Plots(1)
Six teenagers host the sex and drug-fuelled party of a lifetime in an old, abandoned asylum, ignoring rumours that the once brutal and controversial home for the criminally insane still houses the spirits of its tormented victims. After a series of increasingly daring games, they soon raise the stakes and attempt to summon the spirits that haunt the building. However, they soon find themselves fighting for their lives as a vengeful spirit infiltrates the group, wreaking havoc as it moves from one body to the next. (StudioCanal UK)

The money spent on this film could have been used for something more useful, like, for example, providing Marcus Nispel with long term psychiatric care.

The trailer was okay, the ratings were terrible, and I still gave Exeter a shot, and in the end it wasn't bad at all. It's a fact that the movie is stupid to the point of being painful, the behavior of the characters and the script are among the worst in the category, but I'm not allergic to that. The film keeps a fairly decent pace, has a few decent jokes, it's even filmed decently and the last half hour is awesome with perfect gore, which makes it a wonder that even bloody fans are so critical of the film. A few scenes were very good, and the ending itself with the head cut in half and the toothbrushes stuck in the eyes, it’s not something you see every day. Not much to recommend it, but a relatively fine B-movie. 55%

Exeter is an achievement of modern horror in the worst sense of the word. It's an unoriginal spectacle that isn't entertaining, but it tries at all costs to come up with a story that's currently trending, hoping to increase the likelihood that someone will watch it. But it lacks anything extra, not to mention that the film isn't actually scary. I find Marcus Nispel a boring director who can't get anything out of the subject matter.
