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)
某一天要为自己挺身而出，那一天就是今天。这应该讲述一个男孩的突破与成长的故事。对复古怀旧的应用有怪奇物语的味道。缺点挺明显完全不恐怖，应该增加恐怖元素，反派无魅力，纯变态，很多超自然的现象都没有解释，可能只是男孩的心理挣扎。
妹妹靠梦境一遍遍寻找藏匿处，哥哥靠电话一通通汇聚能量。
6.5分。斯科特·德里克森的恐怖片我一直不是很能Get到点，说是只有JS吧氛围铺垫的还不错，业务能力不错。但是说好感觉又有点食之无味。加之这次有别的社会议题的隐喻恐怖桥段就更少，更有点看不下去了……而且隐约感觉这个故事体量感觉撑不起这么长的电影。不过伊桑·霍克的表演看的还是很舒服，至少比在《月光骑士》里当背景板要好。
… … 無聊 有一種原著小說應該比這要精彩的感覺 「腦袋裡能想像出情節文字化的閱讀體驗 然後放在影片視覺裡，頓時就寡淡了呢」
原著小说作者Joe Hill，怪不得有点斯蒂芬金的味道。而且有点《怪奇物语》的感觉，男主妹妹像怪奇里的max
“总有一天，你得站出来保护自己。”
3.0/这么肤浅的角色怎么配得上Ethan
虽然剧本完成度比较高，但还是有点失望。本来以为是恐怖片，结果只是奇幻悬疑的儿童成长电影。成片更像是靠场外求助完成密室逃脱的真人秀，穿插参赛选手家庭背景介绍，游戏结束还有亲友团拥抱环节
小男孩被囚禁在地下室，用电话贯土勒死绑匪逃出生天
现在孩子们爱看这样的青春奇幻成长励志剧？ 爸爸因为妈妈自杀了而痛揍也展现遗传母亲预言能力的女儿？（当然除了铺垫悬疑最后对剧情几乎无用）孤勇小学生借助鬼来电勇斗连环变态杀手？（过于黑暗 只有最后爽一小会儿 坏人也坏的非常突兀莫名其妙）
小正太很帅，剧情紧凑，悬念和惊悚感都很不错，以少年的视角去解读，真是又酷又有趣。还有那个勇敢和可爱的妹妹也很加分，兄妹俩都太招人喜欢了。
前半部分还是惊悚悬疑罪案
故弄玄虚半天，结果两三下就解决问题 反派弱智得不行 以为是恐怖片 结果是搞笑片
额，有点jump scare之类的低幼吓人方式，很无聊的说。。电话的设定其实也是迎合剧情而强行设定，没有任何原因解释。两颗心全给可爱的小女孩啦
出乎意料的好看，两位小主人的性格都很喜欢。特别是小妹妹，哇哈哈哈，太能骂人，打人是直接拿石块，太可爱😆
这部电影告诉我们注重体育运动的重要性，小男孩平时打棒球让他有了强大的臂力，在关键时刻救了他
故事简单但剧情绝不简单，看得我提心吊胆，结局绝对比博燃，不错。另外，超喜欢小姑娘，真飒
究极密室大逃脱
情节紧张，很重视细节，几乎都能衔接上，合格的惊悚片……
但这个片子的调调很对胃口。
