Review of Regression

Regression (I) (2015)
A movie about a Psychological Treatment not working as it should be...
8 February 2016
Warning: Spoilers
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...
