Everything starts out well enough in the new Ethan Hawke-Emma Watson thriller, Regression. Or, it starts out well enough for the audience. The characters have a whole heap of problems. By the time the credits role at the end of the movie, some characters will be better off and others worse, but that audience for whom things started so well will only wind up disappointed.
The film takes place in 1990, a time when, the beginning of the film tells the audience, satanic fears were sweeping the nation. It is "inspired" by real events. Hawke plays the lead character, police detective Bruce Kenner. Recently left by his wife, Kenner finds himself on a case involving a local family, the Grays. The father, John (David Dencik), has been accused by the daughter, Angela (Watson), of molesting her. Rather than denying the crime, John says that he simply can't remember. It's impossible that it happened but he's also certain that it's true; Angela doesn't lie.
Soon, Angela's story expands – there was more than one person involved, they were dressed like people in a satanic cult, weird rituals took place. The entire small city in Minnesota in which they live becomes caught up in Angela's satanic cult story and while there is no physical proof of anything, the tales the police are told by many people corroborate Angela's account.
At the start of Regression, there are any number of paths the film could go down, there are any number of versions of the story it could tell. At every point where Amenábar has a choice to make about the direction of the story, rather than opting to go give the audience any new, different, or interesting path, the movie takes the most well-worn and...

Parents need to know that Regression is a thriller with horror elements. It deals with the possibility of satanic cults and includes imagined/dreamed rituals, including slicing up babies and eating them (this is strongly implied but not actually shown).
