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)
配乐挺好听的，就是总感觉有股小时代味儿……
少见的国产惊悚电影，亲情 科学 民俗结合的不错。王真儿很适合这个角色
作为一部万圣节儿童剧来说，制作的精良程度完全超出想象，很多电影都有《格林童话》的糖果屋，但这部电影是迄今为止我看过最有食欲的糖果屋场景了。
老实说比预期的要好，有些镜头气氛也还是比较到位的，故事也说明白了，就是觉得剪辑有点凌乱，大女主真是太牛逼了，电影的走向有点超出我预期（最可怕的永远不是鬼怪是人心）
国产恐怖片的尿性，不是装神弄鬼就是神经病，和第一部一毛一样的框架，套了个壳子讲了个不一样的故事，你说你打个悬疑情感剧都好，非得加个惊悚来骗我，气人
第一世界儿童的烦恼，也这么难看，不仅难看，男女主还特别讨厌…
有些刻意了。。 过于耍宝，也不是很懂为什么女警察突然就成了反派
不要轻易地让别人知道你的弱点，弗吉尼亚真的很坏
一星给两个主演美丽的脸（）看完全片真的会觉得几分钟的cp剪辑赢了
很不错啊 制作很用心 鬼故事 女巫 女巫城堡制作都很不错 结尾还有悬念 挺好的
冲着这个黑人演员来看的 为什么他就是自带搞笑天赋啊！
我吐槽了一整集，但我还是多给一星吧，水猴子做得好
魔童的导演，水平还是不行，差点睡着，故事不行，想像力不行，节奏不行
能给七分了，相当不错的国产恐怖片，虽然还是套路故事，但女主在寻找弟弟的过程中完成自我救赎，韩栋这个角色实惨
難得看到一部法國片娛樂性這麼足，又搞笑又諷刺。
3.5星，儿童向恐怖电影，整个故事还是有能看的地方，就是略显冗长了点，希望可以再紧凑些，小黑妹楚楚可怜的演技有惊艳到我，算是可以打发时间一看的电影。
第一世界儿童的烦恼，也这么难看，不仅难看，男女主还特别讨厌…
很惊喜！！本来以为和第一部一样生硬落入俗套，没想到居然可以讲一个比较完整的故事，恐怖氛围营造的也不错，内核也高级多了，女主真的爱了！胆大心细！有勇有谋！聪明勇敢！水猴子是她弟弟这一点确实没想到，还有点狗血，不过整体真的不错！！鼓励鼓励！
全程看着Diana和Kristine。真的好美啊。Kristine真的长了一副天生的配角脸。Diana就天生是主角。故事剧情太薄弱了，但是两个女主太美啦。当然我还是更喜欢Kristine
整体来说，没啥新意，很早中国版咖喱辣椒比这部有意思，法国式幽默，夹杂着血腥和暴力，碎嘴带着色情，很多元素都涉及，公路飙车，枪战笼战都没有很出色表现出来，只能说表现平平。只是能顺畅的把故事讲完而已。
