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)
《论弟弟在我分手后把前女友变成了弟妹，然后我带着女同事/炮友参加婚礼后相爱的故事》
牛逼在意想不到的概念上，框架烂了点，题材牛逼，反向驱魔肺活量大师，讽刺得好。
场面极度邪典，甚至开始反思的正义性～
哈哈哈哈哈哈以为是吐槽，确实是恶魔给神父驱魔为了驱除上帝
有些地方看的好糊涂
是我天真了，我以为又是一个普通的误入歧途的牧师最终成为真正上帝仆人的故事。额，编剧真的不是反基督吗……
影片展现的驱魔手段单调，到最后就是双方对着喊，似乎完全比拼意志，没任何技术，国人较难理解，与想象中封神榜那样的各种法术大相径庭
不过脑子的小妞电影，又忆起青春岁月追剧的时光。只是，现在只我一人喜怒哀乐～
故事结构很有趣，有些镜头老套，生化危机即视感给我看笑了。片尾天上地下大战预约续集。
勉强及格的“恐怖片”，看来梵蒂冈的队伍里早就不纯洁了哈哈哈
恶魔带着静电所以当他附身时被附身的人会炸毛。梵蒂冈游人都戴着口罩就感觉确实是这段时间的电影
驱魔变得像是在比谁嗓门大。。如果坚持不交易会怎样呢？最后倒是非常非常惊喜，难道有续作？
观感是彷佛正值数九隆冬，我坐在壁炉边烤了100分钟火
前期节奏感真的不错，很活力。但后期感觉落入了俗套的琼瑶式剧情延申。作为爆米花或是轻喜剧还是蛮不错的。
剧情一般，但是上帝与恶魔斗法的情节设定还是很有新意的，我愿称之为欧美驱魔片中的翘楚！
很离谱的展开。有一些好笑的逻辑。但是不吓人。
不功不过的浪漫爱情喜剧片，两个看起来相互憎恨彼此的男女主，结果早就对对方芳心暗许，老套的剧情，可我就是喜欢这么别扭又口是心非的哈哈。两个人剧情进展太奇怪了，感觉中间有些不必要的波折，比如女主误会男主在骗他，而面对两人共同的竞争，男主另谋高就直接退出的处理方式也让我不太喜欢，看起来就像拱手相让一样，并不尊重女主的做法。电影好在两个人的化学反应真的很好，恨的时候有恨的那股劲，爱的时候也欲罢不能，好评。
学了一个词。邪典电影。cult film。
不错，有创意，不算浪费时间。后面好看，前面略没意义，我理解为导演水平有成长空间。周知，豆瓣恐怖片有6分已不错，个个带着逻辑看恐怖片，什么带喇叭阿、把嘴封起来阿，这么严谨带道德看啥电影娱乐呢，去学习阿
反向驱魔的设定很有意思，两边对攻式驱魔哈哈，恶魔驱逐上帝。结尾的被附身的囚犯丧尸化追着人跑让人一点都严肃不起来，笑出声了。
