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)
-最后女主哥哥也有变成怪物的趋势，但这变得也没啥期待感了，毕竟片子真的不太行。
电影的怪物很有趣，但是影片内涵不足，似乎讨论了儿童虐待问题，但是点到为止，没有展开，而且怪物的出现也与虐待没有什么本质联系。
总体看着制作精良，小演员演技也不错。结果发现中间的细节让人不知所措，比如死去很久的男人，胸腔都只剩一半了，但是剩下的半个胸肌还是坚强的隆起，这穿帮得太明显了吧；小演员最后阻挡女主角时的那个表情，不像是难过，反而像是面瘫。剧情的中规中矩倒是从头到尾没变过。
-怪物有点帅，但是故事却不咋地。
最后一段，看的连呼无语。亲哥快死了不管，不立刻叫救护车非得先救小孩。非把亲哥带到作死地点以后再叫救护车，然后单枪匹马地就去了，我就想女主心里没点数？哪来的勇气啊？哦，原来勇气不是梁静茹给的，是主角光环给的。毕竟凶猛无比的大怪物被女主几下留给戳死了。最后亲哥也变异了。只能说编剧是真恨亲哥啊，非把他弄死不可。
浪费了这么好的设定，匆匆讲完了一个没讲完的故事……
已经尽力，这肃杀冷冽的氛围营造地很不错了，就是这个故事还是烂尾了，还是太赶了。这种质感要是能稍微再延长一点拍成电视剧，说不定能成为第二个鬼入侵。
整体的基调也是慢悠悠的，看着就很想睡觉，最后女老师大战boss也是有点离谱。
叹气，可惜了，浪费了好概念，浪费了好演员，浪费了Keri Russell
为什么今年欧美的“恐怖片”都在搞育儿啊？？？？这是什么潮流？？？！！！！！那果然还是亚洲恐怖片灵媒好多了，至少那家的女儿已经工作了……
叹气，可惜了，浪费了好概念，浪费了好演员，浪费了Keri Russell
及格吧 小男孩演的不错 在大人面前毫不逊色
1425【谷阿莫】這種長著鹿角的巨型怪物，喜歡寄生在人類體內，再狂嗑生肉來撐爆人體2021《鹿角》#暖冬电影季##金牌解说#
题材不错，画风也比较喜欢就是太暗了，这个剧情和运镜哦...
警长为啥还不死？？？ 浪费鹿魔那么认真的形象设计
前期氛围有多好，后面就有多拉胯，最后女主的强行作死和怪物的渣滓战斗力真是相得益彰，这故事就是典型想到了开头没想好结尾
第三幕完全垮掉了，不止烂俗而且处理的异常随意。前面的双线叙事处理的尚可，一边是逐渐揭开谜底的限制性叙事，该有的氛围是做到了，另一边则是对观众的全知视点展示，戏剧反讽的张力也有，反而是结尾最常见的“异形”与人的冲突处理的最为失败。5.5/10
剧情都是套路，没有任何起伏意外，过分单一，就是很平庸的一部惊悚片。
看预告的时候都没想到这部会撞上恐怖片大年，原著很短，对这种在氛围和怪物造型上突出的恐怖片应该说是挺友好，结尾的处理我还是更喜欢黑森灵这种不强行灭怪的形式
PNW的天气，灯光，音乐，把气氛烘托得完美。剧情肯定经不起推敲，看着玩儿
