rossamthomson Judging by the reviews it seems to be a polarizing film that has determined this, rather unfair, low score. I found Regression to have an interesting premise, well written, crafted and credibly pulled off by stylish director Alejandro Amenábar. Writer/director of The Others and Open your Eyes, as well as writer of the English version, Vanilla Sky. A classic thriller with a classic twist. Worth watching.

Michael Ledo Angela (Emma Watson) accuses her father (David Dencik) of molesting her. Detective Bruce Kenner (Ethan Hawke) brings in psychologist Professor Kenneth Raines (David Thewlis) who uses regression therapy and uncovers a huge Satanic conspiracy, one that has been sweeping the nation since the publication of a book on Satanism.The film was half interesting. The problem was having lived through the 1990s while Rosanne Barr was on the cover of every tabloid, I knew exactly where the film was going, and once it got there, the film quickly fell off a cliff. The acting and script was fair. Nothing to write home about. Guide: F-bomb, sex, brief nudity?BTW. There are currently organized Satanic Temples throughout the US with the largest bring in Detroit (cheap property values). The people in the church do not really believe in Satan. They are atheists who are using Satanism to irk Christians.

snailmaillove Poor performance from Emma Watson in this particular role, not very credible. Luckily, Ethan Hawke makes up for a little of it. For almost the entire movie, you're going in rounds and wondering what is going on. Only the last 10-15 minutes give some revelation and it's fairly disappointing. Sure, you'll keep watching it in the hope someone will explain what is going on, but you'll end up wasting your time.

Bob An So, a few minutes before the film will end, I somehow knew it would end because the mysteries of the film were solved - but were they really? I mean, the film ended and I felt like this 'end' should have taken place in first 30 minutes or so and I wished for the film to continue and make things clearer ( for me) ... The ending left me confused. Some of the reviews here cleared the things up a bit.So, actually the film was about a false memory?! Regression into the past that was not actually real?If that is the case then this film did not do a great job. Actually I do not know what kind of film this is and what was the point of it. More so because it is based on true events and it gives some kind of an explanation at the end of the film which is very vague.I picked up to see this film mostly because of Ethan who was great in Sinister and The Purge. I can not say he was bad here. He was OK, as this film is. Somewhere in the middle. I do see a potential in the premise of the film but it was not fully developed to be more captivating.Five from me.
