Michael Hanake meets the Blair Witch Project in Kim Gok's Exhausted, a vicious kick in the pants to everyone in the audience, all in the name of "style." A man meets a mute woman, and as any reasonable person would do in such a situation, makes her his prostitute. But the pimping is the least of our problems. As we get exhausted by the grainy faux-16mm camerawork, the film gets increasingly deranged. The closest thing we get to a sympathetic character is the pimp, simply because he's got too much self-respect to fuck a mute whore. Everyone else is either a gory mess, or a gory mess in disguise. Even the prostitute, which even a thug like Lars von Trier would make likeable, comes off as a delirious scary woman whose shrieks strike like blows to the jugular.
Kim Gok has seemingly abandoned the Marxist critiques of his short films, going instead for mindless brutality which culminates in an endless bloody freak-show involving, among other things, a pair of scissors going where pairs of scissors should not go. In the middle of the bloodbath, we get an extended long take of the beaten prostitute's near-dead face, but it does not elicit sympathy or pity. In fact, images of the victim only make us shy away in shock. (Indeed, the extended sequence led to continuous walk-outs during the Pusan screening.) The long take invites us to stare, but it assumes we're as sadistic as the victimizer (and the film) is. Meanwhile the sound-effects (mostly a rumbling bassline that shakes the theater) pulsates with pure wickedness. With Hanake, shock creates reflection, which asks that we be critical. Here, we only want to escape. I suppose Exhausted has some virtues; the shots of drilling machines and factories provide a mesmerizing phallic backdrop to the pimp and prostitute's pursuits. But everything else hurts too much. At least Kim Ki-duk lets us breathe. Exhausted makes Bad Guy look like Lady and the Tramp. (asiaarts.ucla.edu)
女主这个战斗力和生命力干点什么不好 非要搞直播 ！
怪物通过两兄弟租出一幢房子，找献祭的女子，女主没有被控制，最后应该是被黑化了吧，一般般
4.5星，不搞什么奇技淫巧，低级说教，就老老实实拍传统恐怖片，功底扎实，铺垫较长，不过有回本，女主角演出能让人入戏，石箱，通道和邪神设计挺sick
好烂啊 前三分之二都不知道在铺垫什么 最后高潮部分也挺拉垮的 等到好不容易变得有意思了它又完了。
女主角真是见了鬼了！！五花大绑怪物，还不忘抽根烟！
前面墨迹了一点，总是梦境里吓人，后来还行，起码挺有逻辑
节奏慢到中途离开n次都能接上……逻辑也不太通……怪物的造型到还行
Best credits I've ever seen
看了全片 这么好的怪物设定居然没有展开而且献祭之后看起来只有治愈效果有点鸡肋啊
这种电影人就看个恶心，你把怪物放到最后，前边看的我都无聊死了。。。还好最后有一点精彩
人类=混乱邪恶 魔鬼=守序邪恶 总之 魔鬼就不行
average，average，average，大概是打发时间也要带着嫌弃脸看完的程度
还ok吧，这种伪记录的恐怖片也交代不出来太多前因后果，更何况从始至终也没出现过几个人，一些政治指向的言论不做评价，ok，谁想一直戴着口罩啊。
前面一惊一乍的节奏有点慢，后边比较刺激，故事也交代的比较清楚
故事马马虎虎，捆疯女人那段太突兀了太粗糙了，最后怪物的那段太抖了，看了个寂寞，你拍的伪纪录片也不带这样啊。最后的即兴说唱太恶俗了，这女主是真的恶心。
怪物造型实属罕见，又丑但是又很难让人不看它。
还可以，就是感觉剧情没有跌宕起伏的感觉，有点意料之中
扒哥真是个好人，但是往往好人不长命，祸害遗千年（指女主）
尽管只有80分钟，但仍如坐针毡。节奏较慢，故事平淡，也不吓人，尺度不大，成本较低。拍成短片比较合适。
女主太腻歪人了，最后竟然没die，否则还能多给一星。伪记录恐怖片总是让人充满期待。
