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)
Carol, why do you want us to bail? Just tell us why.
searchlight公司也拍了这么普通的作品！造型普通，就是个寄生兽
整体氛围感营造的还可以，鹿魔的造型、一步一步到最后露出真面目的递进都不错，尤其寄宿人体然后爆胸而出的设定都比较高能～然后优点就这么多了……
女主一人之力搞死了全部，怪兽造型不错，开心就好，完全不用理会剧情。小男孩演的好，大有可为，表扬。
电影的怪物很有趣，但是影片内涵不足，似乎讨论了儿童虐待问题，但是点到为止，没有展开，而且怪物的出现也与虐待没有什么本质联系。
乡村衰败，制度崩坏无序，毒品药物泛滥，怪物风格有点像ritual
男主害死了弟弟？？还是他爸选中了弟弟？好像是两次漠视弟弟的死…没错了
改编自印第安食人魔温迪戈传说！R级怪兽恐怖片《鹿角》片段，《水形物语》《环太平洋》吉尔莫·德尔·托罗监制， 讲述俄勒冈州一个小镇的老师和他的哥哥——当地警官，对一个神秘内向的学生产生了兴趣，当她意识到这个男孩藏有一个致命秘密、将是他们小镇存活的关键的时候，一切为时已晚。特效比异形还恶心🤢，克苏鲁神话有点反胃🤢……
想起大话西游里唐僧那句台词。我写一句类似的，「之前是杀了那个弟弟救了哥哥，现在要杀这个弟弟了……」
Solid setup that unfortunately did not come together at the end. Cool monster though
破碎的家庭，荒凉的小镇，有嫌隙的姐弟，多年后返乡。
最后一段，看的连呼无语。亲哥快死了不管，不立刻叫救护车非得先救小孩。非把亲哥带到作死地点以后再叫救护车，然后单枪匹马地就去了，我就想女主心里没点数？哪来的勇气啊？哦，原来勇气不是梁静茹给的，是主角光环给的。毕竟凶猛无比的大怪物被女主几下留给戳死了。最后亲哥也变异了。只能说编剧是真恨亲哥啊，非把他弄死不可。
就这？
一般般，这种题材完全可以拍的更好，带上更深的宗教色彩，人性的贪婪什么的
葫芦娃救爷爷剧情 其实全程只有老师在怕的 怪物都是小男孩喂熟的他怕什么啦😂
女主比他弟弟适合当警长，执行力，判断力击杀力全部都是满点技能。
怪物设计不错，但想讲的东西太多——环境、儿童贫困、忽视虐待…反而都没讲好，又想拍艺术电影又舍不得大众观众结果弄出个像片中Windigo一样的四不像。ps. 秋冬阴冷灰绿的俄勒冈好美，如果不是剧本过于松散我愿意加到四星
7分吧，接受了地点真实年代架空很多剧情问题就淡化了，前半部还是挺抓人的，后半部开始出现一些常见毛病：用不作死就不会死的角色发展剧情，节奏莫名加快草草收尾，留了个死里逃生的只是为了第二部。结尾制片看到陀螺的名字笑了，氛围真的是照着他的风格做的
好怕卢卡斯被感染啊，难得的恐怖片里的不让人讨厌的孩子，甚至让人喜欢让人心疼，勇敢坚强。可惜了女主的哥哥，不幸中招，看来也是个迷惘或者软弱或者堕落者了，根据背景更可能是软弱者
制毒贩毒的一家 vs. 被性侵的圣母bitch，知道导演想说堕落的地方被毒品搞的人不是人，但也太磨叽了
