Exit 8 review — you'll never look at subway tunnels the same way after watching this tense horror movie

Kazunari Ninomiya in Exit 8, staring wide eyes at something while a little boy looms in the background. They are standing in a subway station with blood on the walls.

Exit 8 is the latest horror game to screen adaptation, joining A24's Backrooms in championing liminal spaces and how terrifying they can be. Fans of the short game by Kotake Create will likely be surprised by just how effective Exit 8 is, bringing the story to life on screen.

Unlike the Exit 8 game, the movie does have more of a plot to give it some substance, and we immediately become invested in our protagonist, known simply as The Lost Man (Kazunari Ninomiya).
