Exam is the kind of film Alfred Hitchcock would’ve made were he still alive. The minimalist set-up sees the action take place exclusively within the walls of an examination room, where eight candidates compete for a job they know nothing about. The rules are simple: they must not spoil their papers, talk to the armed guard by the door, or leave the room for any reason. Then the paranoia kicks in… Stuart Hazeldine keeps the suspense high by having his dysfunctional ensemble suspect, taunt and attack each other through eighty minutes of tense drama. The ending’s a massive letdown, though.3/5
