With a psychologist help he manage to get back some memories of it and all of the sudden other people in the town starts to get back blocked memories of abuses. News stories break and blame a satanic cult who’s been performing dark rituals and orgies.

	Media	Author	Review
		Guy Lodge Variety	"Disappointingly cautious tale of small-town Satanic suspicion. (...) the pic is neither disquieting enough to take seriously, nor lurid enough for fright-night indulgence."
		Lee Marshall Screendaily	"In trying to combine the perceptiveness of a drama about mass hysteria and poor police work with the jump-in-your-seat frisson of a thriller, 'Regression' is killed in the crossfire."
		Jonathan Holland The Hollywood Reporter	"Dark, smart, and involving, but too safe. (...) it's most interesting beneath its polished, doomy surface, where complex concerns about the cultural origins of our fears are skillfully explored. (...) 'Regression' is at times unusually and unnecessarily explicit in its images"
