    Storyline

    • Trivia
      "Satanic Panic" is the name of the cultural obsession with "Satanic Ritual Abuse" which originated in the United States in the 1980s with the now-discredited memoir-style book "Michelle Remembers," written by Canadians Michelle Smith and her husband, psychiatrist Lawrence Pazder. The authors made waves during the 80's by traveling the talk-show circuit and testifying as expert witnesses in criminal trials alleging Satanic abuse. The book and Smith are represented in the film as "In Satan's Name" by S. Cooper, who is shown as a TV interview subject whose face is obscured in shadow to hide her identity.

    Good! Quite good!

    If you can trust an actor to make a good horror, lately that one is Ethan Hawke. From Sinister, to The Purge, or Daybreakers, he knows how to pick them and make the most of them.

    A lot more psychological than the rest, Regression has a beautiful story, with a great dark atmosphere, suspense, scares, all the ingredients to a good little horror. I was intrigued from start to end, waiting to see more, trying to wrap my brain around it, and expecting a finish that would make the most sense.

    And boy I got it all! It really is a great production, an example of what a horror should look like, goes hand in hand with Deliver Us From Evil, both movies are smart and filled with tension.

    Cheers!
