everything you have heard about this movie is true.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

This movie was NOT a 4.6 film. I don't know why it's rating is so low. 4.6 is the kind of rating you might see in a Lucifer Valentine, Uwe Boll, or Ed Wood film. When I think of 4.6, I think of August Underground and movies of that ilk. Really, when you think about it, if Exeter warrants a 4.6 so does Michael Haneke's Funny Games or Yorgos Lanthimos's Dogtooth which, incidentally, won the Prix Un Certain Regard at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.For what it is, Exeter was well done. The ultra-violence was well done. Teenagers being a**hole teenagers was well done. Sure, the exorcism scenes were a bit cliché, as well as the frequent homages to Evil Dead, still, it was 90 minutes well spent. In all actuality, this movie is probably closer to a 6. I gave it a 7 to help balance out the negative reviews that propelled it's numbers to the depth of SyFy offerings. I think this movie would've done well in the cinemas, too. Maybe it's DirectTV debut was a mistake. Too bad.

Its directed by Marcus Nispel (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th). Starring Stephen Lang (Avatar, Gods n Generals, Tombstone). Kelly Blatz (Simon Says, From Within, Prom Night). Brittany Curran ( The Uninvited 2008 film, The Haunting Hour). Brett Dier (Dear Mr. Gacy, Grace). The pacing of the movie was good. As a viewer, v don't feel bore for a sec. Same ol story, same old cliché, but the kills were good compared to other movies based on possession. The acting was ordinary. I don't seem to understand y in all possession movies, the possesesd person has to fly in the air or do hyper-extension of the joints. Its getting monotonous. This movie was good compared to other in the genre coz of the kills which were brutal, gory n over the top. Good fun, one time watch. There is a scene in the movie, the first time when they see the possessed person levitating in the air n suddenly the next scene they r tying him on the bed. Also what was the intention of showing the statute again n again? Hope to see good horror films from the director of this, as he has potential.

Director Marcus Nispel's previous incursions into horror cinema were two remakes of legendary films (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th), and Exeter is his first horror movie with "original" material... even though it doesn't have a pinch of originality. The screenplay of Exeter is built by parts borrowed from much better films, from The Evil Dead to The Exorcist. However, I have to admit that, despite not being a very good movie, I found Exeter moderately entertaining and occasionally funny... even though this last thing was accidental. The main problem of Exeter is the unlikable characters, whose arrogant attitudes and superficial development avoid their deaths from evoking the slightest emotion; I couldn't even empathize with the heroes by default. And the screenplay is full of huge holes and logical inconsistencies. For example, the characters have access to the Internet with their cellphones, and even an iPad tablet to consult the steps of an exorcism... but they can't use them in order to ask for help? And, of course, an evil force closed the doors and windows to avoid them from escaping; however, there are tools everywhere (the building they are in is getting renovated), and the doors and windows don't seem very resistant. Maybe, with some cooperation and effort... eh, nevermind; screenwriter Kirsten Elms obviously didn't expect the audience to make inconvenient questions. On the positive side of Exeter, the cinematography, production design and settings are attractive and appropriately "grunge". In conclusion, Exeter managed to keep me moderately entertained despite its mediocrity, and I can give it a slight recommendation because of that.

This film is absolutely the worst horror picture this year, and the contender's for bad American horror movies this year is huge.. Don't waste one second on this film.. All of the people and movies mentioned in the credits are terrible at their jobs and not one... of those films they worked on was scary.. Want to see scary.. Watch Inside 2007, aka "À l'intérieur" , Martyrs, Frontier , High Tension aka Haute Tension, not French but great "Eden Lake" .even "Le Horde" .this is horror film making.. Back Mask .. BackWash would have been more appropriate.. consists of a gaggle of cliché stupid white kids doing stupid unbelievable stuff.. that makes absolutely sense to no normal person. This film is an affront to your intelligence.. The script is as boring and stupid as every low budget horror film that's been made in the US. since .. well. forever..
