Alessio C Great premise, solid visuals, good music, and the metaphor is there, deep and clear. But the execution... not so much. I get it's an Asian thing to push drama to the limit, but for me it just felt overcooked. In anime that exaggeration works - it's part of the charm. But in a live-action movie it breaks the seriousness, makes you smile when you're supposed to cry. And then the director keeps hammering you with the metaphor until it's not deep anymore, it's just obvious: "See? He's lost in the subway because he's lost in his decision about fatherhood. Get it? GET IT?" Yeah, I got it the first time. Thanks. So, the idea is great, but the delivery drags it down. 7/10 Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/29/25 Full Review Adam C I've seen it in IMAX and was very, very impressed. I have never had an experience like this, especially since I only knew the title and general premise of the game. I think Exit 8 achieved a lot: it was creepy, unnerving, it made me jump from a scare and feel disgust from body horror. It made me question the protagonists motives, it made me cheer for them, care for them and get angry at their mistakes when I spotted something that they didn't. Finally, it kept me on my toes till the very last second and made me really tear up. I went to watch a niche, summer horror and ended up with a very elaborate psychological horror and a redemption story in the form of filmed three-act theater play. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/22/25 Full Review Nicole B I’m personally a big fan of the game the movie is based off. I had high expectations and they were definitely met. I didn’t expect it to be so similar to the game and knowing the anger of being back at 0 made it feel even More immersive then the movie was set up to be. The movie also having this message of the same boring thing and having to make the right choices to get out of it made it even better definitely a great watch Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/21/25 Full Review Yusuf Anbar F Best game adaptation movie I've ever seen. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/19/25 Full Review Simon N I enjoyed it immensely, was also looking for annamoly as the film progress. I like the extension of the npc characters, which gives the story a more complex storyline. Highly recommended!
