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)
温子仁 总能把一部看起来是烂片 并且看不明白的玩意 在最后通过真相连接起来 就像蝴蝶效应一样 他的罗辑思维真的是强大 我只能说 虽然不认识女主 但她演的是真的好 特别是反过来行动的时候 温子仁总是跟孕妇过不去 电锯是大嫂流产 死寂是媳妇直接没了 招魂也是孩子 这个又是 他是通过什么才认识到一个母亲的强大力量的！！！而且还专门给母亲留了bgm！！！以前只想过精神分裂 温子仁把恐惧最大化直接寄生！不可否认的是 恶魔是存在的！人也是可以战胜他的！真棒 温式恐怖bgm和故事
虽然最后的反派挺带感的，但是反转之前的剧情真的除了镜头外没有什么亮点，温子仁老婆的点子，温子仁就当做玩票之作拍了电影，海王2可不能这样轻易对待啊。
恐怖怪才变行活大师。这身手估摸得让隔壁厅尚气来治。
7/10 警局百人斩的调度太棒了，其余一般
铅黄电影在新世代的一次完美重生，这是献给亚类型电影爱好者的一道大餐，所以讨论删减血腥片段影不影响故事理解没有任何意义，讨论情节有没有逻辑硬伤、主角人设有没有科学依据也是更是没事找事，看守所和警局那两段才是全片的存在意义。必须说温子仁是恐怖片导演里最会拍打戏的，也是动作片导演里最会拍鬼戏的。
《福尔摩斯之脑中的声音》
前面也就是温子仁拿手的氛围塑造，音效和各种异动，如果习惯了他的风格还是并不觉得恐怖。不过后面谜题的释出还是很不温子仁的，加百列这种一体双生的形象真的是属于身体上能给出的恐怖形象。警局的大屠杀我直喊卧槽，太血腥，太cult了。总体来说还是非常好的商业片，看得过瘾。8/10
特效运用自如，大量镜头和转场十分有创意，惊艳。
剧情其实有些俗套了，尤其是到了后面大段的动作戏，很容易串台到月光光心慌慌那类虐杀型恐怖片。前面的剧情有些碎，后面展开了就还好但也很俗套...没办法，我是真的很爱欧美虐杀片。
我一直以为是精神分裂、多重人格。没想到不仅精神上独立，肉体上也实现了部分独立。
后悔没有看未删减版，而是花了6块去了爱奇艺
更多是悬疑片而不是恐怖片，一想到温子仁都这么成名了居然还只能拍这种低成本的B级片就心酸啊……因为够cult所以额外多加一颗星。
西雅图地下旧城。
再说一遍 周五晚上看恐怖悬疑片就是最爽的！！！！！
温哥出品，必属精品，但是温哥为了迎合中国市场二次剪辑的作品，必属残次品。
虽然，但是不影响这部成为年度最佳恐怖片。看得我肾上腺素左冲右突的，刺激
一体两面的设定略感新奇，但逻辑线不够柔顺，另外故事架构确乎有《冰雪奇缘》的影子，套用在恐怖故事片中也算别出心裁，集百家所长成一家之言也是一种故事创作方法
这……编剧太水了。不光设定非常好猜，创意全无，而且还不恐怖！角色们都不做正常人会做的事，我爸一路看一路笑。唯一的优点大概就是亚裔警察小哥还蛮帅的。
还是温子仁猛，这么老派的拍法竟然不显乏力，鬼屋+狂杀片爱好者将会得到双倍快乐。
把恐怖感削弱了
