Japanese with English subtitles
A man trapped in a endless sterile subway passageway sets out to find Exit 8. The rules of his quest are simple: do not overlook anything out of the ordinary. If you discover an anomaly, turn back immediately. If you don’t, carry on. Then leave from Exit 8. But even a single oversight will send him back to the beginning. Will he ever reach his goal and escape this infinite corridor?
"You enter this unlikely, but undeniably extraordinary take on a video game ready to be spooked. You exit it with the sensation that you’ve just witnessed a waking nightmare perfect for Tokyo commuters and Brooklyn sad dads alike." - David Fear, Rolling Stones
"The movie, which runs ninety-five minutes, is sleek and precise, but, compared with the economy of the source, it’s almost a maximalist affair." - Justin Cheng, The New Yorker
"With its bed made just so, “Exit 8” has a refreshing ambition: It wants to be both a purgatory and an advancement in form. When it smoothly moves between the two, it feels like a singular commentary on life’s deceptive banalities." - Robert Abele, The Los Angeles Times
Tickets $12 ($11.40 at the door if available)
