The big theatrical streaming premiere of the weekend was Obsession, with Curry Barker’s beloved 2026 indie horror film dropping on Peacock. If you haven’t seen it, prepare for a truly incredible streaming experience.
Lost in the wake of the Obsession buzz was the streaming debut of Genki Kawamura’s Certified Fresh thriller Exit 8.
An adaptation of the 2023 video game, Exit 8 centers on a man (Kazunari Ninomiya) who’s trapped in an endless subway passageway as he sets out to find… you guessed it… Exit 8. Per the official synopsis: “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?”
The film boasts a 92% Tomatometer score, with John Serba calling it a “rock-solid experiment in form that deserves a slice of the acclaim Backrooms has been getting.”
