I really liked Session 9 and Shutter Island. Can you recommend any movies that are like those?

Do you mean District 9 and Shutter Island ?
If so, I would say Star Trek(09) and Inception.

Edit: I just looked up Session 9. I've never heard of it.

Not the Pierce Brosnan one, although that one is still quite good.

Along Come a Spider with Morgan Freeman

With some Sci-Fi flavor Impostor with Gary Sinise

First, +1 on The Others. A lot of people panned it but it was very good and very creepy.

I'n not sure if this is off-base or not but the first thing I thought of when I saw Shutter Island was The Ghost Writer. It's kind of similar in style and tone and has a similar thriller/mystery vibe.

Which leads to a perfect opportunity to shill for some older Polanski films - Rosemary's Baby, Repulsion and The Tenant are all very good psychological/supernatural/who-knows-what thriller/character studies.

Shutter Island reminded me a lot of The Shining.

The Mothman Prophecies would be up your alley. I am still hoping for a BD release of it.

Mothman was a really underrated film imo.
