The Exit 8

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.

Based off the video game, very good movie would recommend :D, lets hope I sure don't get stuck in that loop lol.

Also, make sure to stay tuned for the post credits scene, because theres a teaser for the second movie which is basically the first one but on a subway train this time instead of in a subway station hall.

I don't normally watch horror films but this time I made an exception, unwittingly though, but I don't regret it. Exit 8, based on an eponymous video game, is a new social horror from Japan, set in a subway passage, where the main character gets stuck in a loop after getting off the train and talking to his ex-girlfriend on the phone.

The film offers an engaging way of criticizing the modern Japanese (and maybe international) society where each individual is focused on themselves, blind to the outside world, incapable of facing emotional challenges and reluctant to get out of their own loop.

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.
