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)
对比温子仁前几部的作品，缺少了标志性恐怖的招牌，举例来说就是恐怖修女乍现时那种心提到嗓子眼的效果。不过整体还算不错。
如何做到控制曾经控制自己的加百利？这一点是不错且有趣的设定，但在片中只一句话带过，而且出现在了最后一刻，如果关于反控制这一点在片中再多一些斗智斗勇的片段应该会更好

温子仁……仁……仁……
这个，似乎从科学的角度解释了下加百列的存在，但它又很不科学地能控制电流……
寄生人被切掉了只剩下共享的一点脑子，能钻出来还带着牙齿和眼睛，钻回去头皮自动会缝合，能控制电流和无线电，like really？
天才之作，个人认为优于《招魂》和《电锯惊魂》。后悔没有提前点映的时候去看。
握草，又是老温常用的最后揭密发大招。希望家暴施暴者看完会脖子发凉。要是没有《白发魔女》里大boss印象太深少了点惊喜，会再加一星。
温子仁回归自己出道时最擅长的b级恐怖片叙事结构。经过几部商业动作片的洗礼，仿佛看了一部动作凌厉，惊险刺激的升级版《死寂》。
幸好本人不爱好那些喜欢吹毛求疵来显示自己有品位的。未删减版就是好看，虽然不再是灵解的故事，但整个节奏都非常的明快顺畅，虽然对于一个新故事，开头的剧情进展的不够直接，但结尾的爽快的虐杀和肢体戏化都让电影的观感升级不少。尤其是让我们看到了真正的畸形脸，虽然对于恐怖片老饕来说不恐怖，也不悬疑，但是爽啊。
对铅黄电影的致敬算是亮点，本质上还是温子仁个人风格主导
<肿瘤侠>是谁添加的译名，笑死！我的观影疑惑也是在法律层面，这么多人得算是谁杀的？
好像是第一次看溫子仁 海王不算 收貨吧 爽是爽的 製作其實不小 雖然所有卡司看上去都是「我來打工」的樣子 看到很多熟悉的套路和元素 which means我已經不覺得害怕
鏡頭調度喜歡。除去女主的女性選角是照著一個模板來的嗎。Where is my mind的这版改编合适
恐怖氛围做得挺屌的，转场调度也有很亮眼的时刻。就是那位的能力为什么会这么强完全没有解释一头雾水。
场景切换非常灵，但女主瞬移的逻辑有点难以自圆其说。设定与关节逆向的表现非常克总，同时触发老金家『黑暗的另一半』。代入感可以有=边看边摸向后脑勺վ'ᴗ' ի整体观感倾向动作科幻片，悬疑因素与哥特浪漫情怀到位。温子仁立意还是挺善良哒
虽然后半段揭秘有点儿多，但胜在前面氛围营造得好。类似“双（共）生”的命题，其实恶魔是阴影面。她忍受够了他的家暴，终于弄死了他，这才是故事的核心。其他的，都是让其合理的论据。行家一出手，就知道有么有。恭喜温导回归恐怖片。三星半
温导拍了部大杀四方的大爽片，警告世人：家暴后果很严重。
新变种人+走近科学
这个电影值得一篇柳叶刀的论文，以后骂人脑子有病得小心点了，转个头就是双面杀手，但是Gabriel这飞檐走壁手刃数十人的技能哪儿来的，另外那把匕首很好看
