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)
60分。及格吧。小成本，有几个地方确实被吓到。女性的直觉以及遭遇的恶意等等。很担心最后她连丈夫也射一枪。可难道那样处理岂不是更爽哉？
不要一厢情愿度测一个女人的说法……
非要弄个傻逼男主做靶子。。。
#SIFF 男人有TM什么用？还得靠自己 最后真解气 全场鼓掌
我挺喜欢这个结局的。脖子上侧面那么一划拉，感觉不深也不长，没死可能性是挺高的，何况多爽啊，不被相信的狼来了就该有这样的结局。放过他再死几个没人相信的“神经病”吗？爽片。（没有女权的意思，就老公不信任不陪伴还拿老婆开玩笑再装无奈太垃圾了）
看的快睡着了，除了稍微养眼外，剧情太拖沓了。
当然，这只是可能……
就冲着氛围感看下来的，色调好看，罗马尼亚街景养眼。就是有点凑剧情，而且感觉杀人狂前半的平淡和暴露后的狰狞没拉开，张力不够，有点不过瘾。

前3/4太文艺片风格和色调一度让我以为是女主疑神疑鬼了 骚瑞我有罪
氛围感很不错。近年比较流行这种窥探类电影。
氛围挺好 就是有点假 那个丈夫 还有最后的割喉
如此明目张胆的站在窗前偷看要是发生在中国分分钟被警察查水表。然后女主不会用手机拍照或录像给她老公看吗？
4.5 个人觉得非常好看 大概有5，6处恐怖手法用的非常高级，塑料袋透视scene简直绝。导演也是很会拿捏观众情绪。Monroe算是it follows恐怖悬疑片双杀吧哈哈，演技太好了。这么好的悬疑片怎么没什么宣传。
所以说，千万不要以为跟着老公去了一个陌生的国家就能开始新人生了，也许这就是你人生的终结呢。
铺垫一大堆，反杀一瞬间。女生真的要相信自己的直觉啊。
3.5星，剧情整体单薄，但胜在细节氛围，把握的窒息感十足。熬夜看完了，还算不错
女性太容易有代入感了…可能只有女性才会如此共情这种恐惧感
各种主角找死的恐怖片 我是真能一路骂到底
就算高潮只有最后二发子弹 但是基本全程无尿点的流畅
