Regression doesn’t progress in any compelling fashion and it’s pretty forgettable. In fact, the experience in a word was, cheap.

| Original Score: C- | Aug 2, 2024

...a pervasively inept and thoroughly endless piece of work...

| Original Score: 0/4 | Apr 14, 2022

'Regression' is a bad movie that provides nothing more than an annoying routine... with actors who never manage to transmit anything to us. [Full Review in Spanish]

Boring at times, laughably bad at others and occasionally, I'm afraid, both.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 26, 2017

Despite its Euro-gothic pretensions, the film struggles to sell its far-fetched premise and is further hobbled by a slew of unconvincing performances.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | May 30, 2016

This is a college essay about religion dressed up as drama. Grade: F.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | May 25, 2016

Deriving inspiration from a certain famed Arthur Miller play and reframing it for the era of rampant, media-invoked Satanic Panic fears, "Regression" provocatively blankets its elegiac mystery in a malignant pall of diabolical foreboding.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 16, 2016

This is a movie that, because it deals with secrets, promises thrills and possibly a measure of terror; but, in fact, everything is based on an anti-climax, and the result is a resounding "so what?"

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 2, 2016

Fans of the genre are in for a stylish film, if not a classic.

Absurdity turns quickly to boredom.

| Original Score: C- | Feb 19, 2016

Amenbar's film can barely lay out its faith-vs.-science-vs.-reason conflicts, much less employ them for critical purposes.

| Original Score: 2.5/10 | Feb 11, 2016

By no means the disaster (at least artistically) it's been painted as, this is an unusual horror movie -- one that critiques and subverts its own genre.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 10, 2016

Hawke anchors the film as a cop who descends deeper and deeper into the monstrous, violent world he's uncovered.

| Original Score: B- | Feb 10, 2016

fills me with malaise

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 7, 2016

Listless and lazy, Regression is an ugly mess of genre tropes that tries (and fails) to pass itself off as an atmospheric dissection of hypnosis and hysteria.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Feb 7, 2016

...Regression treats the film more like a dull Salem witch hunt rather than looking deeper into the phenomenon.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Feb 7, 2016

A disposable genre movie that cannot scare, convince, or enlighten.

| Feb 6, 2016

The amazing thing about Regression isn't so much that it's bad, it's that it's mundane.

| Original Score: 4.5/10 | Feb 6, 2016

Regression is eerily old-fashioned, a mystery more concerned with abject paranoia than blood and guts.

| Original Score: B | Feb 5, 2016

Tripped up by its subject matter, the movie is ultimately a tepid and frustrating experience.
