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)
就，普普通通恐怖片，有几个突然出现的镜头符合我的口味
塞时间用，不能强求。但还是想说一句，难看。
很离谱的展开。有一些好笑的逻辑。但是不吓人。
驱魔片的主次对调，恶魔直接附身于上帝之上，不过更推荐《幽冥》里的 科技驱魔
感觉还不错，讽刺的特别到位，恶魔确实在掌管人间……

明显味道很浓，编的不落俗套。完全可以一看，属于合格以上的恐怖片了
我不想看懂，作为恐怖片是十分的不好看！整个电影的节奏稀碎。后面是丧尸吗？干啥呢那是，比谁嗓门儿大嘛吗？
故事没啥意思 最后反向驱魔有点讽刺 善恶一体
做为一个曾经虔诚的基督徒来说 这种驱魔的片子真的震撼到不行 那种真实和恐惧弥漫着整个身体 He just trying to scare you ! 魔鬼知道我们每个人的弱点 然后进入我们 迷惑我们 然后控制我们 以宗教的视角 我们几乎每个人都会变成最后那个把上帝移除我们身体的那个被迷惑而make a deal 的罪人 人间真的是一个试炼场
一部生猛+香艳的驱魔电影，一反常态驱魔的慢节奏，搞了个快节奏的驱魔仪式。最后恶魔驱逐上帝的创意不错，不过拍得有点差劲。7分
别开生面的神魔battle,谁嗓门大谁赢。
救命 一个巨老套的爱情故事拍的巨tm甜 男女主的化学反应真不是盖的 剧情俗套但是俩人拌嘴好好磕！！！
男主好好帅！！！身材绝了卧槽。我也想要这样的男人(ToT)/~~~
as cringy as the book lol
让我这个无宗教信仰的人都惊掉下巴！
从恐怖片的角度看，有几处的惊吓程度算是及格的﹉
脑洞可以，还可以反向驱魔即驱神，魔鬼也学了新技能。这么难搞，早就应该请温家双煞过来了。
创意这块给五星，点子很多好好拍多个半小时能更好，逻辑也说的通，不同于其他驱魔片，很不错，看出诚意，结局也是没有想到，一念上帝，一念魔鬼.
驅魔驅了個寂寞...超超超超級無敵難看！故事敘述的很差，完全沒有什麼內容，從頭到尾都是，牧師跟惡魔的較量（？沒有什麼可看性。
