Exeter (film)

Exeter (titled The Asylum in the UK) is a 2015 American supernatural horror film directed by Marcus Nispel.

It stars Stephen Lang, Kelly Blatz, Brittany Curran, Brett Dier and Gage Golightly.

Conway, who is disappointed that Patrick has not applied for college, believes that God has a special plan for him.

After they discuss the site's troubled history and its potential for supernatural phenomena, Amber convinces the others to attempt to levitate Rory.

When Patrick and Reign encounter Rory later, they become convinced that he is possessed, as he is speaking in tongues and viciously attacking anyone who approaches him.

Brian and Amber panic, and as they flee Exeter, they accidentally strike Father Conway with their car, apparently killing him.

Looking for clues to help them, Reign and Patrick discover video tapes of a troubled teen at Exeter, Devon, who is apparently Conway's child.

A message written in blood on one of the ceilings demands that the teens speak to the entity, so they carve out a Ouija board.

After killing Amber, Patrick and Reign find Rory, who says that Conway trapped him in a box for his own protection.

When they find the security system, they disable the lock down, and Patrick forces Rory to flee to safety.

[3][4] The screenplay is written by Kirsten McCallion, and the make-up effects were carried out by Shaun Smith.

[10] Gareth Jones of Dread Central rated it 3/5 stars and wrote, "The Asylum is a peculiar experience; a definite oddity that seems only ever a moment away from completely falling apart.

"[11] Pat Torfe of Bloody Disgusting rated it 3/5 stars and called it "one of those films where you turn your brain off and just let it play with a couple of friends and a case of beer".
