Mark Hanson Slant Magazine The film mines unnerving tension from the absurdity of its main character’s confinement. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 4, 2025 Full Review Blake Simons IndieWire Kawamura’s literary verve has elevated and transformed a dialogue-free indie game into a mystery box more reminiscent of complex ADV adventures such as “Zero Escape” and “Danganronpa,” and the cult film classic “Cube.” Rated: B+ May 24, 2025 Full Review Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com It’s ultimately a clever and unshakeable nightmare about embracing the possibility of change, and the fear that comes with the unknown. May 21, 2025 Full Review Giovanni Lago Next Best Picture “Exit 8” shows video game adaptations can still have a sense of originality, both narratively and technically. Rated: 7/10 Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Siddhant Adlakha JoySauce.com The game’s goofy, spooky happenings still unfold at regular intervals, but what’s more chilling in the movie version is that an outside world clearly exists, imbuing the story with realistic, dread-inducing stakes Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Therese Lacson Collider Exit 8 is a frustrating game at times, one that relies more on your attention to detail than jump scares, but Genki Kawamura was able to turn this simple game into a compelling narrative with this suspenseful film. Rated: 7/10 Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Ulysse B Future cult classic . Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/03/25 Full Review Salim S I never expected such a movie from the game. But the way they made the exit itself more ''interesting'' is super-unique. Aside from the boy i liked every character and their performance. Movie never becomes boring and always keeps you paranoid just like the game. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/03/25 Full Review Audience Member It's a film that doesn't reveal much, but that's exactly why, when you think about it carefully, it becomes as interesting as eating dried squid. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/03/25 Full Review Kohei Y This isn't horror. It was a well-made psychological drama about a man who is not ready to become a father. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/29/25 Full Review Read all reviews
