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)
执行上可以给5星，相当respect。但这个剧情和整体的观影感受....可能过于edgy了吧，不喜欢。
我害怕鬼 但鬼未伤我分毫 我不害怕人 但人把我伤的遍体鳞伤
诡怪凶猛的话痨疯婊之夜，吐一手唾沫一巴掌扇过去才是绝佳清醒解药，比同类型《致命录像带》有趣。唱完（骂）片尾名单真不赖！
盒子怪还真是来者不拒啊，上了桌子的都咔咔的，别说腿横担起来还挺销魂。献祭梗揭开没有反转便进入剧情的垃圾时间，节奏还不错
https://kin.itmresources.com/archives/2592 | Annie Hardy YOU fucking ROOOOOOOOCKs the cityyyyyyyyyyy!!!! | gee——这片怎么又搞笑又好看啊救命 给被撞死的新娘披上反对自由党真是笑死我xx 后面俩难兄难妹为了解压(?)想一堆烂七八糟的对子简直让rhyme人狂喜xxxxxxxxxxx 血腥镜头也好赞 我太爱了

glitch hop lets rap that shit!
英国恐怖片可能只能以恶心和重口来修饰表面了……
这是我看过最疯的女主，这也是我看过最晃的的伪纪录片!
想要看一部娱乐当下的恐怖片，它会是不错的选择。尽管伪纪录片和神秘学题材不算新鲜，整部电影还是很有意思。新形式、亚文化和疫情背景加持，这部是怎么做到无厘头又充满惊吓点的，还那么自然！喜欢紧张气氛中的freestyle、A妹纹身和一巴掌callback，主演女真是魔怔自信又从容（哈哈），也喜欢其中的恐怖要素，血浆视觉冲击、闪现鬼影、废弃游乐园和尾声的邪教仪式集体自杀。在这超短的70分钟里，战神魔怔主播勇斗恶鬼、垃圾话弹幕、论坛亚文化要素过多...结果连演员本身也找得太妙了，片尾彩蛋，乐
最终外星BOSS那么恐怖的身躯却需在精神层面上的无所畏惧!而这个无所畏惧的女人却无法好好的在这个社会生活! 女权或者是隐喻？ 底层人民的挣扎！
最后的片尾饶舌即兴感很强，很不错！太赞了！
结局可以，反杀，痛快。前面铺垫太长，节奏有点儿慢。
真顶不住，一惊一乍的；老太婆比怪物吓人多了；女主这个end credit加分
女主开头的freestyle诉出了我的心声
1387【谷阿莫】這神秘石箱住著一隻擁有人臉和四隻手的怪物，下體甚至還有一口噁心大嘴…
什么究极垃圾烂片，片子节奏掌握一看就是业余的，进度条过半还是搞不明白定位是野外杀人狂还是邪教丧尸，本来30分钟可以讲完的故事非要拉成1小时，换来的是极度不了解定位的低配鬼影实录（鬼影实录起码还有多个视角，这就是大火伪纪录片的聪明之处，而这部片显然不是。）
6.5分，在有限资源下的创意迸发值得赞赏。
不太明白为啥一直看到自己死去妈妈，这是啥寓意
