Good women's revenge turnaround bottom drawer (kitchen sink = bathtub?) offering
Bofsensai1 January 2017
Warning: Spoilers
For an effort 'crowd funded', this really has to deserve top marks: both direction and acting, latter especially with main new star, Maura Murphy (as kidnapped Danielle), portrayed as a 'suffer* girl, to transcend into a more perfect in God's creation being' by a religious obsessive nut job! (Chris Scheicher as 'Virgil': See quotes sidebar wherein he espouses director / writer (auteur? He edited and produced it, too) Samuel M. JOHNSON's (NOT movie star Jackson!!) excuses cum reasons of its dichotomy all out as.) *i.e presumably / possibly only as edicted / inspired by as St. Paul assessed to reach religious joy - yet which can only / has to be, come by / through - you guessed it - suffering
! Which is uplifting, surely?
By which, without wanting to give away too much of the development of this what at first would seem another of those tawdry women in peril stalked and torture porn offerings, and despite its (helpful?!) salacious come on subtitle: 'Whipped, chained and tortured by a psychopath' (! so, not really a 'comedy'!), do stick with it for, for you anti torture porn, pro feminists, may be surprised at the end (á la - plot spoiler alert here=read no further: 'Spit on your grave'*, 'Hostel 2 / sequel', 'Storm Warning', 'Return to Sender' etc. male oppressor come-uppance revenge genre )
And which is particularly so to possibly the true underlying critique intended by this 'the people' (=crowd funded) effort, through the initial introduced thoroughly reprehensible - (inferred) Father (?) - figure (although credited only as 'bastard' - David Alan Graf) - despatched, um 'messily' in a sorta serves him right (well, 'bastard' like, I guess!) hoisted by own petard porn surfing, ah, 'activity'! Which, if not that is the (black humour) - 'comedy'?, then is it also a subtle turnaround on all us audience 'voyeurs', too, having been so enticed to view this? (That salacious 'Whipped, chained and tortured ." COME on, y'know, huh ?) Hmm Plus, ponder that with also a suitably menacing drab, drone-like atmospheric soundtracking throughout from '2Sheep Audio' (as credited in the print), too, this is surely a cult curio in the making.
* Although actually, as rather like another in the revenge genre, W. Craven's 'Last House on the Left' was supposedly (notoriously!), incongruously inspired by Bergmann's 'Virgin Spring', it amused me that this has a similar inspirational credit "Inspired by Dante's inferno": as such, miss at your own, er, purgatory!
