During an all-night, drug-fueled party at an abandoned asylum known for the horrific treatment of its patients, a group of ordinary teens decide to experiment with the occult, mysteriously leading to a violent possession. In an effort to find help, the group rushes to escape, only to find themselves locked inside with no means of communication. Tempers flare, trusts are broken and in attempt to save one of their friends possessed by the demon, the amateurs try to perform an exorcism. Instead of solving the problem, and unbeknownst to them, they unleash an even more powerful and vengeful spirit, one with a distinct motive and which wants them all dead. The teen's only chance of survival is to uncover the asylum's deep mysteries and find a way out before it's too late.

Biggest Swing

The film drops significantly during the tedious setup and character introductions before recovering when the supernatural horror elements kick in.

Exeter starts with a striking opening that quickly deteriorates into generic teen horror clichés and poor character development. The film recovers somewhat in the middle act when practical gore effects and possession sequences engage horror fans, though it never fully escapes its formulaic nature. Critics consistently praised the technical aspects and practical effects while condemning the predictable plot and illogical character behavior.
