Liminal Horror ‘Exit 8’ Gets Trapped on Digital This Week
Enter a liminal nightmare when Exit 8 hits Digital this Friday, May 8, via Neon.
Based on the video game created by Kotake Create, the psychological horror thriller 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?
Kazunari Ninomiya (Letters from Iwo Jima) stars with Yamato Kôchi, Naru Asanuma, Kotone Hanase, and Nana Komatsu (Silence).
Your Name producer Kawamura Genki directs from a script he co-wrote with Kentaro Hirase. Kenji Yamada (Godzilla Minus One), Yuto Sakata, Akito Yamamoto, and Taichi Ito produce.
Exit 8 premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival and went on to play the Toronto International Film Festival, Sitges Film Festival, Beyond Fest, Busan International Film Festival, International Film Festival Rotterdam, and Overlook Film Festival.
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.”
Exit 8 is rated PG-13 for “some bloody images and terror.”
After releasing in theaters last month, NEON announced today that horror romance Leviticus will arrive on digital platforms to rent or own beginning July 28, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on September 8, 2026.
Leviticus marks the feature debut by writer/director Adrian Chiarella.
Joe Bird (Talk to Me) and Stacy Clausen play star-crossed teenage boys who must escape a violent entity that takes the form of the person they desire most — each other.
Mia Wasikowska (Crimson Peak), Jeremy Blewitt, Ewen Leslie (The Nightingale), and Davida McKenzie (Silent Night) round out the cast of horror movie Leviticus.
“Leviticus is a strong debut with an incisive voice at the helm,” I wrote in my review out of Sundance. “We care deeply about Naim and Ryan’s survival, making Leviticus a tense, atmospheric, and claustrophobic vision of young love in a hateful world.”
“Leviticus is the perfect title for writer-director Adrian Chiarella‘s powerful feature debut,” Meagan’s review explains, “a searing anthem against the corrosive nature of fear and bigotry.”
The physical media release comes packed with exclusive bonus features, the home entertainment release includes a feature commentary with Adrian Chiarella, interviews with Chiarella, Stacy Clausen, and Joe Bird, an exclusive behind-the-scenes featurette, and the official trailer.
Look for Leviticus on Digital next week, and check out the box art for September’s Blu-ray release this September.
