If the plot summary looks very little, it’s because there are the smallest plots to summarize here. Watch within 95 minutes Exit 8 Movie, you can complete two average length games of its video game original material. If you’re really good at “live difference” games, it might even be six games. This makes Exit 8 A strange adaptation choice: How do you keep such a minimalist material in a long form?
Genki Kawamurais a bestselling author and producer (he is working Makoto Shinkai The movie comes from Your name. Each Mamoru Hosoda The movie comes from Wolf’s child arrive Beauty), with some good instincts to guide and co-written (and Hirase Kentaro) such a live-action adaptation. Most obvious of these instincts is that the nameless protagonist of the film is considered to be the lost person (Kazunari Ninomiya), must suck the game. The more he tries to pass the subway, the more chances he has to get a fun, creepy visual.
The film’s opening footage brings viewers into the field of lost people and is shot in first-person length. This means that when he reaches the repetitive corridor it looks exactly like a game, but before he gets lost we also have a few minutes of background: He is an asthma, devastating father who is too passive and timid to stand up and stands up with a man bullying his mother and baby on a train. The backstory of the Lost Man brings some psychological drama to the film, while the mysterious environment is not burdened by the backstory.
When the story of the lost man begins to become thin, Kawamura expands the story by changing his perspective: first to the Jump-Scared Walker (Yamato Kochi), a character displayed on the screen in the game, and then the boy (Naru Asanuma), another “player character” of “player character” is lost. The shift in perspective made the film a little different, making “The Lost Man” not only talk to itself throughout the film, but it was not enough to overcome the repetition of “gameplay” in the entire film process.
Technically, this is an impressive piece. Long-term photography keeps everything beautiful, while the right position is edited to prevent the style from becoming a head. Repeat sets are the perfect entertainment for the game and can also be an effective tribute to Kubrick’s Shiny. The sound design is excellent, and the most horrifying moments of the movie depend on sound. Sound effects are better than Shoji Amimori and Yasutaka Nakatabut all the audio elements are gathered together.
With its style advantages, Exit 8 Will make excellent short films. As a feature it was enough to enjoy (enhance my estimate with a very satisfying ending), but overall it was neither scary nor considerate enough to overcome its repetitive way of losing all my interest as it stretched in the middle. This is a substantial exercise, an extension let’s Play The big budget video is still one of the best video game-based movies, but it is still a faint compliment.
Front Exit 8Neon’s North American premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival announced that the film will be released in the American theater sometime in 2026. Neon’s acquisitions tend to fall into one of two categories – buzzing sellable horror and unique international films from the Cannes Film Festival – so even these two movies are suitable for one, or even the ones in it, can be their best example.
