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)
蛾子怪怪吓人的，美国人也信各种邪神，女主意志顽强最后看似喜欢上和蛾子呆一起了，有点担心她黑化，不过难民无身份证的状态也好不到哪去。
电影节奏我非常满意，为什么安琪拉会这样？可能应了女主的话口罩带多了就会这样xswl
好惊艳啊，尺度也大，10多分钟后一路刺激到结尾。女主绝对是个狠人，片尾rap再加一星！
断断续续看完了，大意就是只要给那个怪物上供，自己就会获得能量，前提是被上供的那个人意志力薄弱。节奏太慢了，还以为是梦魇一类的，结果最后怪物才出场，两星，怪物造型加一星。
感觉抛去题材和背景设定(完全都没说)，讲的是心理学里控制与受控的关系。
以低成本的电影来说，这部真的不差，故事也很好
三星半，怪物造型给半分，中规中矩，略有小惊喜。
头也太晕了…but灵媒差就差在这里了…（白左女真的很可怕，比邪灵还可怕
圣诞季电影又可以多一部了，Luke是很帅，但是我觉得Nike的纹身更棒🤣 @2022-02-12 18:53:22
女主满足了所有白左的特点：说话声音大，话密，体力好，嗑药，爱直播和不戴口罩（滑稽）
本质上是非常单纯的血浆片，女主全程抽大了的状态演得不错哦，但是这个拍摄形式我个人是不太行，第一我太晕了，第二这个除了沉浸感，我真的看不太懂在发生什么。但这个的片尾彩蛋，历史最佳好吧，，把剧情全剪了给我这个彩蛋，我能看 90 分钟
怎么做到的运镜氛围场景都不错，甚至怪物也有意思，但剧情就是稀巴烂呢？啥都掺一脚显得格外四不像

我还等着看女主惨死呢，结果反杀了，这是我看过最烂的结局，如果你在恐怖片里设计一个特别气人的主角最后还没杀掉她解气，那你设计干嘛
前面十多分钟有点无聊，但是十多分钟左右正片才开始，还不错，恶心大尺度，满嘴脏话，不知道小女孩是被邪教搞了什么鬼
有成万的美金，居然还要偷渡到美国，黑人同事三言两语骗钱，杀了这么多女生，以为只收女生祭品，原来男的也收。全场唯一的亮点就是怪物的设计
鬼灵关上了她所有的门和窗给她留了一个石洞，落魄女反客为主成了诡屋的新主人。
【B+】节奏紧凑，将录像、直播的形式发挥得较好，后半段异常生猛的展开看得我目瞪口呆，结尾的演职人员表也是如此不走寻常路。PS.右边的弹幕出现了几次爱看热闹的中国人。后面还出现了一个叫WTF的车牌，看来导演自己也知道拍的是什么。
就算是伪纪录片也不能晃的啥也不是吧，主角真欠揍……但片尾曲挺有新意
三分给颜值 扣一分给男主的sb小辈 强凑CP还硬要别人在一起 真的无语又三八(¯―¯٥)
