Regression (2015); The Tension is Rising.

This film is not out till mid-August this year but I can already fill the tension of this film coming. I find for some it's hard to make a good and unpredictable psychological thriller; however, with The Others  director Alejandro Amenabar  behind both the directing AND writing wheel of Regression,  I have no doubt that the edge of our seats will not remain empty for long. Image Taken From Wikipedia. This films cast includes revolutionary actors; Emma Watson, Ethan Hawke  and David Thewlis, three professionals who take their work seriously and explode passion of the piece over everything they have done or will do. We have recently seen Hawke  in a more thriller light since his main role in horror film  Sinister  and Thewlis has shown us he can be the sinister one in films like Stonehearst Asylum, but I have to admit, the excitement I can feel for this film is the nervous-ness and curiosity of Watson  playing a deep and disturbed role such is the part of Angela.

To the point answer that makes me think about it more, there is a great idea that floats around this; and that is that in one spur of the moment decision or a want for a new hobby or just to try something new, talents flare gun has shot and has now created another actor who will go down in film history with his work. Murphy's credits of roles are in the region of 80 and are constantly growing, so I asked him, as I always do, about his inspirations when it comes to not just playing a role but also picking one and he couldn't of g
