Synopsis

'Exit 8' is the new film by Japanese filmmaker Genki Kawamura, director of movies like 'Monster' and 'Weathering with You', among others. This feature film is based on the video game "The Exit 8" by the company KOTAKE CREATE. The game has the premise of an anonymous person who finds themselves trapped in a loop inside a subway station; there, they must advance only when there are no "anomalies" nearby, if they do, they will have to return to the start and will not be able to escape this oppressive place.

In the film, Kazunari Ninomiya plays a man who gets lost in an underground passage. Several unpleasant events occur while he tries with all his might to get out with the help of a guide. The different people that appear, as well as what they do and say, make Ninomiya's character doubt the reality of what he is experiencing. The cast is completed by actors such as Yamato Kôchi, Naru Asanuma, Kotone Hanase, Nana Komatsu, Hikakin, and Hirota Ôtsuka.

All of this creates the perfect recipe for an intriguing film, combining action and horror that will leave viewers captivated. It mixes the action of the videogame with the visuals of a film so success could be guaranteed.
