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)
不要跟着念那八个字!
笑死，战狼看多了的温室花朵眼里怎么能容得下这种晦气东西呢
破魔主播的作死之旅，恶意之神的祝福（诅咒），家族传承的业障，密教邪典之无向辽东浪死歌妈妈再爱你一次，整体风格与《灵媒》、《昆池岩》、《真心话大冒险》、《午夜凶铃》、《死亡录像》、《女巫布莱尔》类似，惊悚程度上佳，降温效果不错。
导演一定是在致敬空手指和莲蓬乳。。。虽然早就猜到那个咒语是诅咒，但是看到最后还是挺心酸的，要是能让小孩诅咒减轻，其实也挺愿意帮他分担。。。。。个屁啊，要怪就怪你爸妈作大死
女主作死程度令人发指，以至于很难和最后和女儿的深情告白共情。恐怖程度就和灵媒、中邪差不多吧，噱头在于最后那个分摊，说实话挺无语的，搞这个吓唬谁呢？
这TM是什么鬼
你一样嘴硬着 那种孤勇
诅咒和祝福都可以被稀释。当女主让你跟着念咒语时，只要心里默念：永远跟着XX走，便可排除杂念专心抵咒
今天是大黑佛母的生日🎉🎉🎉观看点赞并转发本视频给六个群的人有好运，赢q币，国庆节不上班😻😻😻绝对不骗你，我已经试了哦🤩😝😝
实在是亚洲人会害怕的东西集大成了
0.5 / 笑疯了，怎么会有号称伪纪录的恐怖片调用这么无所不能的摄影机又这么不会控制节奏啊……要让迷信变得可信，就不能采取如此暴露的全知视角让观众感觉到被操控；要让情感变得真挚，那就不能剧本写得如此粗糙所有细节都让情节剧俗套来填充——在这两点上完全手足无措还装出一副自信满满的样子，就造就了这部影片那失败而傲慢的叙述者。这边建议跟我一起去《晴雅集》里念守护咒呢～
作为恐怖片挺成功的，这是一部和观众互动的恐怖片，女主在把观众引入和她身临同境的处境里，导演不过是把古早的“看到不转发到X个群就会XX”的梗融入到电影了。贯穿电影始终的那句让你跟着念的八字咒语“火佛修一，心萨呒哞”不过是「福祸相倚，生死有名」的闽南语谐音。看到评论区骂骂咧咧的大伙儿，感慨在唯物主义无神论下长大的吾辈迷信起来竟是比封建社会的古人有过之而无不及！
动物园怪谈准则，不要让“它”知道你察觉了“它”的存在，影片在最初和中间也在时时告诫你，通过自身的意志决定走向，意志可以决定一切，但看到后面却还是觉得潜移默化间早已被祂影响，当结局揭晓的那一刻，感觉到还是被耍了。
还有，有些剧情真的很刻意，时间顺序也很乱，就无语
不要跟着念那八个字!
这么好看刺激的恐怖片打低分怎么想的，从头到尾喘不过气，特别是闽南地区出身看这些拜拜仪式简直是更毛骨悚然，演员表现都特别好，说实话故事有点抑郁，就是“无论如何也逃不出无法被救赎”的设定，真的吓死我了今晚估计睡不着了….
气死我了，果真晦气，就是QQ群里不转发就死全家那种晦气
此片如果低于8分，我们这届网友都有责任！弯弯加油，你们那里没有唐山
谢谢，有被吓到！算是恐怖片元素大杂烩，但背景放在中国，代入感一下就强了很多，上一次有这种恐惧感的电影是《中邪》，果然邪教题材最上头。
古老的咒术神灵信仰，脱身于原始人类对自然的惊恐，是一把极其锋利的刀，稍不小心就会割到自己满身是血。后来，人类的各种文明形式，子不语怪力乱神、普遍宗教、分析心理学，都是在试着一层层的包裹这锋利的刀刃。但这刀实在是太锋利了，一不小心就会露出来。这个片子一面依托着古老的精神，另一面又是互动时代的杰出产物，叙诡非常精妙
