8-ban Deguchi plot

A man gets lost in an underground passage in a subway station. In order to get out, he must find a specific exit, but the passage seems to loop endlessly. The search also seems to have a rule: if he encounters anything unusual, he must return immediately. Will he ever reach his goal and escape?

Stylish video.

The premise of this cyclical mindfuck is that our lost protagonist becomes trapped in an underground subway tunnel system. He will keep ending up at the same point until he discovers an anomaly in his surroundings. The solution seems simple: if there are no anomalies, he should continue on his way, but if there is anything at all, he should turn back. The instructions promise that he will eventually reach Exit 8, where he can exit the maze.

Be prepared for a lot of repetition (one specific sound effect in particular will reverberate for a while), but the film manages to present the story in such an empathetic way that you, the viewer, are cleverly drawn into the puzzling experience of the main character, a more than excellent role by Kazunari Ninomiya (whose voice apparently sang Kuro/Black in Tekkonkinkreet / Tekkon Kinkurîto (2006)).

A camera that patiently travels with and around our protagonist; a clinically designed setting that complements the chilling, cold sound effects; a dramatic subtext that manages to infuse the meandering path with emotion in a rather unforced manner, and a handful of surprises along the way that give the film a pleasantly unsettling feel: these are the main ingredients for a film that never really colors outside the lines, but effortlessly holds your attention and skillfully avoids boredom, something that, considering the concept and the running time (quite long for an idea like this), can be considered a considerable compliment.

The real punch is lacking, and the horror label will leave some a bit disappointed, but for fans of a small-scale yet skillfully crafted mystery, this is definitely a treat. 4*
