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)
5.6怎么拍的，这居然和我想的一毛一样，氛围感不错，但还是烂俗恐怖片。
Emmmmm……就很催眠。这怪兽尼玛菜的抠脚，我感觉我都能打死他。
节奏太慢了，没有高潮，结束的又太快，不过这个导演的电影质感一向不错
「温迪戈」这个民俗题材中当前表现最好的还是「直到黎明」这个B级片互动游戏
好喜欢这种冷色调，群山环绕，雾蒙蒙，旷野森林的环境。克苏鲁式的恐怖片，开始还挺有想象空间，但是boss太渣了。小男孩的演技很好。但是这种恐怖片有个通病，就是明知危险偏向虎山行，而且还是手无寸铁。前一秒怂的要死，后一秒直接冲！！！！
有点不伦不类了，要说邪教就彻底点，要怪物就别扯宗教。
一个神话传说。我希望我们能拍更多这样的故事，山海经来一遍。
想到斯蒂芬金的一个短篇小说，一个小男孩的父亲喝了啤酒之后的变异故事
女主既是负责的班主任也是女武神，小男主恨惹人怜
期待第二部！！！
四星给小男孩，他爹有他真的是福气！都那样了还契而不舍的坚持给爸爸弟弟找吃的。话说小浣熊好像有点小，不够爸爸吃吧…爸爸也是好样的，坚持不吃孩子…
陀螺就是出了几张原画吧...可惜还是撑不起来...
神怪类恐怖片经典模板式剧情，教科书般的cliché包括但不限于：永远看不清怪物真身的昏暗冷色调画面、永远背负家庭创伤/经历校园暴力的主角、永远选择落单行动的铁头炮灰配角、永远不能干净利落HE的结局。不过尽管是流水线产物，而且还把Wendigo传说改成了传染性病毒设定，但至少道具、特效和storytelling完成度不错，作为工作日晚上的消遣尚算合格。
沉闷到jump scary都不能让人提起精神。它的感觉就像看别人玩游戏，不是自己玩，乐趣少一半。
黑糊糊的镜头减弱了血腥感，鹿角人脸怪兽有点想法，但跟环保扯上关系太刻意。女主比男人还猛的人设略夸张。
剧情都是套路，没有任何起伏意外，过分单一，就是很平庸的一部惊悚片。
从头到尾黑乎乎的，故事也是没头没尾，女教师又蠢又多管闲事好讨厌，最后怪物被灭得莫名其妙，白白浪费我四张观影券。
很平淡的一部恐怖片，鹿角怪的设计本身挺不错的，但是结局也太潦草吧，这个怪战斗力不太行啊女主一个人就能把它手撕了……要说亮点的话，小男孩的表现确实可圈可点
导演是宫崎英高的粉丝么？？
emmm…导演应该感谢他的摄影师，起码把氛围渲染出来了，制作成本一定很低。
