This is a ‘based on a true story’ movie about a detective investigating a possible molestation case who uncovers a hidden satanic group in a small town using, now generally unused, regressive therapy. Heard it all before? Pretty much. Anything new to be found in this movie? Not really.

Making matters worse is that the ending just leaves the rest of the movie being inconsequential so you’ve just wasted your time with the ninety odd minutes that preceded it.

To try and find some positives the movie does have a very Roman Polanski like feel and there are some good eerie moments but it just never seems to take a leap in any direction and plods along until the shocking (and not in a good way) climax. Ethan Hawke does his best to look intense and confused in equal parts and Emma Watson plays the doe eyed victim quite well but in the end all their effort is ruined by the disappointing final fifteen minutes.
