Six years have gone by since Alejandro Amenábar brought out his last film Agora, so it’s understandable that his latest film Regression, which opened the 63rd San Sebastian Film festival has really created a buzz. The Spanish director acknowledged that he was quite sure right from the start that this time around he wanted to make a horror film, and that Satanism as one of the several subjects that he was working on which he thought was an interesting starting point. He felt that he wasn’t going to able to give a fresh approach to the subject so he had left it on the back-burner, until one day he came across a series of events involving satanic rituals that occurred in the 1980s in the USA and from that moment on he has quite clear about the film he wanted to make.
The filmmaker defined Regression as a story about fear, evil and the devil but was convinced from the very beginning that the narrative required a realistic approach. He stressed that the film started out as a typical horror film, then continued as a thriller and ended up as a drama, and this was a mixture that he really liked.
