Neon has released a poster for the Exit 8, providing a chance to turn back before entering the liminal subway station in tomorrow’s trailer.
The Japanese psychological horror thriller opens in theaters nationwide on April 10.
Based on the popular video game created by Kotake Create, the film follows a man trapped in an endless sterile subway passageway as he 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?
Your Name. producer Kawamura Genki directs from a script he co-wrote with Kentaro Hirase.
Kazunari Ninomiya (Letters from Iwo Jima) stars with Yamato Kôchi, Naru Asanuma, Kotone Hanase, and Nana Komatsu (Silence).
Kenji Yamada (Godzilla Minus One), Yuto Sakata, Akito Yamamoto, and Taichi Ito produce.
Exit 8 premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, receiving an 8-minute standing ovation. It went on to play the Toronto International Film Festival, Sitges Film Festival, Beyond Fest, Busan International Film Festival, and International Film Festival Rotterdam.
The movie was a hit in its native Japan, grossing over $27 million upon its release last fall.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review out of TIFF, “The true magic of Exit 8 lies with its impressive ability to recreate the feeling of playing a game, as you find yourself scouring the walls, floors, and ceilings of a cosmic backroom hallway to assist the Lost Man in his search for anomalies.”
