The great Ethan Hawke continues his to soar with REGRESSION, the family-abuse thriller from director Alejandro Amenabar opening August 28th. Earlier today we flashed a new trailer for the flick, and now, a day after the first, the second poster for the movie has been unveiled as well. Hawke looks mighty guilty there, no? Check it out below!
Co-starring Emma Watson:
REGRESSION is set in a small Minnesota town in 1980 where a man is arrested for sexually abusing his daughter. He admits his guilt despite having no memory of it. With the help of a psychologist, he relives the memories and implicates a police officer as his partner in crime. The man’s estranged son and other townspeople are also suddenly able to relive suppressed memories of horrific abuse. At the same time, the local news reports blame a Satanic cult that has been performing rituals of orgies, assault, killing animals and even babies, for years. The officers are alarmed when similar reports come in from all around the country—they believe they’ve uncovered a national and possibly supernatural conspiracy. Is the abuse real, or something else?
That’s about as intriguing and taboo of a plotline we’ve seen in awhile. Can’t wait!
