The nameless protagonist tries to escape to the surface from the painfully sterile, claustrophobia-inducing Tokyo underground. According to the signs, he needs to find Exit 8, but to do so, he has to navigate the insane maze around.

Shot from Exit 8, 2025

A rare game-based movie that actually has the feel of a game, with confoundingly tricky rules, Exit 8 should achieve solid cult status beyond Japan.

— Jonathan Romney, Screen International

The film adaptation of the eponymous hit video game is true to the original—but, while copying its aesthetics and mechanics, it goes further and translates them into the language of cutting-edge horror.
