Marcus Nispel’s Backmask retitled to Exeter

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

While we've been sitting around patiently awaiting word as to when we will finally be able to see Marcus Nispel's long-awaited BACKMASK, the powers-that-be behind the film have decided to retitle the film. Now the film formerly known as BACKMASK is carrying the new title EXETER, and we still don't have a release date.

You may recall that just last week we brought you the NSFW opening credits sequence to the flick, which was still carrying the BACKMASK title. The film, which stars Gage Golightly, Michael Ormsby, Stephen Lang, Kelly Blatz, Brett Dier, Nick Nicotera, Nick Nordella and Brittany Curran, is about:

“During a sex, drugs, and rock-fueled party, six small-town teenagers find an old vintage 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.“

Kirsten Elms penned the script.

So now we have a new title in EXETER. Could this mean that we'll finally be hearing a release date soon? I'm certainly curious to check this one out (although, to be honest, I prefer the original title). We'll keep you posted.
