decision, decision, decisions.
exit 8 is probably the best film i've seen this year, its a film that limitates us and forces us to examine every little detail and how significant they truly are. every choice we make matters and when we end up making the wrong one we gradually become stuck in an endless cycle of our own making.
i haven't played the game but this is probably one of the best video game adaptations i've ever seen. im happy it broke my streak of bad luck in theaters.

A man trapped in an 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.

Will he ever reach his goal and escape this infinite corridor?

A hypnotic descent into a bleached subway underworld where every detail demands scrutiny and the line between reality and compulsion blurs. Watching it feels like being trapped in someone else's spiraling anxiety.
