Set to close out the summer season on the weekend of Aug. 28, Alejandor Amenabar‘s Regression is one I’m very much looking forward to seeing.
Starring Ethan Hawke as a detective investigating the case of young girl (Emma Watson), who accuses her father of an unspeakable crime, the investigation takes a twist when her father John, without recollection, admits guilt Renowned psychologist Dr. Raines (David Thewlis) is brought in to help him relive his memories and what they discover unmasks a horrifying nationwide mystery.
Amenabar’s biggest commercial success to date is The Others with Abre los ojos and The Sea Inside serving as two of his more appreciated, critical features. His last film, Agora, was a bit of a mess and I’m truly hoping he once again gains his stride with this one.
Watch the trailer for Regression below.
