Last week an absolutely terrible Chinese trailer for Exeter (formerly Backmask) was release, and it looked like “Scooby-Doo” meets Evil Dead meets The Exorcist with a bunch of bros. Now, sales agent Voltage Pictures has rushed out a new international trailer that’s less awful. There appears to be some great moments (the shotgun clip is crazy), but the conceit feels stale – unless of course you’re excited but a group of kids using a tablet to learn how to perform an exorcism properly.
It hails from Friday the 13th and Texas Chainsaw Massacre director Marcus Nispel, and it opens overseas on January 15, 2015.
In the film, “During a sex, drugs, and rock-fueled party, six small-town teenagers find an old vinyl record and decide to play it backwards in order to listen for any subliminal/satanic messages. Lo and behold, a seemingly malevolent spirit quickly infiltrates the group, wreaking havoc as it moves from one body to another. Eventually, however, it’s revealed that the spirit in question is actually trying to convey a message… and that the real source of horror isn’t particularly paranormal, but rather something (or someone) much closer to home.”
Gage Golightly, Kelly Blatz, Brittany Curran, Brett Dier, Nick Nicotera, Michael Ormsby, Nick Nordella, and Stephen Lang star.
