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)
想要一个人冷静冷静的时候看这部电影很合适，但是情绪不到位就是感觉很怪
2022.06.19观于逸兰。总感觉看过，又说不出是哪一步，大杂烩哈哈，挺逗的。
你信吗？
有诚意的剧本，基本能自圆其说，在国产里已经非常难得了
完全算得上一部合格的作品。每个故事都在说狐妖，其实整个故事都是人在作祟。道是鬼神也不恐怖，人心可怖，升米恩斗米仇。农夫与蛇，村民与谢家。胡子道义，官兵如匪，钱财买命。可怜可悲可叹。
特效和剧本在网大中属于比较出色的水平了，看得出来认真做的电影。
最后抱孩子抱起一团空气让人后怕，所以真的是有鬼？瞎子好心怜悯死去的孩子，所以鬼保他平安？
没看过原著，在不知因果的情况下，本应该抽丝剥茧呈现的秘密感动，变成了明知你痛我痛他痛但却无法为他们的脆弱流泪。主演三位真的演得好一般，丝丝的情绪流动和起伏总觉得不对，桃李这是发现夺奖路线的人设密码了？但最后摸嘴角番茄酱那里，对于只看电影的我来说，真的感到了不适。
天生悲观 也期待获得幸福
相当不错的电影，甚至不用加“网络”二字。多视角讲述一个故事，有逻辑有氛围，电影视听感强。怪志故事与现实人心融合的不错。当今大环境下想看鬼故事是不可能的，能拍成这样比很多院线电影都强。
我庆幸作为一部网络大电影能做到如此用心和出彩，我哀叹如此用心的电影却只能是一部网络电影。是不是认为我接下来会抨击电影制度？
我对国产恐怖片的故弄玄虚应激，一听到有人讲鬼故事还有那故意吓人的音效我就想一脚踹过去……不吹不黑，三星半，人性的表现给掌声，故事情节一般般，好人都死完了，剩下个没事吓唬人的瞎子，结局也是故弄玄虚真想一脚……还有男主真的太丑了
看着评分还可以来看的，整体有点割裂，前面灵异气息比较浓重，这种感觉后面就没有了。确实是有点《罗生门》的感觉，不过《罗生门》这部电影，我就不太喜欢，看得头疼，别说这个后来之作了。
被片名跟海报耽误的典型案例！故事还行，人心险恶连鬼狐也自愧弗如~
主演演技都蛮好的，细节也很到位，没看过原著，看之前搜了很多评论，负面占多。看完之后感觉没有那么糟糕。但是看的时候就一直害怕最后女主会被告知其实当年男主只是还没出手而已。回忆当年抹番茄酱那里，就有种果然如此一般的松口气。但是对现实而言这也算是极其幸运了。有些大尺度的镜头确实有点不适，但感觉也很符合男二的人物特征。水果刀我本来以为他会用来伤害女主，没想到他用来自残，我都替女主绝望。中看不敢看家暴戏，捂住了眼睛。
夏天的海边有冰淇淋口味的海风。如果你见到有人没有笑，那你就给他们一个微笑。
任何状况下，背后不说他人是非。如果必须要你说，说好话。
行，不说我还忘了国内是不能出现真鬼的，难为编剧了
虽然反转能想到，跟恐怖片扯不上关系，把人性的贪婪与自私讲得很明白，剧情也很紧凑，一部网大电影质量好过了太多院线，必须给主创们点赞～
