The official trailer for Alejando Amenabar’s REGRESSION has arrived, just one day after the new one-sheet hit. The film, which will be released by the Weinstein company later this summer, stars Ethan Hawke as a detective who investigates the creepy claims of an abused young woman, played by Emma Watson. Naturally, nothing is as it seems – if it were, would it be any fun?
The synopsis:
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?
REGRESSION opens August 28th.
