As Good As It Gets

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

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.

There are some real Horror Snobs out there . I'm not sure what they want. There is the gore / torture group, who if there isn't kids getting murdered and babies decapitated , are unhappy. They are really secret psychopaths who are living out there sick fantasies by proxy and have terrible taste. Then there is the intellectual crowd, who , although much better taste , are too stuck up to enjoy anything that doesn't think too much or look too fancy / hip. I like horror for one reason. It's not boring. OK, so this is not Hostel. And it's not Silence of the Lambs or Sinister. But that doesn't mean that it has no merit! This is a pretty good little exorcism flick. Fast paced, good effects, great acting, and no lame lines ( which is super hard to do in a movie about teens. Dialogue just starts to evaporate the younger the cast. Was it cheese? No. It actually scared me. More like roller coaster scares. I was stressed out watching it but could walk downstairs and use the bathroom alone no problem. Not very realistic but you won't care. It's not that kind of fun, and you won't notice. Very gross. Ya. All in all, this is a great movie for fun and jumps, and it isn't stupid. Well, except for one part . There is a part in this movie that is about the sign of the crescent moon. In the movie they say that it is a Wicca sign ( true) and that it is demonic and don't want to spoil the movie but they say that it is a bad thing. OK so for anyone out there not familiar with Wicca, Wicca is probably the tamest, nicest, kindest, pure good and white religion out there. Wiccans are more Christ like than Christians. They go by a code, which is not to hurt anyone less you get hurt three times worse. They worship nature or and the goddess and are really peaceful, good people. They are the furthest from anything evil, or satanic or bad / black there is. But I get it, not many people have any idea about the witchcraft religions and they like to think they are super scary and all that . I can forgive that. Because I'm used to that. No I'm not Wiccan but I've known a lot and they remind me of Jesus . They are that nice and that harmless. They are as scared of the dark stuff as everyone else. So besides that , you should enjoy this film.. Have fun. Get grossed out and be entertained and don't listen to anyone that gave this movie less than a 6. They're lying.

If you're in for a chuckle or two and you have a dark sense of humor this may be your speed. Think Army of the Dead but trying to be more serious and less cheesy. Honestly I've had this movie on my computer for the past two years listed as The Asylum and I spent a while looking for this. It's not a good horror/thriller but then again it's difficult to scare me. -Possession, overused theme and it's been warn out. I get it catholic church, possession's a thing, I don't buy it but I believe that you believe it's real -Decent roster of actors with a very generic plot line, they managed to make it "work". -Music choice was decentFor the music I give it a 3, and because I kept watching it. I in all good conscience don't believe anything other than The last air bender, Dragonball Evolution, Avatar, and from what I've heard the fantastic 4 reboot deserve less than a 3.But take my word for it, save yourself the time and skip this movie, all you really want to see is within the first minute or so. You're welcome.
