Regression Reviews

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

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

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

| 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.

| Feb 5, 2016

Well-intended seriousness dismantles "Regression," a not-exactly-horror horror movie that's also a mystery with no mystery.

| Feb 5, 2016

It spends a lot of time considering the fear of knowing, which may explain why Alejandro Amenbar didn't seem to know what kind of film he was making.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 4, 2016

Straddles the line between psychological suspense and supernatural horror.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 11, 2015

This is a very ponderous affair, pitched in some purgatorial wasteland between cop thriller and Rosemary's Baby-style Satanic drama.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 9, 2015

For a less trashy, more authentically chilling experience, seek out Ti West's The House of the Devil instead.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 8, 2015

Ethan Hawke is one of the most naturally plausible screen actors working today, but Regression is the film that has finally defeated him.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 8, 2015

Regression is a modestly budgeted investigative thriller that showcases ill-judged performances, poorly written characters and horrible direction.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 8, 2015

Something to be airbrushed from everyone's CV.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 8, 2015

This allegedly fact-based tale of Satanic suspicions in small-town Minnesota is potboiler material at best, threatening far twistier terrors than those it predictably delivers.
