I WATCHED THIS MOVIE FOR MY 2020 MOVIE CHALLENGE.
WEEK 2: A THRILLER MOVIE

Review: Detective Bruce kenner investigates a vice case involving young Angela. When they decide to use a psychoanalyst to take her back to the moment of the deed, a lot of extra information is released.
“Regression” opens with this case, no introduction, no explanation. Along the way everything becomes clear. The film revolves around regression therapy, trying to retrieve repressed memories. This way Bruce comes closer to the solution. This case is also about satanic rituals.
The film has its moments and it has a creepy atmosphere. And the acting is solid. But the rather disappointing revelation at the end drags the film down. An ending that makes you forget about the rest of the film.
“Regression” is an okay thriller, but it’s super forgettable.

Rating: 2,5 / 5
