Exit 8 director wants to reinvent video game adaptations and blur the "borders between the movie and game mediums"

Exit 8.

Exit 8 director Genki Kawamura says he wanted the upcoming horror film to blur the lines between movie and video game.

"So when this game came out, people were playing the game on streaming," Kawamura explains to GamesRadar+. "I was very impressed with the overall game design. But I also watched a lot of different streamers. And because the game is so simple, it served as this backdrop, and there were as many stories in there as there were players and videos on stream. So I thought that this game almost served as a device to explore something much more human."
