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)
还可以，这个系列继续出的话还是会看的，喜欢Sid
【米奇·麦迪森】非常适合扮演“嬉皮士” … 她在《好莱坞往事》（2019）中的“嬉皮士”造型太“正”了！
这个系列也到头了。
那个老警察，面对殺手的情况下，
又是一个毁前作系列，和最近看的德州电锯杀人狂一样，不作死就不会死，强化反派，队友永远弱鸡。
简直就是恐怖片影迷的狂欢，戏谑的玩梗，对前作与类型片的解构与致敬，层层反转反套路的剧作不禁让我想到当初看系列首作时的感觉，正像片中人物所说的火炬传递，优秀的重启。
It's always someone you know.
我为什么要看这种痴呆无脑又没有逻辑的系列折磨自己呢🤔。哦，对了，是为了去看惊声尖笑😂😂😂😂
Billy驻颜有术啊 其余剧情如果就一个b级片看还行
因为只看过1，对于1中非常多场景、调度和梗都还有一些印象，实在是过度消费整个系列，以至于缺乏自身的灵魂和趣味了。最后一段杀戮还不错，除此之外只是平庸
子弹都把杀人犯打不死。
要成功延续恐怖片IP生命力没那么容易，杀手的连续成功很无厘头，在这样一个小镇上，人人都会武装到牙齿，戴面具的杀手？心怀恐惧的居民人人都是杀手。一群新人在经历过数次惨剧的老人面前装逼还成功了？逻辑残破，表演做作，纯粹割韭菜，好莱坞短视的蠢人越来越多。
正统续作，向韦斯·克雷文致敬。第一部因为那面具转粉，转眼26年，我对情节没什么可抱怨的，感觉跟当初真的一样…医院那段氛围处理的太棒了，像在做恶梦。
感觉惊悚片的毛病全占了，不过作为第五部影迷的致敬还是有点新意。
我崴个脚都有拐两天，他们甭管中枪的中刀的比我体育考试跑得还快。
一星给工具人前夫哥，一星给其他老演员们，结束吧别拍了行么
这么离谱的电影也能上映，电影学生瞬间不想卷了
追下去的理由 从1-5的连续剧情 不追下去的理由 越来越扯 铁三角挂了一个。。。
毫无逻辑的各种杀人桥段，无意义的消费前作老演员，卖弄情怀之外这电影有什么存在的意义。
其实看这个系列猜凶手从来都没有意义，反正也没什么逻辑，最后谁是凶手都可以，看点永远是对恐怖片理论或现状的揶揄与恶搞，而这次的对象放在了恐怖片的影迷上，他们对片子续集不满，他们决定翻身做主人，亲自上场“改造”。另，杜威死了，sad。
