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)
越到后面剧情越逗比和儿戏啊，boss出场后，就像进入了80年代的情景剧，立马和时代脱节。最后，一群人脱智表现，烘托小女孩的智商和果敢在线？
元素和《佩小姐的奇幻城堡》很相似，但观感却比《佩小姐的奇幻城堡》差很多；此片拍的很有特摄片的感觉，奇幻和儿童的效果融合成这样导演也是尽力了。
没看过前作，但是这部前边的铺垫过于冗长了，属实是没什么意思
One of the best gay cliche but inspiring movie.
Charlie长得太像陈坤了，像到打了个冷颤的程度。其它的倒是不难看。WYT
Howie，cute；Will，cute；Charlie，cute；就是主角Noah我不太行。
【C】主角低龄化的同时，内容也变得低龄化了。
这段期间最喜欢的商业片 结尾真的感动到了 情怀拉满
很神奇，偏远小镇、作死青年、神秘的父辈、科技怪才。。。这种种元素堆起来就是妥妥的悬疑片，但是这部竟然是意外，非得向着喜剧靠，效果是有，但是让两个小孩，后面哥哥和餐厅女孩（甚至看完下来都记不住名字）加入了捉鬼小分队，完全撑不起场面。小女孩聪明也只体现在知道的学术知识很多，那老师更是sb，在小镇研究地震那么久不知道个所以然，反而还带着两个小孩打开陷阱器？？？反派也就那样，场面很足但是还是很弱鸡，最佳反派应该是棉花糖小鬼，太可爱了！一句话总结就是不如上一部啊
倒是照顾了情怀吧。
240th 骄傲月很轻松的gay妞电影，男酮版傲慢与偏见，更难得的是以亚裔为主角。
冲着童年回忆《捉鬼敢死队》来的，然而剧情实在太简单，前面的一个多小时节奏巨慢，后面为了赶时间疯狂加速……最后的合体拉了一把情怀，可是……能不能先把故事讲好？
老了 看不得儿童片了 带着孩子一起看就很快乐
小演员演技很好。影片情怀满满，很适合和家人朋友一起观看。
4.3 同志小妞电影，有很多次被尬到暂停，婊气抿嘴翻白眼
儿童恐怖片致敬老片。Phoebe的眼镜好好看
被轻松欢乐的风格一下子就吸引了眼球!阻隔人际交往的根本不是贫富的差距，当思想碰撞产生火花的时候，友谊接踵而来。这一群好朋友真的是羡慕不来的，无论在聚会上怎么出丑搞砸各种期待的场合，一整个不抛弃不嫌弃，有一帮真心劝解你又不逼迫你的朋友真的太舒服了。
两部《捉鬼敢死队》就比较一般，这部更是没意思，故事太平淡，比不过女版《捉鬼敢死队》；特效不错，小女孩很漂亮，但造型让我以为这是个漂亮的小男孩。
拒绝txl刻板形象，拒绝矫揉造作，拒绝油腻不堪
儿童恐怖片致敬老片。Phoebe的眼镜好好看
