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)
黑白黄人种都有了，政治正确合格的小成本惊悚片。
让人惊喜的小成本电影，女主为了看望生病的母亲，漆黑的夜里，一人驱车前往医院，路上遇到了暴风雪只好在服务站等待雪停，一群陌生人在此相遇。女主发现他们其中一个人的车里有被绑架的女孩，想尽一切办法解救女孩，电影有几次小反转很精彩，比如玩牌游戏和女主发现坏人不止一个的时候，电影演到中间我以为黑人大叔是救兵，谁知他原来是来打酱油的，靠男人拯救一切还是算了，关键时刻还是要看女人，女主智商一路在线（女主手腕被钉钉子还是挺疼的）与坏人搏斗到底，电影有小刺激也有小心思，全片完成度挺高。推荐。
封闭空间，有限的几个人，居然一半都是恶人，这还能搞？！只能说，女主的主角光环带给她无比强大的武力和生命力
小成本暴风雪山庄，人物少、场景简单，故事不啰嗦，反转也是预期中的效果，整体仍然是套路中的惊悚电影。
不应该叫暂无出口，应该叫不停反转。反转多了我都能猜出剧情走向。小女孩啥也没做赢到了最后。
前一个点能打四星 后一个点直线下降 杀手人设挺讨喜 故事老套就不说了 真的故事太老套了 就没有什么靠谱的杀手中介吗
女主很强悍，剧情方面不必为了反转而强行反转，毕竟就那几个角色，很容易猜到
女主角武力值没有很高，单纯的悬疑动作现在似乎很难拍得让人特别喜欢，不看也不会有损失，3.5
小成本的惊悚片能做到这样算是不错了，小空间里面发生的小故事，不过还编得有模有样，暴风雪困了劫匪，路人，女主，虽然不能难推理出反派的存在，细节上存在一些bug和漏洞，但片尾一点小反转让全片有了不同于网大烂片的亮点。很难看到有亚裔作为主角的片子，尽管人设是个瘾君子，不过并没有太黑其智商，至少整个故事里面女主的行为和思维逻辑没有那些不靠谱的迷之操作。倒是黑人退伍军人挂得有点草率，政治正确也应该让其有点表现吧。全片节奏还算紧张，除了警察是个工具人，其他角色形象不算单薄，可以一看。
雪山，密室，狼人杀…磕了药的女主练成金刚不坏之身…就离谱…但是，要我，我可能第一时间就叫人了，然后GG了…
被劫小女孩醒了之后才算反转，整体还是比较套路；不过还挺喜欢女主的。
出乎意料的精彩，为剧本和女主的表演打call！
反派死于好奇心重又话多，还有防滑鞋的重要性
剧情完整但太单薄了，前一个小时挺无聊，后面也没紧张起来
doesn't even build based on any logic
只有暴风雪没有暴风雪山庄，前半段还有悬疑，而当小女孩点破所有隐藏身份时，就变成了你追我逃、好人不补刀、坏人死于话多的常规套路。女主手上有枪，竟然要逃离一个手上带着射钉枪的绑匪，强行的有些刻意。
小成本暴风雪山庄模式惊悚片。虽然剧情本身有些微bugs (比如人口拐卖竟挑动静大的富豪家孩子，还是入室强绑；比如妻子在富豪家工作，丈夫竟完全不知妻子雇主孩子的模样)，但情节紧凑，反转给力，演员演技在线，摄影运镜有老胶片质感，算是这一类型中的佳片了。
最近就一直沉浸在艾尔登里没啥别的娱乐，这片儿吧 也就是三分水平了，后面那几个暴力镜头 还是挺猛的，有想法 完成度也可以 就没啥深度了
小说改编反转，低成本惊悚片，亚裔女主《求救信号》，还可以。
