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)
老头老太太欲求不满，大开杀戒，最后被反杀，前面墨迹了一个小时，开两倍速都嫌慢，都是俗套，浪费时间，可以不看
摩登版的刑房/恐怖星球。恐怖片的手法非常好猜，而且真的非常好笑。感觉如果是午夜场和朋友一起去会看的很开心的那种。slasher和VHS B级片的大杂烩，配乐还挺好听！
太一般…老年人招谁惹谁了 被导演给拍成嫉妒 自怨自艾 性爱成瘾的形象…
摄影剪辑音效音乐都太棒了，海报就值得一星。
不如电锯来得爽快。你的哥现在的角色都这么爽的吗？
从A片变恐怖片，是old woman被激发起来的性欲却不能有效实现，背景铺垫不够导致整个杀戮略显突兀（不过据说已有第二部前传）。满满七八十年代恐怖片味道，低像素画面，越粗糙反而却越“精致”复古啊。还有《闪灵》砍门镜头不愧是经典，又一次被致敬了。
A24出品基本质量是可以保证的，披着色情片外衣的恐怖片，犹如当年披着恐怖片在院线上映的色情片，相同的一点都是X分级。前半部分摄影构图漂亮，后半部分撒血浆略显随意。
很另类的恐怖片，暴力的实行者如此老弱不堪，血浆飞溅，看到的不是恐怖，反而是有些悲哀，特别是最后电视里播放着宗教的回归，主角正是女主，实在有些浓烈的反讽。
依旧是一部杀疯了的恐怖片。片中片照应的故事，作为一个对色情片有追求的导演，把后半段拍成恐怖片也很合理吧......郊外租房，行为怪异的人这种老套的故事，床震那段笑死了。
by the lookds of everything, I'd say one goddamn fucked up horror picture. 人们只想看Tits ass and big dick. 我嫉妒你的美貌 你的年轻 你的肉体 而我却风烛残年，人老枯黄。
前半截色情片，后半截恐怖片——不惊悚只惊吓。老年人青春不在心不甘比较特别
想起来以前看过一篇文章讲养老院老人性需求。还行吧 故事一般 视听挺好 在车灯前面杀人画面慢慢变红 闪切（有这个名吗 我瞎说的） 我最喜欢的地方是老太太拿草叉软绵绵地戳了一下尸体 mia老喜欢演这种片
When people can't fuck, they kill
Ti West 威武。非邪恶，而是彻头彻尾的闹剧。血浆引发的笑声打通Sex Blood Youth任督二脉，招魂铅黄电影现世。
高龄夫妻档杀人狂，杀起人来干净利落，成人片剧组不承想落入了恐怖片片场。老奶奶是年轻女演员所扮演，有坐地吸土那味。

质感和主题都好，看的太舒服了，B级片往往都是血腥和色情，但为什么一定要密不可分，这个做的真好，
前面的铺垫会让人摸不着头脑，但总体还行，结尾相对还不错。最震惊的是女主一人分饰两角！
妆发:★★
2.5星 最后有被二老笑到 哈哈哈 一个被吓到心脏病发了 一个被散弹枪的后坐力摔断髋骨 哈哈哈哈 整个片子的精华
