This film is based on real events. People seem to forget that, when they say the ending was disapointing. Well the end was already written for this movie.
Someone else is claiming that the director protects satanic cults, because no evidence was found. Well again it was based on real events and guess what. No evidence was found.
Everybody has a right to an opinion, these guys are not to be talen seriously.When thats said, I think it was a good movie. Predictable, but a solid thriller.

I wouldn't say that the title is misleading. On the contrary it is pretty clear. This is a movie about a Psychological Treatment (Regression) not working as it should be and producing false results.A young woman (Emma Watson) accuses her father for sexual abusing her. The detective (Ethan Hawke) who is on the case assisted by a psychoanalyst (David Thewlis) who uses Sigmund Freud's Regression method, uncover evidence of a satanic cult.The movie is rather slow. Tries to be scary a few times but overall it seems lazy in this goal too. It has an eerie feel but fails to seduce you into its dreaming sequences.Overall: Most certainly not "Rosemary's Baby". Maybe if you are a fan of Emma Watson and want to see her in something else than Harry Potter...

If you can trust an actor to make a good horror, lately that one is Ethan Hawke. From Sinister, to The Purge, or Daybreakers, he knows how to pick them and make the most of them.A lot more psychological than the rest, Regression has a beautiful story, with a great dark atmosphere, suspense, scares, all the ingredients to a good little horror. I was intrigued from start to end, waiting to see more, trying to wrap my brain around it, and expecting a finish that would make the most sense.And boy I got it all! It really is a great production, an example of what a horror should look like, goes hand in hand with Deliver Us From Evil, both movies are smart and filled with tension.Cheers!
