Exit 8 director Genki Kawamura says the inspiration for the horror film's unique sound design comes from none other than 1980's The Shining.
"I paid a lot of respect to Stanley Kubrick and The Shining in this film," Kawamura tells GamesRadar+. "And when [Danny] goes down the corridor in the tricycle, there was a different sound the tricycle made when it was on wood versus when it was on the carpet. I think that level of difference really kind of gets under our skin and mentally kind of like corners us, which is what I wanted to do."
