    Does he have to cough so much?

    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.

    Are you in the loop?

    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.

    The Exit 8

    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.

    Great

    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.

    Horrible film

    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?!?
