Amenbar's film can barely lay out its faith-vs.-science-vs.-reason conflicts, much less employ them for critical purposes.

Hawke anchors the film as a cop who descends deeper and deeper into the monstrous, violent world he's uncovered.

A disposable genre movie that cannot scare, convince, or enlighten.

Regression doesn’t progress in any compelling fashion and it’s pretty forgettable. In fact, the experience in a word was, cheap.
