NYT Critic’s Pick! “Exit 8 is a pip and as fun to watch as it is to mull over.” (New York Times)

“gives video game adaptations a good name. Genki Kawamura’s excellent adaptation of The Exit 8 mines a simple concept for shock and substance” (The Wrap)

“It’s a devilishly entertaining time at the movies, building to an exhilarating finale” (IndieWire)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!

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. 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?
