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)
王真儿的演技还是救不回剧情。btw，还是觉得上海女子图鉴这种现代+戏剧调调的剧更适合她
制作可，剧作真不可，跟水形物语海报色调简直一模一样啊
比第一部好看点，带点悬疑推理！这部的水怪其实是被人心的险恶逼出来的！
恐怖全靠梦境，病毒可以变水陆两栖动物，我去年买了个表
简单的剧情，水猴子的形象有点恶心，画面是种黏糊糊的霉烂感，不喜欢，最后果然亲情底
好久没看恐怖片了，居然还挺好看的。虽然有些地方说不太通，但是总体故事还算比较完整。还挺喜欢女主那个调调的。
好久没关注了，主角好多技能都没看过（怎么变成蜘蛛侠了），打斗流畅度挺好的，就是剧情太无聊，战斗技能来来回回就那两招，虽然飚血了，但剧情方面只能给小学生看了。
也就那样，消磨时间的无意义作品，纯粹是闲的，要是几年前应该会很喜欢，现在已经不了。
在网大中应该算是比较突出的了，剧本还差点感觉，但是环境氛围确实是营造的不错，国产网大往这种方向发展，比有些院线电影真的好的太多了。
逻辑硬伤太多，女主颜值演技都一般，既不恐怖又不县级
拍摄手法很棒，情节流畅不拖沓。亲情封建等元素，丰富电影内容！在网络电影里算是很棒了！分类在恐怖类，作为恐怖电影爱好者，觉得恐怖分量不是太足...
作为国产恐怖片，氛围营造不错，故事有头有尾，算及格了
前面有点不敢看，后面还是被煽情哭了，女主演技不错，长得也好看。剧情还可以，她俩弟弟都好可怜
第一部是真鬼，第二部是真亲情☺️智商在线画面在线剧情在线，最后的反转加分～
女主演技挺好的，有点被浪费了。
未免太过理想化，剧情逻辑比较差，一星给画风
好吧，看完了，挺乱七八糟的，编剧水准可以。
更加注重了情感。
deku變蜘蛛俠 經費好多 打鬥分鏡狠 轟真帥啊😭我愛他 很寂寞看完
虽然技术上有进步，但是构思和剧情方面是肉眼可见的退步，请二线明星也找不回当年那种天马行空的感觉了
