If you loved Friday the 13th, try Exeter
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Exeter has roughly 14.2× fewer votes than Friday the 13th — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Marcus Nispel, and they sit in Horror / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Friday the 13th, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Exeter is
Flickering neon, winter. A dented bong sits on cracked tile in the intake room of Exeter Asylum. Laughter turns to static as shadows peel from walls and a figure bends backward, spine clicking. This is Paranormal Activity with more concrete and a grudge.
