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)

传统老配方了 讽刺是讽刺了 但恐怖的方式还是跟之前的解除好友系列大差不差 图一乐一般般吧
最后直播弹幕是ending credits
luke不要给我谢谢
女主字面上的坏，这部片子充斥着重口味跟三观不正，最后女主演将所有人绕成歌唱的一遍，还挺创意的
"We did the world a favor, getting rid of our dad."
average，average，average，大概是打发时间也要带着嫌弃脸看完的程度
没怎么看懂，也就那个怪物感觉不错，视觉效果震撼。
太飞了 年度wtf片儿 感谢梵顿带来的资源
魔鬼只能对善良的人下手而已，特别针对信任的人进行剥削，黑人女&厂老板本质都跟魔鬼立场是一致的。
It’s unlikely to happen in the real world
无礼当个性，粗俗视为酷，女主这么婊竟然都没被有灵异能力的丧尸杀死。
恐怖的是人性的冷漠。現在的鬼片都喜歡加上宗教元素來製造懸疑。
还可以，就是感觉剧情没有跌宕起伏的感觉，有点意料之中
女主角讨人厌得挺可爱，不用带着巨大预设去看，其实也就是年轻版karen，长得甚至还蛮可爱的
片子挺好，算是有头有尾，后面算是把反派的来由也说清了。扣一星主要是最后的恶魔太菜了，献祭了这么多人，还以为它爬出来是献祭够了可以在这边现形了（在水下的车里也受了重伤都没爬出来），结果威力就比普通人大点，附身的时候力量强会念力，结果出来就是个寄生虫。
扒哥真是个好人，但是往往好人不长命，祸害遗千年（指女主）
小安呐，给巫女整个活！
前面看着觉得还可以，氛围营造的比较细腻，但随着故事的发展就觉得有点烦了，很多地方逻辑也不太通顺，看到最后对这个结尾也挺失望，感觉闷了口气在胸口，影片结束也没能释放。怪物造型不错，也就仅此而已吧。
唯一的记忆点是it’s not a rainy day it’s a snowy day 圣诞节看还挺有氛围的 以及男二真的好帅呜呜呜 是个人会不选他吗哈哈哈
