Exit 8

This was very horrible, it didn't make any sense. I don't half of what happened, I think it could of worked as a mini film but not as a full on movie. And this guy is so stupid, HE JUST STANDS THERE, when he's supposed to turn back LIKE WHAT??? WHY DID YOU GO THROUGH THE DOOR??? This guy thinks he's in a horror movie and just proceeds to go into it. I didn't understand the walking guy either and a lot just didn't make sense, and what happened to the kid?!?

The story of the film pulled me in immediately it had a raw depth that lingered long after the credits. I loved the tension and anger I felt when certain details were overlooked. That frustration showed me how invested I had become. The emotions portrayed were striking and authentic, giving the film a powerful edge.

What makes it fascinating is the paradox: it feels so deep in its themes, yet at times superficial in its execution almost as if it left space for us to fill in the blanks with our own interpretations.

At its core, the film poses a timeless question: if life handed us chances, would we truly take them, or would we wait, hoping for a clearer sign? That lingering thought makes the movie unforgettable, even beyond its imperfections.

This absolutely briliant movie in a way it is made and shot. The camera plays a tricks on you, builds incredible tension, lets you looking for "anomalies" just like the characters do so you truly become ingaged in the story.

"Exit 8" is a smart and inventive project that makes the most of its minimalism.

It is a film adaptation of a computer game. The plot revolves around discovering anomalies at a train station and deciding which direction to go, with a horror and thriller theme.

However, the horror element is almost nonexistent, and it also lacks suspense. Because of this, the film fails to deliver what it promises and ends up being mediocre. Considering that there was already a ready-made storyline, it is quite disappointing for the film to turn out so lacking. 5/10.

I knew they would add sub plots, but there is no indication that the protagonist of the game had asthma. This guy coughs so much you would assume he had covid 19. It doesn't drive up tension, it's just unrealistic and irritating. I'm otherwise enjoying the movie, but i come back to reduce the score every time this happens.

Edit: this "sub plot" thankfully stops about half way through, but there is basically zero explanation as to why. Maybe the asthma was an anomaly. The movie is overall a decent way to spent 90 minutes, and didnt waste too much time given that the subject matter can be completed in 10 minutes.
