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)
很惊喜，国内近几年第一次出现小成本高质量的科幻悬疑片，影片基调很赞，虽说模仿痕迹很重，但整体拍得可圈可点。
同类型的片子不少，平行森林着重描写的是人性的选择，有自己的特点，不错
2.音乐较差，太过沉重的配乐，导致整个影片节奏都太过沉闷。
非常期待后边两部作品！导演加油！
科幻悬疑电影，100万成本拍了14天，一共四个演员，我觉得已经非常好了，推荐一波。另外b站上导演很有趣。
小成本制作，仅用三个人物和一片神秘诡谲的森林撑起了整部片子。没有特意描述穿越平行世界的过程，无声无息，通过对白以及各种细节表现出不同平行世界的微妙差异，既省掉特效，同时手法也很高明，有一种成熟科幻片的质感，完成度不错。全片有一种《彗星来的那一夜》的感觉，虽然说比较软科幻，很多坑都无需填，但也不影响其成为国产悬疑科幻的一股清流。
感觉还行吧，《彗星来的前一夜》那类故事。没有太出彩，也没有太邋遢。平淡。
第3405-给编导雷神点个赞，100万成本可以了，演员演技也可以，虽然有点像《时空罪恶》。
还不错挺有意思，但也确实不算新鲜，而且节奏掌控和故事张力一般。
摄影挺棒，配乐还不错，视听语言匮乏，通篇是谁说话给谁镜头，远没有达到用画面讲故事的水平。故事毫无新意，平行空间那一套，台词又白又糙，演技不得不说是在给观众上刑了。综合来讲勉强能看，适合做成一个短片。
3.整体电影质感不错，故事剧情也让人耳目一新。
果然如果平行世界的另一个自己过得比自己好，那自己一定会杀死另一个自己…能不能有点别的思路呢？比如好几个自己一起生活，看看能过多久…
全片成本竟然只花了98.7万。 保利天安门 不散No.216
非常期待后边两部作品！导演加油！
如果没看过同类型题材的《彗星来的那一夜》，会觉得是个小惊喜。但是本片各方面都太粗糙了，包括演员的表演。据说好莱坞已经要翻拍了，剧本确实不错，可是各方面的执行都有不少问题，导致看片过程需要耐心，尤其是前半部分
执行的非常出色的翻拍，很值得鼓励。四星鼓励一下。
实拍景色跟软科幻内核决定了他的可看性，但国产科幻的受众就决定了本片的评分不会高
模仿《恐怖游轮》《彗星来的那一夜》的痕迹很严重。主旨就是:一切就是一场梦，循环往复想不通，为了儿子杀自己，曾经往事化成风。
小成本，美国买了版权翻拍。女主丧子之痛是电影的核心，定下了阴冷的基调，整个电影的环境，音乐都在烘托这种氛围，女主丧子自责悲痛，这种情感无处释放，在平行森林里寻找出口就像寻找情绪发泄的出口，稍走几步就容易迷路的森林更像是一个情感的漩涡，所以科幻在本片还是媒介，表现的还是人物的精神世界，就像女主看的《闪灵》。
结局算是个亮点。叙事手法和技巧还是比较稚嫩。鼓励一下吧
