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)
1下水道鼠人。2殡仪馆人尸变。3突袭研究人与机器结合的科学家4.缉毒小分队被邪教女队员利用录像带蛊惑后被杀害
改造人那个故事最没意思…守灵人和鼠人并列第二，吸血鬼宗教那个故事看得懂的人会觉得最有趣！
一般般，甚至个人感觉不如第三部，第三部里至少有个故事比较好，这部里一个喜欢的都没有，也就鼠人还可以，其他都很平庸
本来打算做字幕给大家的，可惜精力有限，没做完，交给BtoZ群里的朋友接手了，字幕今晚发。 说说片子，挺好看，希望这个系列一直走下去。
2星全给那个守灵的故事，其他的一星都不想给，劝大家不要浪费时间
有以前cult片那味了，前两个故事都很nice！好久没看到这种复古风味了，整体质感也很到位，期待下一部？
第四个当个笑话看看吧，还挺好玩的
都市传说系列作品，这是系列的第四部，因为模仿94年的纪录片，以及94年的科技水平叫了94.整体番茄酱充足，印尼部分比较超现实。也就猎奇的镜头拉高一定的观看感觉。
[视]R血，shudder流媒体。超出预期，四个故事，推荐前三个，前两个故事铺垫，第三个故事高潮
四个平庸的短篇凑齐来还算不错。《真·鬼影实录》＞《下水道的美人鼠》＞《自爆吸血鬼》＞《赛博疯子的诞生》 其实还是第三部的《平行世界》最cult。（2022.4.27豆瓣6.3分）
下水道鼠人怪、殡仪馆复活的被肢解的尸体、实验室机器合成人，还有最后一个雪地里的故事不懂什么意思。挺CULT, 够暴力, 机器合成人那里恶心了一下。永远不要给机器人活着的机会！！
照比前三部差很多，除了机械博士的有点意思，其它的都不够邪，而且少了这个系列最重要的东西，就是xxx漂亮妹子！
我靠，太他妈…过于恶心了，但有点好看。我不就爱看恶心的吗？！想把前面的都看了。
真的是非常的重口味。机械实验是里面最好的故事。
《忍者神龟》前传之老鼠大师融脸神教崛起，守灵夜中邪缝合活尸解体翻生，印尼血浆特摄人体改造赛博新人类大战特警队，美帝红脖革命被吸血鬼延误多年……除了画面做旧外，几个故事议题其实跟94年都没多大联系，所谓复古主要是为了掩饰本集成本太低吧？但回归粗糙质感的B片大杂烩，也挺好
机械飞升的那个故事最好 希望这个系列继续拍下去
四个故事短小精悍 主线含糊不清 致命录像带一贯的作风 晃 糊 黑 却很有看头 很喜欢
想说先看一会儿打发时间，结果一不小心全看完了，够血腥，够cult。
故事不是很新颖，但胜在拍摄手法。有时间把其他几部也看了
雖然演技尷尬但是我好喜歡這個系列。粗糙硬核僞記録都市傳說
