Exit 8

A man tries to escape a tangled labyrinth. A puzzle-thriller based on the cult Japanese indie game of the same name, combining minimal narrative with maximum tension.

A psychological thriller by Genki Kawamura, screened at the Cannes Film Festival in the Midnight Screenings section. The film plunges the viewer into the endless, sterile corridors of the Tokyo subway, where the protagonist attempts to find a way out by following a simple yet terrifyingly strict rule: never ignore anything unusual, and if an anomaly appears — immediately turn back. Each wrong step sends him back to the beginning, gradually turning the ordeal into a test of endurance.
