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)
X.2022.2022.2160p.WEB-DL.x265.10bit.SDR.DDP5.1.Atmos-NOGRP 直接看后半段吧，片中的老人很恶心
女主这种傻逼真就靠主角光环活到了最后啊……小电影套排小电影～
前2/5巨棒 导演贼会拍电影 绝非简单的恐怖类型片
女主还蛮好看（可爱）哒；为什么迫害黑白牛牛！！比起血浆，衰老才是最恐怖的。
关爱老年人性生活教育片？？？挺无聊的，不过有一段一半是年轻人弹吉他唱歌，一半是老太婆顾影自怜感叹时光易逝，有点浪漫有点唏嘘，所以加一星。
是我没有耐心吗？觉得无聊…心里想 怎么还不杀人…我不喜欢特效老年人 很扯 两个人走路颤颤巍巍地老人干掉那么多人？女主也搞笑，老年团床上运动时，难道不该解决一下两个人，然后爱干嘛干嘛吗……
PS Brittany Snow 唱的 Landslide，竟然从恐怖片里有这么一段温柔的歌曲。
【C】导演有很多想法，想表达的东西多少也能get到一些，但文本层面上的东西实在是太匮乏，整个故事的推动比漫威还要更模式化，漫威至少对角色塑造有自己的一套方法，但这里面所有角色都像在讲着既定的台词然后生硬的推着这个观众都明白会发生什么的故事机械式的往前走。
一星是风景好看和画质有种胶片的感觉
一个jump scare吓到了，突然插眼睛恐怖得很，然后穿了喜剧元素，有点好笑。前面的转场镜头很棒，很多致敬经典镜头～
好看，喜欢，这么流畅的虐杀片如今是越来越少见了，结尾也是神来之笔，再加上A24的神叨风格以及导演对于复古剥削片的致敬，我觉得是近期少有的优秀恐怖片了！
复古做的挺好的，虽然剧情单薄但是很喜欢。当我年老没有性生活时的真实写照。
铅黄电影的味道还挺对的，就是这个内容……拍个小黄片把你们刺激成这样，至于的嘛……

为啥是《德州电锯杀人狂》呢？缇威斯特不是个擅于解构的作者，本片对他而言似乎...太复杂了，在导演对素材的渴望下影像因之显得无比愚蠢
用惊魂记搭起剧作框架真是太有趣了，挖掘性作为恐怖的核心点也挺好，就是音乐太喧宾夺主了，好几处都是幽暗女声把我差点送走。
6.2 传统剥削片的表象作为类型的外壳，更多的是意在解构恐怖电影并赋予角色a second identity，不断地运用平行剪辑乃至分屏来达成两者的反差，可惜有想法但缺乏执行力，对于欲望的探讨也是浅尝辄止，就像片中的情色片那样卡在了porno和indie之间的尴尬境地。

死亡和老去哪个更恐怖？我想电影导演是要说后者。而孤独地老去和老去后无处安放的性欲，更是可怕。果然，牧师教出来一个邪女，自己无法拯救，而他的福音受众也是杀人恶魔，这波暗讽很直接，这很A24。杀戮那些地方非常b级，有新奇的死法，也有更令人毛骨悚然的老太婆跳舞和性爱场面。所以我是加分的。
