Critics Consensus

An unsettling maze navigated with finesse by director Genki Kawamura, Exit 8 is a video game adaptation rendered with existential dread and stylistic sophistication.

Still, there’s just enough for fans of the game or modern horror to chew on. If you wait to see it until PVOD or streaming, try watching it on a subway train on your way to work for maximum impact.

2.5/4

Both the game and the film boast some light horror elements, but it’s the constantly tense atmosphere where the latter especially thrives. Even when nothing seems to be wrong, your mind begins to question itself, pondering if you’re not seeing something.

'Exit 8' isn’t just one of the best video game adaptations. It might actually be the best so far.

I had a great time with it. Completely unpredictable. The anxiety they built up is a blast

“Exit 8” is both pretty faithful to its source and stands on its own as a singularly effective chiller.

Based on trailer, I expected a Japanese horror flick. instead, it was a morality tale.

Immersive psych horror/sci-fi film with really clean edits, terrific ambient sound, and just enough story to make it interesting as a full-length film, Exit 8 was really worth seeing in a theater! During the film, no one brought out phones, they werent talking, everyone was just glued to the screen. It only took about three minutes for us to get invested in the narrative and the charcters well being. Excellent!
