Exit 8

I know, at first, this does not seem like a similar movie but it oddly is:

Similarities:
-Both films are about a man running away from his responsibility of possibly becoming a father.
-Both men are trapped in an unusual maze full of anomalies that do not make sense, and they must follow a set of rules to escape.
-Both men are on the phone with their partner before the horror begins
-Both men must help a child, which might be the only way to escape
-Both men are forced to confront their situation to move forward
-Both are effective horror films
Differences:
-Location: Exit 8 is set in a Subway Station. Hansel and Gretal is set in the woods.
-The Children: Exit 8: the child is adorable and precious. Hansel and Gretal: the children are the villains despite their terrible past aka. the anti-heroes.
-The Setting: Exit 8 is modern, existential dread, while Hansel and Gretal is told like a fable/fairytale.
-Spoiler: One man escapes; the other does not. Will not spoil which one tho, you gotta watch both films to find out.
I think both films would be a GREAT double feature and make an interesting nightmare combo!!

If you liked Exit 8, you absolutely need to watch Alice in Borderland. Both give you that unsettling feeling of being trapped in a strange world where you don't know the rules, and every little detail could be important. While Exit 8 focuses on spotting anomalies and making the right choices, Alice in Borderland takes that concept much further with deadly games, hidden clues, psychological challenges, and constant uncertainty. You’ll find yourself questioning everything, trying to solve the games before the characters do, and wondering what is actually happening. It’s basically Exit 8, but bigger, darker, and far more addictive.
